NAD+ 500mg Buffered
What does "Coenzyme/Anti-Aging" mean?
This is a higher-dose, pH-stabilized form of NAD+. "Buffered" means the pH has been adjusted to be less irritating and more stable.
Explained Simply
NAD+ is like fuel for your cells. This buffered version is mixed with special ingredients that make it gentler and keep it stable longer, like adding padding to protect fragile cargo.
How It Works
Functions identically to standard NAD+ - serving as a coenzyme in redox reactions and a substrate for NAD+-consuming enzymes like sirtuins and PARPs. Buffering improves tolerability without altering mechanism.

Quick Reference
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme essential for cellular energy metabolism. It serves dual functions as a coenzyme in redox reactions and as a substrate for NAD+-consuming enzymes including sirtuins and PARPs.
Key Facts
- •Molecular weight: 663.43 g/mol
- •Essential coenzyme in all cells
- •Declines significantly with age
- •Required for 500+ enzymatic reactions
- •Sirtuin and PARP substrate
Mechanism of Action
Shuttles electrons in redox reactions for ATP production. Serves as fuel for sirtuins (longevity proteins) and PARPs (DNA repair). Levels decline ~50% between ages 40-60, correlating with aging phenotypes.
Research Applications
- Cellular energy metabolism research
- Longevity and aging studies
- DNA repair mechanism research
- Neuroprotection studies
Safety Profile
Essential endogenous molecule. Supplementation generally well-tolerated. IV administration may cause flushing. Buffered formulations improve tolerability.
