NAD+

NAD+ is pure nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide powder, the coenzyme found in every cell of the body. We sell it as a raw, unflavored powder for people who want to measure their own servings or build it into a formulation rather than pay for a tablet. It is a delicate molecule, so we pack it in small quantities to keep it fresh. Offered in 1g, 2g and 5g.

The herb. NAD+ is not a plant; it is a molecule built from niacin, vitamin B3, that every living organism makes. It was identified in the early twentieth century by biochemists studying yeast fermentation and turned out to be central to metabolism across all life. In the body it shuttles electrons during the reactions that turn nutrients into usable energy and serves as a substrate for the enzymes that maintain and repair DNA. Natural NAD+ levels are documented to decline sharply with age.

Active content. The powder is NAD+ in its oxidized form, the plus sign marking the charged state that accepts electrons. Because NAD+ is water-soluble and sensitive to heat and moisture, freshness matters more than with most powders; a jar that has gone tan or sticky has begun to break down.

Dosage, first time. Weigh a small amount on a milligram scale and dissolve it in cool water or under the tongue, in the morning. The taste is sharp and sour. Judge it over several days rather than an hour, because NAD+ is not a compound you feel quickly.

Regular use. People who use it regularly take a fixed amount once daily and keep the jar cold and sealed between servings. Consistency matters more than size.

What to expect. Users describe steadier energy through the day without any stimulant edge or crash. It suits people building a daily vitamin stack, and it is not a quick pick-me-up. It pairs well with our Vitamin B12 Supplement.

Side effects. Oral NAD+ and its precursors are documented to cause nausea, flushing, headache, mild digestive upset and fatigue in some people, usually at larger amounts. Reduce the amount or take it with food; stop if discomfort continues.

Interactions and cautions. Consult a professional before use if you take any medication or have a medical condition. Not for use if pregnant or nursing. For adults 21+ only.

Ingredients and storage. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) powder, no fillers. Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator or freezer, away from light and moisture, and let the jar reach room temperature before opening so condensation does not form.

Common questions

• How should I store NAD+ powder? Cold, dark and sealed; the refrigerator is best and the freezer is fine for long-term storage.
• Does NAD+ powder dissolve in water? Yes, it is water-soluble, and it tastes sharp and sour.
• How is NAD+ different from niacin or nicotinamide riboside? Niacin and nicotinamide riboside are precursors the body converts into NAD+, whereas this powder is the finished coenzyme itself.
