NAD+ is a molecule found in every living cell. It helps cells turn food into energy, and levels are known to drop with age, which is why it’s so popular in ageing research. This is NAD+ as a freeze-dried powder in a big 500 mg vial. It soaks up moisture easily, so keep the vial sealed and dry.
NAD+ for cellular-longevity research, shipped Canada-wide from Vancouver. One 500 mg vial, ≥99% purity, molecular weight 663.43 g/mol. Tested by an independent lab for purity and content (HPLC), and the lab report (COA) for your batch is available on request. Tracked, insured delivery across Canada — by Canada Post Xpresspost, usually 1 to 4 business days, with no customs step and no brokerage fee.
Sold as a laboratory research material only, for in vitro use. It isn’t a medicine and isn’t meant for people or animals.

NAD+ — compound background
Dinucleotide coenzyme — not a peptide
NAD+ is not a peptide at all, and that single fact governs everything about how it is handled. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme — nicotinamide and adenine linked through a pyrophosphate bridge — present in every living cell and central to redox metabolism. It was first identified in 1906 by Arthur Harden as a small heat-stable factor required for yeast fermentation.
Solubility & reconstitution
Very freely water-soluble — far more so than any peptide here — and the reason vial sizes are measured in hundreds of milligrams rather than single digits. Solutions are clear and faintly yellow at high concentration. Critically, NAD+ is stable in acidic solution and rapidly degraded in alkaline solution, the reverse of the pH preference of many peptides.
Readily exceeds 100 mg/mL; practical limits are set by handling rather than solubility.
Storage
Sealed at -20 °C and rigorously dry. NAD+ is strongly hygroscopic — more so than any peptide in this catalogue — and will draw moisture from room air within minutes of a vial being opened cold. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use promptly. Aqueous NAD+ solutions degrade appreciably faster than peptide solutions of comparable storage conditions.
Short: commonly worked with within 1–2 weeks at 2–8 °C, and prepared fresh where accuracy matters.
Stability
Do not apply peptide-handling intuitions to NAD+. It is a nucleotide, its degradation chemistry is hydrolytic rather than oxidative or proteolytic, and its pH sensitivity runs the opposite direction to several peptides in this catalogue.
Reading the Certificate of Analysis
Note the different detection wavelength: nucleotides are read at 260 nm, not the 214 nm used for peptide bonds. Free nicotinamide content is the most informative impurity figure, since it is the direct hydrolysis product. Water content matters more here than for any peptide, given how hygroscopic the material is.
