NAD+ Research Hub — Cellular Energetics & Longevity Studies
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a foundational redox cofactor central to cellular energetics, sirtuin signalling, and DNA-repair pathways. This hub aggregates NAD+ reference material and the precursor literature.
What this hub covers
- Sirtuin (SIRT1–7) cofactor biology
- PARP-mediated DNA-repair signalling
- Age-related NAD+ decline in published cohort studies
- Precursor comparisons: NMN, NR, niacinamide
- Reconstitution and storage

Explore hub →NAD+ research FAQ
- What is NAD+ in a research context?
- NAD+ is a ubiquitous redox cofactor used by enzymes including sirtuins and PARPs, central to cellular energetics, signalling and DNA-repair research.
- How does direct NAD+ differ from NMN or NR?
- NMN and NR are biosynthetic precursors that are converted intracellularly to NAD+. Direct NAD+ research bypasses the precursor-conversion step and is studied for distinct pharmacokinetics.
