Looking to buy NAD+ for research in the UK? This guide explains what to consider when selecting a research supplier, including product quality, purity, Certificates of Analysis and laboratory testing.
For researchers and laboratories in the UK sourcing NAD+, product quality and supplier transparency matter enormously. This guide outlines what to look for when evaluating a research chemical supplier.
Certificate of Analysis (COA)
A reputable supplier should provide a COA for each batch, ideally from independent, third-party laboratory testing. This document confirms purity levels and helps verify that the product matches its labelled specification.
Clear Labelling and Compliance
Legitimate UK suppliers clearly label products as "for research use only, not for human or veterinary consumption," in line with expectations around unlicensed research chemicals. Be cautious of any supplier making implicit or explicit claims about health benefits, dosing for personal use, or therapeutic effects — this is inconsistent with MHRA regulations around unlicensed products.
Storage and Handling Information
NAD+ degrades under poor storage conditions. A quality supplier will specify appropriate storage temperatures and shipping methods (such as cold-chain delivery) to preserve compound integrity in transit.
Reputation and Track Record
Look for suppliers with an established relationship with universities, research institutions, or laboratories, as well as transparent contact information and responsive customer support for research-related queries.
FlexPeptides' Approach
FlexPeptides supplies NAD+ and related research compounds with batch-specific COAs, appropriate storage guidance, and clear "research use only" labelling, in support of legitimate scientific work.
Disclaimer
This guide is intended to help researchers evaluate suppliers for legitimate scientific use only. FlexPeptides does not sell NAD+ or any research compound for human consumption, and none of the products discussed are licensed medicines under MHRA regulation.
