The redox coenzyme
01 / What it is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell, central to energy metabolism and cellular-repair research. It is not a peptide but a foundational longevity-research molecule.
02 / Mechanism in the literature
NAD+ is a required cofactor for redox reactions and for enzymes like the sirtuins and PARPs that govern DNA repair and metabolic signaling. Cellular NAD+ levels decline with age, making it a core longevity-research target.
03 / Research context
NAD+ anchors mitochondrial, DNA-repair, and aging research as a central metabolic coenzyme.
04 / Common questions
No — it is a dinucleotide coenzyme. We include it because it is foundational to the longevity research our peptide lines intersect with.
Its cellular levels fall with age, and the repair enzymes that depend on it are central to longevity models.
