Chemical identity (opened registries only)
SRP product and index pages do not print CAS, UNII, PubChem CID, molecular formula, salt form, hydrate vs anhydrous, or a public COA. Identity below is taken only from opened public registries and from primary papers that name NAD+ / NAD / nadide / nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide / β-NAD+ / coenzyme I.

Not printed on either opened product page and therefore not claimed as SRP-verified: CAS; UNII; CID; formula; InChIKey; free acid vs lithium salt vs hydrate; a public COA file; a published laboratory amount.
Opened SRP index card (compound-research-guides / local 1674.html snapshot, 16 August 2026): “NAD+ (1000 mg Vial)” and “NAD+ (500 mg Vial)” under Metabolic; both tagged Evidence profile (not “Dedicated evidence guide”); both link to #nad-plus and to the product URLs above. Evidence-profile block title NAD+; house tier Established biology; intervention-specific gaps; class Cellular-metabolism research. Overview: “Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme in redox metabolism and a substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs. It is not a peptide.” Mechanism: “NAD+/NADH couples support energy metabolism, while NAD+-consuming enzymes connect the molecule to DNA repair, stress responses, and signaling.” Evidence: “The biology is extensive, but evidence for a particular exogenous NAD+ formulation, route, or claimed outcome must be evaluated separately. Precursor studies are not automatically evidence for NAD+ itself.” Quality note: “State the exact molecular form, assay purity, and stability. Do not merge evidence for NR, NMN, niacin, and NAD+.” Last editorial review printed on that index: August 2026.

Critical identity point. CID 5892 / UNII 0U46U6E8UK is the oxidized dinucleotide (NAD+ / nadide). NADH is a different molecule (CID 439153; CAS 58-68-4; UNII 4J24DQ0916; formula C21H29N7O14P2; MW 665.4; InChIKey BOPGDPNILDQYTO-NNYOXOHSSA-N). An SRP “NAD+ 500 mg” or “1000 mg” lot is not automatically NADH, not a lithium salt, not a hydrate, and not a precursor vitamin. Confirm oxidized vs reduced form, salt, hydrate, and purity on a COA / LC-MS / NMR.
Registry chaos that must not be collapsed.
- PubChem CID 5892 depositor synonyms include “beta-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced.” That string sits on the oxidized CID. It is nomenclature noise, not identity. NADH is CID 439153.
- PubChem synonyms also include “NAD Lithium salt” and several hydrate catalog strings. Those sit on the free / inner-salt CID. They do not prove the SRP counter-ion or hydration state.
- Additional CAS RNs 64417-72-7, 4090-29-3, and 477981-33-2 appear on CID 5892. Only 53-84-9 is treated as the primary opened CAS (first synonym CAS + NCATS primary). The extras were not opened as separate substances.
- NCATS UNII 0U46U6E8UK is titled NADIDE and prints the NAD+ formula / InChIKey, but the prose block on that page conflates NADIDE with Enada (NADH) (“NADIDE (NADH)”, “Enada by Birkmayer”, “First approved in 2010”, oral 2.5–5 mg Enada language, chronic-fatigue / Parkinson claims). Enada is a NADH synonym on CID 439153, not proof that NAD+ is an approved drug. That NCATS marketing/prose block is unused as NAD+ approval, unused as NADH identity for this SKU, and unused as a dose. NCATS structure data (formula, InChIKey, CAS 53-84-9, UNII) remain usable.
- ClinicalTrials.gov
NAD+/nadide/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotideis a lexical collision (totalCount 261). Hits include Niagen / NR trials (example: NCT03482167 intervention is Niagen®, not NAD+), NMN trials, and unrelated “NAD” substrings. Unused as a trial census. - IUPHAR ligand 2451 is NAD (metabolite, not approved). Do not invent a peptide ligand.

How NAD+ is not NADH, not NR, not NMN, not niacin, and not nicotinamide
Catalog “Cellular Health / Metabolic / longevity” language does not convert a research dinucleotide into a precursor vitamin, a reduced cofactor, or a peptide.
| Identity | What opened sources actually describe | Peptide? | Typical literature role |
|---|---|---|---|
| NAD+ / nadide (this page) | Oxidized dinucleotide; CID 5892; CAS 53-84-9; UNII 0U46U6E8UK; C21H27N7O14P2; MW 663.4; InChIKey BAWFJGJZGIEFAR-NNYOXOHSSA-N; IUPHAR 2451; approved: false | No (coenzyme) | Redox cofactor and substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, CD38. Extensive cell/animal biology. Sparse direct human administration data. Not an approved drug on opened pages. |
| NADH (reduced form) | CID 439153; CAS 58-68-4; UNII 4J24DQ0916; C21H29N7O14P2; MW 665.4; InChIKey BOPGDPNILDQYTO-NNYOXOHSSA-N; synonyms DPNH, ENADA, reduced NAD | No | Two-electron-reduced partner of the NAD+/NADH couple. Different molecule. Enada marketing on the NCATS NADIDE page is NADH, not this SKU. |
| Nicotinamide riboside (NR) | CID 439924; CAS 1341-23-7; UNII 0I8H2M0L7N; C11H15N2O5+; MW 255.25; InChIKey JLEBZPBDRKPWTD-TURQNECASA-O; synonyms Niagen, TruNiagen | No (nucleoside) | Oral NAD+ precursor vitamin. Human PK: Trammell 2016 PMID 27721479; Airhart 2017 PMID 29211728. Not NAD+. |
| Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) | CID 14180; CAS 1094-61-7; UNII 2KG6QX4W0V; C11H15N2O8P; MW 334.22; InChIKey DAYLJWODMCOQEW-TURQNECASA-N | No (nucleotide) | NAD+ precursor. Human NMN trial: Yoshino 2021 PMID 33888596. Review: Yoshino 2018 PMID 29249689. Not NAD+. |
| Niacin / nicotinic acid | CID 938; CAS 59-67-6; UNII 2679MF687A; C6H5NO2; MW 123.11; InChIKey PVNIIMVLHYAWGP-UHFFFAOYSA-N; Niaspan / Niacor | No (vitamin B3 acid) | Classic NAD+ precursor vitamin; approved niacin drug products exist for niacin, not for NAD+. Bogan & Brenner 2008 PMID 18429699. Not this vial. |

| MOTS-c / SS-31 / other SRP peptides | Separate SRP listings and (where they exist) dedicated peptide guides | Yes (different class) | Do not cite peptide papers as NAD+ evidence. |
The 500 mg vial is not the 1000 mg vial. Two SRP SKUs. Same research name. No opened paper tested an SRP lot.
NAD+ is not a peptide. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme. The SRP index states this explicitly. Do not file it with peptide bioregulators.
NAD+ is not NADH. One hydride / two electrons and two protons of mass separate them (663.4 vs 665.4; InChIKeys share the stereo suffix NNYOXOHSSA-N but have different first blocks: BAWFJGJZGIEFAR vs BOPGDPNILDQYTO). NCATS/Enada prose that writes “NADIDE (NADH)” is a registry error, not chemistry.
NAD+ is not NR, NMN, niacin, or nicotinamide. Those are biosynthetic precursors (or, for nicotinamide, also a product of NAD+-consuming enzymes). Yoshino 2018 (PMID 29249689) and Bogan & Brenner 2008 (PMID 18429699) exist to keep those streams apart. Grant 2019 (PMID 31572171) states that precursor data (example: NR raising plasma NAD+) are not a substitute for measuring infused NAD+ itself.
Do not equate this vial with NADH, Enada, NR / Niagen, NMN, niacin / Niaspan, nicotinamide, tryptophan, MOTS-c, or an FDA-approved metabolic drug. Research use only.

Proposed mechanism (labeled as such)
Opened reviews support a redox-coenzyme plus NAD+-consuming-enzyme working model. It is not a treatment claim. It was not generated with an SRP 500 mg or 1000 mg vial. Observed means a measurement in an opened paper. Proposed means a hypothesis. Not shown means the opened papers did not establish it for a research-market lot.
Observed — redox cofactor and NAD+-consuming enzymes (reviews) Covarrubias, Perrone, Grozio and Verdin 2021 (PMID 33353981; PMC 7963035; *Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol*) open: NAD+ is a coenzyme for redox reactions and an essential cofactor for non-redox NAD+-dependent enzymes, including sirtuins, CD38, and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases. It can influence metabolic pathways, DNA repair, chromatin remodelling, cellular senescence, and immune-cell function. Ageing is recognised as accompanied by a gradual decline in tissue and cellular NAD+ in rodents and humans; the authors link that decline to ageing-associated conditions and state that “much remains to be learnt” about how to restore NAD+ safely in ageing humans. Review language that “many of these ageing-associated diseases can be slowed down and even reversed by restoring NAD+ levels” is review opinion / preclinical synthesis, not an approval and not a finding for this vial.
Canto, Menzies and Auwerx 2015 (PMID 26118927; PMC 4487780) review NAD+ as a cofactor that can rewire metabolism, activate sirtuins, and maintain mitochondrial fitness. Imai and Guarente 2014 (PMID 24786309; PMC 4112140) review NAD+ as both a redox coenzyme and a substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38/157, with NAMPT-mediated biosynthesis coupled to SIRT1. Chini, Zeidler, Kashyap, Warner and Chini 2021 (PMID 33930322; PMC 8172449) add that NAD pathway metabolites also participate in signaling, post-translational modification, epigenetics, and NAD-capping of RNA, and that NAD half-life can be on the order of minutes in some tissues. Migaud, Ziegler and Baur 2024 (PMID 39026037; PMC 12456757) review regulation and challenges in targeting NAD+ metabolism, including “limitations of, assumptions about and unappreciated factors that might influence the success or contribute to risks of NAD+ supplementation.”
Observed — CD38 as an age-linked NAD+ consumer (mice) Camacho-Pereira et al. 2016 (PMID 27304511; PMC 4911708; *Cell Metab*) report that CD38 expression and NADase activity increase with aging in mice, that CD38 is required for age-related NAD decline and mitochondrial dysfunction via a pathway mediated at least in part by SIRT3, and that CD38 is the main enzyme degrading the precursor NMN in vivo. Mouse enzymology. Not a human CD38-drug trial. Not this vial.
Observed — direct intravenous NAD+ changes the human NAD+ metabolome (pilot, not a protocol) Grant, Berg, Mestayer, Braidy, Bennett, Broom and Watson 2019 (PMID 31572171; PMC 6751327; *Front Aging Neurosci*) is the opened human paper that actually infuses NAD+ itself. Abstract: no published human data then existed on the fate of directly infused NAD+ (as opposed to NR). The study documented plasma and urine NAD+ and metabolites during and after a 6 h intravenous infusion at 3 μmol/min. No change in plasma NAD+ or listed metabolites (nicotinamide, methylnicotinamide, ADPR, NMN) until after 2 h; increased urinary methylnicotinamide and NAD+ at 6 h; no significant rise in urinary nicotinamide. Authors conclude that at that infusion rate NAD+ is rapidly and completely removed from plasma for at least the first 2 h; the metabolite profile is consistent with NAD+ glycohydrolase and NAD+ pyrophosphatase activity; urinary products include NAD+ itself and meNAM but not NAM. This is a 2019 pilot metabolome study. The printed infusion rate is a study condition, not a reconstitution or administration protocol for an SRP vial.
Observed — precursor vitamins raise NAD+ by a different route (distinction, not this SKU) Bogan and Brenner 2008 (PMID 18429699) evaluate nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, and nicotinamide riboside as distinct NAD+ precursor vitamins. Yoshino, Baur and Imai 2018 (PMID 29249689; PMC 5842119) review NMN and NR as key intermediates with tissue-specific fates. Trammell et al. 2016 (PMID 27721479; PMC 5062546) report oral NR is bioavailable in mice and humans and raises the blood NAD+ metabolome. Airhart et al. 2017 (PMID 29211728; PMC 5718430) is an open-label NR PK study. Yoshino et al. 2021 (PMID 33888596; PMC 8550608) is a 10-week randomized NMN trial in postmenopausal women with prediabetes. These papers are precursor evidence. They are not evidence that an SRP NAD+ vial is orally bioavailable, and they are not NAD+ infusion data.
Not shown / do not infer
- That an SRP 500 mg or 1000 mg lyophilized lot is chemically identical to the Grant 2019 infusate.
- That precursor (NR / NMN / niacin / nicotinamide) human outcomes transfer to exogenous NAD+.
- That NCATS “approved 2010 / Enada” language is an FDA approval of NAD+.
- A completed human efficacy, safety, or aging-indication package for NAD+ as a drug.
- Oral bioavailability of intact NAD+ in humans (Grant 2019 is intravenous and reports rapid plasma clearance).
- Any reconstitution, injection, or infusion method for this SKU.
Mechanism in one line. Oxidized dinucleotide coenzyme for redox metabolism and substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38; tissue NAD+ declines with age in opened reviews; direct human infusion data are a single opened pilot metabolome study. Not a treatment claim. Not for human use.

Human / NCT snapshot. One opened published direct-NAD+ human metabolome pilot (PMID 31572171, no NCT on that record). Three opened registrations that name NAD+ or Coenzyme I (NCT07328100, NCT06558253, NCT06919328), none with results. Do not invent additional administration NCTs. Do not treat NR/NMN NCTs as NAD+ trials.

Gaps in the opened record
These are gaps. Treating any of them as settled is incorrect.
- No completed human efficacy package for exogenous NAD+ as a drug. Grant 2019 is a metabolome pilot. The three opened NCTs have no results.
- No proof the SRP vial is CID 5892 inner-salt NAD+. CAS, UNII, salt, hydrate, and a public COA were not printed. PubChem lists lithium-salt and hydrate catalog strings on the same CID.
- No FDA-approved therapeutic use of NAD+ / nadide. openFDA
nadide404. IUPHARapproved: false. NCATS “2010 / Enada” prose is NADH conflation. - Precursor outcomes are not NAD+ outcomes. NR, NMN, niacin, and nicotinamide papers do not validate this vial.
- NADH / Enada findings are not NAD+. Different CID, CAS, UNII, formula, and InChIKey.
- Oral intact-NAD+ bioavailability in humans is not shown on the opened Grant record (IV; rapid plasma removal).
- Aging, addiction, cognitive, or metabolic treatment claims for a research-market vial are not established.
- No opened PK, chronic toxicology, carcinogenicity, or reproductive-tox package for an SRP 500 mg or 1000 mg vial. Historical infusion rates and precursor oral amounts are not instructions.
| Popular claim | Status after this review |
|---|---|
| “NAD+ is a peptide” | False. Dinucleotide coenzyme. SRP index states this. |
| “NAD+ is the same as NADH / Enada” | False identity. CID 5892 vs 439153. NCATS Enada prose is a conflation. |
| “NAD+, NR, NMN, and niacin are interchangeable evidence” | False. Different molecules; SRP index: do not merge. |
| “Exogenous NAD+ is an approved anti-aging drug” | False on opened IUPHAR / openFDA / CT.gov pages. |
| “Grant 2019 proves a human therapeutic protocol” | False. Pilot metabolome study. Not a protocol. |
| “NCT07328100 / NCT06558253 / NCT06919328 prove safety or efficacy” | False. Registration only; no results. |
| “The SRP 500 mg or 1000 mg vial is the Grant 2019 infusate” | Not established. Identity and salt not printed. |
| “NCATS first-approved-2010 means FDA approved NAD+” | False reading. That prose is Enada/NADH marketing on the NADIDE record. |
| “Injectable NAD+ is FDA-approved” | False on opened openFDA / IUPHAR / CT.gov pages. |

Lab caution
NAD+ is an investigational laboratory research coenzyme. It is not an FDA-approved drug for human use. This page is educational. It does not provide dosing, reconstitution, administration, or any human-use instructions. The 500 mg and 1000 mg masses are vendor listings, not published laboratory protocols.
Simple Research Peptides (SRP) materials are for laboratory research only and are not for human or veterinary use, consumption, administration, diagnosis, treatment, or therapeutic application.
Laboratory identity is the first practical issue. Opened registries describe NAD+ / nadide as CID 5892 / CAS 53-84-9 / UNII 0U46U6E8UK / C21H27N7O14P2 / InChIKey BAWFJGJZGIEFAR-NNYOXOHSSA-N; IUPHAR ligand 2451, not approved. SRP product pages do not print CAS, UNII, salt, hydrate, or a public COA. A method written for NADH, NR, NMN, niacin, nicotinamide, or a peptide is not automatically valid for this vial.
Confirm oxidized vs reduced form (NAD+ vs NADH), salt, hydration state, and purity by LC-MS / NMR / enzymatic assay before treating a vial as the literature article. Independently sourced research material is not established as equivalent to the Grant 2019 infusate. Historical intravenous infusion rates and oral precursor amounts are study conditions from those papers. They are not a reconstitution scheme.
The opened 500 mg product page contains human-use reconstitution and injection copy. That copy is not adopted here.
No reconstitution scheme, no administration route, and no human or veterinary use protocol appears on this page. Research use only.

FAQ
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). The opened SRP index states: “It is not a peptide.”
Is NAD+ the same as NADH?
No. NAD+ is the oxidized form (CID 5892; CAS 53-84-9; UNII 0U46U6E8UK; C21H27N7O14P2; MW 663.4). NADH is the reduced form (CID 439153; CAS 58-68-4; UNII 4J24DQ0916; C21H29N7O14P2; MW 665.4). Enada is a NADH synonym, not this SKU.
Is NAD+ the same as nicotinamide riboside (NR / Niagen)?
No. NR is CID 439924; CAS 1341-23-7; UNII 0I8H2M0L7N. It is a precursor nucleoside. Trammell 2016 and Airhart 2017 are NR papers.
Is NAD+ the same as NMN?
No. NMN is CID 14180; CAS 1094-61-7; UNII 2KG6QX4W0V. Yoshino 2021 is an NMN trial.
Is NAD+ the same as niacin or nicotinamide?
No. Niacin / nicotinic acid is CID 938; CAS 59-67-6; UNII 2679MF687A. Nicotinamide / niacinamide is CID 936; CAS 98-92-0; UNII 25X51I8RD4. Both are precursor vitamins, not the dinucleotide.
Why does NCATS say NADIDE was approved in 2010?
The opened NCATS page for UNII 0U46U6E8UK is chemically NAD+ (matching formula and InChIKey) but its prose block discusses Enada (NADH). That is a registry conflation. openFDA nadide returned 404. IUPHAR approved is false. This page does not treat NAD+ as an approved drug.
Is the SRP vial the same as the Grant 2019 material?
Not established. CAS, salt, and a public COA are not printed. Confirm on a COA / LC-MS.
Is there a UNII or NCT?
Yes, opened: UNII 0U46U6E8UK. Published direct-NAD+ human paper: PMID 31572171 (no NCT on that record). Opened administration registrations: NCT07328100, NCT06558253, NCT06919328 (no results). Broad NAD+ CT.gov counts are lexical noise.
Is NAD+ FDA-approved?
No opened approval for NAD+ / nadide as a drug. IUPHAR approved: false. openFDA nadide: 404.
Do NR / NMN trials count as NAD+ evidence?
No. The SRP index: “Do not merge evidence for NR, NMN, niacin, and NAD+.” Precursor studies are not automatically evidence for NAD+ itself.
Does Grant 2019 or any NCT mean NAD+ is safe or effective as a consumer injectable?
No. Grant 2019 is a pilot metabolome study. The opened NCTs have no results. Registration is not evidence of safety, efficacy, or FDA endorsement.
Can these findings be used as dosing or administration instructions?
No. SRP listings are for laboratory research only and are not for human or animal use. This page does not provide reconstitution, administration, or dosing instructions.
Does this page include human dosing?
No. There is no human dosing, reconstitution, or administration protocol on this page. Research use only. Not medical advice. Not for human use.
