Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. This dinucleotide compound consists of two nucleotides joined through phosphate groups, with one containing an adenine base and the other nicotinamide. NAD exists in oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms.
NAD is essential for natural cell repair processes. As NAD levels decline with age, the body's repair system weakens. Supplementation can help maintain NAD levels, promoting energy, healthier skin, and improved cellular function.
As a dietary supplement, take 125mg to 250mg daily with meals, or as directed by a physician. Do not exceed recommended dosage. NAD powder can be mixed with yogurt or water, taken raw, or used sublingually.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a water-soluble vitamin appearing as white crystalline powder, odorless or nearly odorless with bitter taste. It's freely soluble in water or ethanol and dissolvable in glycerin.
NAD is easily absorbed orally and widely distributed in the body, with excess quickly excreted in urine. As part of coenzymes I and II, it plays a crucial role in biological oxidation processes and tissue metabolism, particularly for skin, digestive tract, and nervous system maintenance.
Additionally, NAD helps prevent and treat heart block, improves sinus node function, and counters experimental arrhythmias.
