NAD+

Also known as: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

Human evidenceEvidence grade B: Human evidence

Grade describes the published research on the molecule. It is not a quality score, a safety score, or a release state.

What this is

A ubiquitous redox cofactor. Direct intravenous human research is limited in scope.

Evidence position

Grade B, with prominent limitations. The available human work is pharmacokinetic and metabolic, not broad efficacy. No energy, anti-ageing or disease claim is supportable.

What the record does not establish

Published research about a molecule is not a test of any particular vial. Identity, purity, strength and microbiological quality are established by lot-level analytical records tied to a matched sample — not by the literature, and not by the presence of an approved comparator.

Where a lot-level record exists it is published on the evidence page and linked from the product. Where it does not exist, the record says so.

LIVE DATABASE INDEX / SEPARATE FROM CURATED EVIDENCE

Records below come directly from public scientific databases. They help find relevant material, but do not affect the evidence grade until they are matched to the molecule and added to the curated source list.
