What NAD+ is

NAD+ is not a peptide. It is a coenzyme built from two nucleotides, present in every living cell, where it carries electrons in the reactions that release energy from food. It has a page here because it is the single most widely stocked product across the listings in this directory. Levels fall with age, which is the premise behind selling it.
