Polaris Peptides NAD+: the 500mg vial explained
Polaris Peptides NAD+ comes as a 500mg freeze-dried vial, over 99% pure by HPLC-MS. Here is what NAD+ is, why aging research focuses on it and how to mix the vial.
What is Polaris Peptides NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It carries electrons in the reactions that turn food into energy, and it’s used up by enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs, which help with DNA repair and gene regulation.
Polaris Peptides NAD+ comes as 500mg of freeze-dried powder in a vacuum-sealed vial. It’s sold for lab research only.
Polaris Peptides NAD+ price and packs
- NAD+ 500mg: from $90
Packs of 2 to 20 vials cut the price by 10% to 30%. At 20 vials, Polaris Peptides NAD+ comes to about $63 a vial.
Why aging research looks at NAD+
Studies in rodents report that NAD+ levels fall with age in several tissues, and raising them, often with precursors such as NMN or nicotinamide riboside, has improved some markers of energy metabolism in older animals. Human studies are smaller and mixed. To read the work, start with this PubMed search for NAD+ and aging.
Polaris Peptides NAD+ with other compounds
NAD+ often sits in the same studies as MOTS-c, a mitochondrial peptide, SS-31, which targets the inner mitochondrial membrane, and Epithalon. All four are in our anti-aging peptides range.
Mixing and storing the 500mg vial
Add sterile bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside of the vial and swirl until it dissolves. 5mL gives 100mg/mL, and 10mL gives 50mg/mL. Keep sealed vials at -20°C. Once mixed, keep the vial in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and use it within 28 days.

How NAD+ works in the cell
NAD+ sits at the center of energy metabolism. In glycolysis and the citric acid cycle it picks up electrons and becomes NADH, which hands them on to the mitochondria to make ATP. It’s then recycled back to NAD+, over and over.
Other enzymes use NAD+ up instead of recycling it. Sirtuins need it to remove acetyl groups from proteins, PARPs use it to repair DNA, and CD38, an enzyme that rises with age, breaks it down. That balance between making and using NAD+ is what aging studies try to measure.
Because it’s used in such large amounts, Polaris Peptides NAD+ comes in a 500mg vial. Most peptide vials hold 5 to 10mg.
Polaris Peptides NAD+ picks at a glance
MOTS-c 10mg
SS-31 25mg
Epithalon 10mgWho orders Polaris Peptides NAD+
NAD+ shows up in more research areas than most compounds in our range. Aging labs use it to look at sirtuins and DNA repair. Metabolism labs use it alongside MOTS-c and SS-31 to study mitochondria. Cell culture groups add it to media to test how cells respond when the NAD+ pool is topped up. Because it’s used in such large amounts, the 500mg vial and the 20-pack are the formats people come back for.
Polaris Peptides NAD+ FAQ
How much is Polaris Peptides NAD+?
NAD+ 500mg is $90 a vial, and packs of up to 20 save up to 30%.
Why does NAD+ come in such a big vial?
NAD+ is a small coenzyme, not a long peptide, and labs use it in much larger amounts than most peptides.
Does NAD+ need special mixing?
No. Add bacteriostatic water slowly and swirl. It dissolves easily, and shaking only adds foam.
Is NAD+ for human use?
Ours is sold for laboratory research only.
