Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (CAS 53-84-9), commonly abbreviated as NAD, is a coenzyme found in all living cells and produced commercially for use across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biotechnology sectors.

It functions as a critical cofactor in enzymatic reactions and is supplied as an active ingredient where cellular energy metabolism support or biological activity is the target outcome.

In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations, NAD is incorporated into injectable preparations, oral supplements, and IV infusion products targeting cellular health and metabolic support.

Cosmetic formulators use it as an active ingredient in anti-aging serums and premium skincare products, where its antioxidant activity supports formulation claims around skin renewal.

Biotechnology and life sciences manufacturers rely on NAD as a reagent and substrate in enzyme assays, diagnostic kits, and in vitro research applications for various industries.

It also serves as a reference standard and active component in biosensor development and analytical testing workflows, meeting rigorous USP and Ph.Eur. requirements.

NAD is commercially available as a white to off-white lyophilized powder or crystalline solid. It is supplied in research-grade, pharmaceutical-grade, and cosmetic-grade specifications.

Purity levels typically range from 95% to 99%+. Packaging ranges from small-quantity laboratory vials to bulk quantities for industrial formulators and large scale manufacturing.
