Dragon Pharma NAD+ 500 mg Nicotinamide Dinucleotide Vial

Dragon Pharma NAD+ 500 mg Research Vial

NAD+ is not a peptide and not a hormone: it is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a dinucleotide coenzyme that shuttles electrons in the redox reactions cells use to make energy. It also acts as a substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins and PARP, which is where most of the research interest comes from. Sold on this shelf as a support compound rather than an anabolic, it is nonetheless supplied as research material with one 500 mg pack option.

• 500 mg lyophilized powder per vial, one pack option
• Redox coenzyme, INN nadide, not a peptide
• GMP-manufactured and HPLC-verified, COA per batch
• U.S. domestic and international shipping options

How NAD+ Works

The coenzyme accepts and donates electrons in mitochondrial metabolism, and separately serves as the substrate that sirtuins and PARP consume when they modify proteins. Those roles are why NAD+ is studied in the context of cellular aging and metabolic function. What the sources do not provide is a clean pharmacokinetic profile: no single half-life is established, and the estimates of a several-day intracellular pool cannot be read as a plasma half-life. No approved dose exists.

Reconstitution & Research Use

Add bacteriostatic water or sterile water down the inside wall of the vial and swirl, never shake. Five hundred milligrams with 5 ml gives 100 mg/ml, so 0.1 ml holds 10 mg and reads as 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe; half the fill in the same volume gives 50 mg/ml and 5 mg per 10 units. Clinical practice uses intravenous infusion rather than injection, and a 2026 pilot study noted that marked symptoms lengthened infusions to an average of about 97 minutes, which is a tolerability observation rather than a protocol. It is usually grouped with the other cellular-aging research items such as Epitalon and with the neuropeptides Semax and Selank. Reported effects during infusion are flushing, nausea and chest tightness.

Quality & Authenticity

Each batch is produced under GMP conditions and checked by HPLC, with a Certificate of Analysis held for the batch. Keep the powder cold and dark and the mixed solution refrigerated, and treat this compound as a laboratory reagent rather than a medicine.
