Biomarkers included – NAD+ Test
- NADH: NADH (Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is the reduced form of NAD+ and functions as an important electron carrier within cells. NADH is directly involved in the production of ATP, the body’s primary energy source, and supports mitochondrial energy metabolism.
- NADPH: NADPH (Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate) is the reduced form of NADP and plays a critical role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. NADPH supports detoxification, immune function, antioxidant regeneration, and biosynthesis within the body.
- NAD+: NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme found in all living cells and plays a central role in cellular energy production, metabolism, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair. NAD+ helps convert nutrients from food into usable cellular energy and is important for many biological processes related to healthy aging and cellular function.
- NADP+: NADP (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate) is an essential coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and anabolic processes. NADP plays an important role in fatty acid synthesis, steroid production, antioxidant defense, and cellular repair by functioning as an electron carrier in metabolic reactions.
How to prepare – NAD+ Test
Fast for 8-12 hours before sampling. Perform the test in the morning and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours prior. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated for easier blood flow.
Frequently asked questions – NAD+ Test
What is the difference between NAD+ and NADH?
NAD+ is the oxidized form used for energy and repair; NADH is the reduced form. The NAD+ vs NADH ratio determines how efficiently your mitochondria produce energy. High NADH relative to NAD+ can indicate metabolic 'clogging' or reductive stress.
Is a home finger-prick test as accurate as a clinic blood draw?
Yes. Our DBS cards use specialized stabilizing technology that prevents the degradation of these volatile molecules during transit, making this intracellular NAD+ test as reliable as traditional clinic-based venous draws for these specific coenzymes.
Should I fast before taking the test?
For the most accurate baseline mitochondrial function test, it is recommended to perform the test in the morning after an overnight fast (typically 8-12 hours). Avoid intensive exercise 24 hours prior to collection.
How often should I retest?
If you are using the NAD+ test kit to monitor the impact of a new supplement or lifestyle change, retesting every 3 to 6 months is recommended to observe physiological shifts and adjust your protocol.
Customer reviews – NAD+ Test
4.6/5 (5)
- 4/5 — Solid test, everything worked as expected
- 5/5 — Finally a way to see if my NMN supplements are actually working. Results took about two weeks but the data was very detailed.
- 5/5 — Simple to use and the portal is great.
- 4/5 — Clear results delivered right to my phone.
- 5/5 — Fast shipping and the instructions were very easy to follow for the finger prick.
