Longevity
NAD+ Peptides
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Precursors
Peptide formulations designed to boost NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is essential for energy production and DNA repair, and naturally declines with age.
Also known as: NAD+, Nicotinamide Riboside
- Status
- NAD+ Peptides is a research compound and not approved by the FDA for human use.
- Evidence
- Early human data. Only small or early-phase studies in people so far.
- Half-life
- Varies by formulation
- How it's taken
- IV infusion, subcutaneous injection, or oral supplement
- Mechanism
- Mitochondrial / longevity
- Pathways
- Nad Precursor
How NAD+ Peptides works
Supports the NAD+ salvage pathway, helping cells convert precursors into active NAD+. Higher NAD+ levels improve mitochondrial function (your cells' power plants) and activate sirtuins, proteins linked to longevity.
What research has looked at
