Guide · NAD+
NAD+ (NAD plus): a research reagent guide for Canada
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and also written NAD plus, is a coenzyme: a small molecule built from two nucleotides, not a chain of amino acids. We list it beside our peptides because it is supplied the same way, from Calgary, as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research, with its own batch record.
The name and how it is written
NAD+ is the name of the oxidised form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; the plus sign marks that form. Listings write it NAD+, NAD plus or simply NAD. Whichever name a listing uses, it should say which material it is by its identifiers, such as the CAS number and the formula.
The identifiers our listing records, where it records them, are on its product page, beside the batch record.
How NAD+ is sold here
We supply NAD+ as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research, and only as that. It is not sold here as a drug, a natural health product, a food or a cosmetic, and it is not for human or veterinary use.
A listing that makes claims about NAD+ in a person is not describing a laboratory reagent, whatever its label says.
What an NAD+ batch record should show
A lot number that matches the one on the vial label. A certificate for another batch says little about yours.
The laboratory’s name, and the date it ran the test.
A purity figure, with the technique that produced it.
A test of which compound is in the vial, such as mass spectrometry, where the laboratory ran one. A purity figure says how much of the sample is one compound, not which compound it is.
The amount measured in the vial, against the amount on the label.
The material named as NAD+ on the record, as it is on the vial label, so the two describe the same material.
NAD+ at Peptide Confidential
We list NAD+ from Calgary, Alberta, as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research. Each pack size has its own page, with its price in Canadian dollars, whether it can be ordered now, and the batch record behind it. When a pack size is out of stock, its page offers one email when it can be ordered again.
Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory before it is released, and its record stays public on the lab reports page. A batch that did not pass is on the same page, marked rejected with the reason, and is never sold.
Ordering and shipping in Canada
Every order is priced and charged in Canadian dollars, and your shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay. Pay by card, in cryptocurrency, or by Interac e-Transfer for an order shipped within Canada. At checkout you confirm that the order is for laboratory research use only.
Orders ship from Calgary, Alberta. Parcels within Canada go Canada Post Xpresspost, tracked, in a plain carton with no product name on the outside. We aim to dispatch orders the same business day when payment is confirmed before 1 p.m. Mountain Time, Monday to Friday. Same-day dispatch is our aim, not a guarantee. Delivery estimates are in the shipping policy, and the guide to research peptides in Canada sets out how ordering works, step by step.
Questions
What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, in its oxidised form: a coenzyme built from two nucleotides, also written NAD plus. We supply it as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research.
Why is NAD+ listed with peptides?
Because it is supplied the same way: as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research, from Calgary, with its own batch record. It is not itself a peptide.
Does NMN turn into NAD+?
NMN, short for nicotinamide mononucleotide, is a related but different molecule. NAD+ is built from two nucleotides, one of which is the nicotinamide nucleotide that, on its own, is NMN, and the research literature describes NMN as a precursor of NAD+. We list NAD+ itself, as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research, not NMN. See what NAD+ is.
Is NAD+ available in Canada?
As a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research, yes. Peptide Confidential lists NAD+ from Calgary, with a published report from an independent laboratory for every batch on sale. Whether a pack size can be ordered now is shown on its product page.
How do I check the batch behind my vial?
Open the code printed on the vial label. It leads to the batch record: the figures copied from the laboratory’s document, the test date, the laboratory’s name and, where it is published, a link to the document itself. The lot number on the label must match the lot number on the record. See Can I check a lab report myself?
How quickly does an order ship within Canada?
We aim to dispatch orders the same business day when payment is confirmed before 1 p.m. Mountain Time, Monday to Friday. Later payments, weekends and holidays ship the next business day. Delivery estimates are in the shipping policy.
Do you sell NAD+ for use in people or animals?
No. We supply NAD+ as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro research. It is not sold here as a drug, a natural health product, a food or a cosmetic, and it is not for human or veterinary use.
Do you advise on using NAD+?
No. We supply laboratory reagents, and we help with orders, shipping, batch records and certificates. We do not answer questions about use in people or animals.
