NAD+

Half-life: ~8 hours (est.)

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme central to cellular energy production. Every cell in the body uses it to convert food into ATP, the molecule that powers metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. NAD+ levels fall sharply with age — by roughly 50% between 40 and 60 — which researchers…

How it works

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier in redox reactions — it accepts electrons during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, then donates them to drive ATP synthesis. Beyond energy, it is the required substrate for sirtuins (which regulate gene expression), PARPs (which repair DNA damage), and CD38 (immune modulation). Exogenous NAD+ can bypass age-related declines in its natural biosynthesis pathways.

Dosage and administration

Research protocols vary widely. Subcutaneous injections typically use 50–100 mg per dose once daily for 10–30 days, then cycle. Intravenous infusions of 250–500 mg over several hours are also reported in private clinics. Start low (25 mg) and titrate — flushing and nausea are common at higher doses and can be mitigated by slower administration.
