What is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell, built from a nicotinamide nucleotide joined to an adenine nucleotide. It is a central carrier of electrons in redox reactions, cycling between its oxidised form (NAD+) and reduced form (NADH). Its molecular formula is C21H27N7O14P2 and its molar mass is 663.4 g/mol. It is not a peptide and it is not a hormone. Aminolabs supplies it as a defined research chemical, nothing more.

Is NAD+ a peptide, and how does it differ from NMN?

No. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide. It is also distinct from NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (nicotinamide riboside), which are biosynthetic precursors that sit upstream of NAD+ in metabolic pathways. Only NAD+ carries CAS 53-84-9 and PubChem CID 5892.

Is NAD+ legal in the UK?

NAD+ is an endogenous coenzyme and is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Aminolabs supplies it strictly as a research chemical for laboratory and analytical use only. It is not a medicine, not a supplement, and cannot be sold or supplied for human or animal consumption.

How is the identity and quality assured?

Each batch is supplied with a third-party Certificate of Analysis confirming a minimum of 99% purity by HPLC. The material is characterised against its published identifiers: CAS 53-84-9, PubChem CID 5892, molecular formula C21H27N7O14P2, molar mass 663.4 g/mol, InChIKey BAWFJGJZGIEFAR-NNYOXOHSSA-N.
