Body Pharm NAD+ 1000

Overview

Body Pharm NAD+ 1000 is a sealed, pre-filled multi-dose research pen containing 1000 mg of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in solution. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme present in every living cell, built from two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups — one carrying adenine, the other nicotinamide.

The pen is a laboratory research material. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research and is not for human or veterinary use. It is not a medicine, food, dietary supplement or cosmetic, and no medical, therapeutic or performance claims are made or implied. No dosing information is provided.

Research background

NAD+ cycles between its oxidised (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms as the principal electron carrier of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. It is also consumed as a substrate by three enzyme families — sirtuins (SIRT1–7), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and the CD38/CD157 glycohydrolases — which links cellular energy state to chromatin regulation, DNA-repair signalling and calcium signalling [1].

In the laboratory NAD+ is used as a substrate and cofactor in enzyme assays, in measurements of the NAD+/NADH ratio, in studies of mitochondrial respiration and in preclinical models of cellular ageing where NAD+ availability is the variable under study [1][2]. It is frequently studied alongside MOTS-c in models of mitochondrial function; see the NAD+ monograph for the identity data and primary literature.

Quality documentation

Every batch is HPLC-tested for purity and identity. The batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is published on this page and on our Certificates of Analysis page, and the batch number is printed on the pen label.

Storage and handling

Store refrigerated at 2–8 °C. Protect from light. Do not freeze. NAD+ in solution is sensitive to heat and alkaline pH; keep the pen sealed and refrigerated between uses. Handle only with appropriate personal protective equipment in a laboratory setting and dispose of the pen as laboratory sharps waste. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Supply, dispatch and returns

Dispatched from the UK by tracked Royal Mail in plain outer packaging; most UK orders arrive within 1–3 working days. Shipping is free on UK pen orders. Unused, unopened pens with the seal intact may be returned within 14 days of delivery; opened pens cannot be returned. See shipping and returns.
