Good vs Bad NAD+

High quality NAD+ in solution is colourless, like water, but as it degrades, it takes on a yellow colour that darkens as it breaks down (scroll down to see examples).

NAD+ breaks down when it gets too warm or is exposed to air (which is why it should be keep between 2-8 decrees Celsius) but doesnt just become inert… it decomposes into nicotinamide and ADP-ribose, both of which can be harmful. This means that, not only are you not benefitting from NAD+ supplementation if you take degraded NAD+, you can also cause yourself harm!

Nicotinamide, in high concentrations, can inhibit sirtuins, which are enzymes involved in cellular regulation, including aging and stress resistance (https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/4/2092) and…

ADP-ribose: This molecule is involved in various cellular processes, including DNA repair. While not inherently harmful, and used in several biological functions, its accumulation can affect cellular functions including triggering early cell death.

ALWAYS do a visual check to make sure that your NAD+ is clear and high quality before administering

That’s why VAION NAD+ ALWAYS comes in a clear vial… for your safety!
