This page is about NAD+ as a research material: which pack sizes we list, what each costs in euros, and what that works out to per milligram. If you are looking to buy NAD+ and have the parcel sent to the United Kingdom or Ireland, the table below sets the vial, bundle, pen and nasal kit side by side, together with the neighbouring MOTS-c and 5-Amino-1MQ items. After it come the chemistry, the neighbouring compounds, and how a lyophilised vial is handled. Everything here is offered for laboratory and research purposes; NAD+ is neither a medicine nor a food supplement, and we make no statement about what anyone would observe with it.
Price and packaging
Prices on the site are in euros. The last column is the price per milligram, worked out from the listed price and the pack size. Where the pack size is not fixed in milligrams, the column is blank.
| Item | Pack | Price | Price per mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| NAD+ vial | 1000 mg | € 119,95 | € 0,12 |
| NAD+ bundle | 3 × 1000 mg | € 269,95 | € 0,09 |
| NAD+ pen | 500 mg | € 149,95 | € 0,30 |
| NAD+ nasal spray kit | kit | € 129,95 | |
| NAD+ with MOTS-c and 5-Amino-1MQ | 120 mg combined | € 89,95 | not applicable, three substances |
| MOTS-c vial | 40 mg | € 109,95 | € 2,75 |
| MOTS-c pen | 40 mg | € 139,95 | € 3,50 |
| 5-Amino-1MQ vial | 50 mg | € 84,95 | € 1,70 |
| 5-Amino-1MQ oral | 50 mg | € 100,95 | € 2,02 |
The bundle of three 1000 mg vials at € 269,95 works out at € 0,09 per milligram, against € 0,12 for a single vial at € 119,95. The pen runs the other way, since € 149,95 for 500 mg is € 0,30 per milligram. The MOTS-c pair shows the same pattern, € 2,75 per milligram in the vial against € 3,50 in the pen. A bigger number on the label does not by itself make a pack cheaper per milligram.
What NAD+ is
NAD+ is the oxidised form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, also written as beta-NAD or plain NAD. Its CAS number as the free acid is 53-84-9, the molecular formula is C21H27N7O14P2 and the molar mass is about 663.4 g/mol. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme, so despite sitting among peptides in the shop it is not a peptide and carries no amino acid sequence.
The molecule is two nucleotides joined through a pyrophosphate bridge: one half carries an adenine base on a ribose ring, the other nicotinamide on a second ribose. The plus sign is not decoration. It marks the positive charge on the quaternary nitrogen of that nicotinamide ring in the oxidised state. The ring is where the redox chemistry sits, and it is what separates NAD+ from NADH, the hydride carrying counterpart of the same pair.
In the literature NAD+ appears alongside the salvage pathway precursors nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide, separate substances that are not interchangeable with it milligram for milligram. The powder is hygroscopic and is kept dry and cold as a matter of routine.
Where it sits in the catalogue
NAD+ is filed under longevity research beside two compounds that are chemically nothing like it. MOTS-c is a peptide of sixteen amino acids encoded in the mitochondrial genome rather than in nuclear DNA; the formats are compared on buy MOTS-c. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small quinolinium salt discussed in connection with nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, neither peptide nor nucleotide.
All three appear in one item, the NAD+ with MOTS-c and 5-Amino-1MQ blend, a single vial holding 120 mg of combined material. That is a grouping by research field, not a statement about how the three relate. The wider catalogue overview sits on buy peptides.
Form, handling and storage
Vial, bundle and pen cartridge hold lyophilised powder. Add bacteriostatic water slowly, letting it run down the inside wall of the vial rather than landing on the cake, then swirl gently until the cake has dissolved. Shaking is unnecessary and foams the solution. How much water goes in decides the concentration; the peptide calculator does that arithmetic. An unopened vial keeps at room temperature away from light. Once reconstituted, the material belongs in the fridge and not the freezer.
The oral 5-Amino-1MQ is listed in oral form and asks for nothing more than a dry, dark place. The nasal kit pairs the lyophilised material with the spray bottle it belongs in, so the solution is made up at the bench rather than arriving ready mixed.
Shipping and analysis
Every order leaves from the Netherlands. To the United Kingdom the rate is a flat € 15,95, free from € 200. To Ireland it is a flat € 14,95, also free from € 200.
The United Kingdom is not in the European Union, so a parcel from the Netherlands to a British address is an import. Any import VAT or duty is charged by the carrier to the recipient and falls outside the euro price shown here. Ireland is inside the European Union, so no import charge of that kind arises. Each batch is analysed and a certificate of analysis is available for it.
Frequently asked questions
What may I use this for?
Laboratory and research purposes only. It is not for human or veterinary use, and no dosing advice is given.
What does the plus sign in NAD+ mean?
It marks the positive charge on the nicotinamide ring nitrogen in the oxidised form. NADH is the same molecule carrying a hydride on that ring.
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme, C21H27N7O14P2, with no amino acids in it.
What happens with customs on a British order?
The parcel is an import into the United Kingdom, and the carrier collects any import VAT or duty from the recipient. Irish orders stay inside the European Union and carry no such charge.
For laboratory and research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
