Researchers who buy NAD+ usually want three things: enough material for a long study, a clear label and a format that fits the protocol. LA Peptides sells NAD+ as two lyophilized vial sizes and a premixed nasal spray, and stocks the compounds that tend to get studied next to it. Here’s how to choose.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It carries electrons in the reactions that turn food into energy, switching back and forth with its reduced form, NADH. It’s also used up by enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs, which handle DNA repair and gene regulation.
NAD+ was discovered in 1906 by Arthur Harden and William Young. Interest grew in the 2000s when studies showed NAD+ levels fall with age in animals. It isn’t a peptide, but it sits right next to peptides in a lot of aging research. This PubMed search on NAD+ and aging is a good place to start reading.
Ways to buy NAD+ at LA Peptides
The 500mg vial costs $74.99 and the 1000mg vial costs $119.99, so doubling the amount costs much less than double the price. If you’d rather skip reconstitution, the NAD+ nasal spray holds 500mg in 10ml, about 50mg per ml.
Which size should you buy? NAD+ vials compared
NAD+ is used in much larger amounts than most peptides, so size matters more than usual. For a short study or a first look, the 500mg vial means less left over. For anything that runs for weeks, the 1000mg vial is the better buy. Both carry a batch certificate of analysis through the QR code on the label.
Because the amounts are large, plan your water volume before you start. A 1000mg vial mixed with 10ml of bacteriostatic water gives 100mg per ml. Our peptide reconstitution guide has more examples.
Compounds to buy with NAD+
NAD+ rarely gets studied alone. 5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT, an enzyme that uses up NAD+ precursors. MOTS-C is a peptide coded by mitochondrial DNA, and SS-31 binds cardiolipin inside mitochondria. Together they cover the main threads of our longevity peptides range.
Two bundles group them for you. The Bel Air bundle pairs NAD+ 1000mg with MOTS-C, SS-31 and 5-Amino-1MQ capsules, and the Beverly Hills bundle pairs it with SLU-PP-332, 5-Amino-1MQ and MOTS-C. Both save about 15%.
Before you buy NAD+ online
- Check the amount per vial and whether you need one size or two
- Confirm the batch COA and match the lot number to your vial
- Order BAC water at the same time, since large vials need more of it
- Store sealed vials cold and dry, and use mixed solution within a few weeks
Where to buy NAD+
You can buy NAD+ directly from LA Peptides in all three formats. Add BAC water to the same order if you’re getting a vial, and look at the bundles if MOTS-C or 5-Amino-1MQ are on your list too.
Buy NAD+ FAQ
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. It’s a coenzyme, but it’s studied alongside peptides, so we stock it with them.
What’s the best value way to buy NAD+?
The 1000mg vial, which costs less per milligram than the 500mg size.
Can I buy NAD+ premixed?
Yes. The NAD+ spray holds 500mg in 10ml.
Is NAD+ from LA Peptides for human use?
No. It’s sold for laboratory research only.
