Also known as: nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide, NAD
> PLACEHOLDER — pending clinical review by licensed pharmacist. NAD+ is an endogenous coenzyme used as a supplement for cellular energy and longevity interests. Not a drug; supplement / research use.
Mechanism
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism (redox reactions) and as a substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs. Interest centers on maintaining NAD+ levels, which decline with age in preclinical models.
Research summary
NAD+ biology is well established, but evidence for direct NAD+ supplementation (including IV administration) improving clinical outcomes is limited; much human research focuses on precursors such as NR and NMN. It is generally marketed as a supplement rather than an approved drug for specific indications.
Dosing in the literature
Studied via intravenous and other routes in small studies; robust dose-response data for clinical outcomes are limited. This summary does not provide dosing.
Reported side effects
IV administration has been associated with infusion-related effects such as flushing, nausea, and chest discomfort when infused rapidly. Long-term safety data for supplementation are limited.
Stacking notes
Frequently discussed alongside NAD+ precursors (NMN, NR) and related cofactors in longevity contexts; controlled human outcome evidence for combinations is limited.
