Liposomal NAD+

The Core Coenzyme for Cellular Health

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell of the body. It is the central molecule for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin (longevity protein) activation. Human NAD+ levels decline markedly with age—approximately halving every 20 years—forming the scientific rationale behind NAD+ supplementation.

Unlike precursor molecules (NMN, NR) that require enzymatic conversion, liposomal NAD+ delivers the active coenzyme directly, bypassing conversion bottlenecks for the fastest possible onset.

Why Liposomal Delivery Is Essential for NAD+

NAD+ is a large, negatively charged molecule with extremely poor membrane permeability. Conventional oral NAD+ is virtually ineffective—destroyed by stomach acid before it reaches circulation.

Our liposomal platform wraps NAD+ in a phospholipid bilayer vesicle that mimics cell membrane structure. This achieves three critical outcomes:

  • Gastric Protection — shields NAD+ from stomach acid and enzymatic degradation
  • Enhanced Cellular Uptake — fuses with cell membranes for direct intracellular delivery
  • Transdermal Penetration — enables topical NAD+ delivery for cosmeceutical applications

Liposome Structure & Composition

A phospholipid bilayer vesicle engineered at nanoscale to protect and deliver NAD+ directly into cells.

NAD+ NAD+ NAD+ Phospholipid Head Hydrophilic · Outer Lipid Tail Hydrophobic core Inner Head Hydrophilic · Inner NAD+ Payload Aqueous core Particle Size: 80-200 nm

Phospholipid Bilayer

Non-GMO sunflower lecithin

Double-layer membrane mimicking natural cell structure. Hydrophilic heads face outward and inward; hydrophobic tails form the core barrier.

Hydrophobic Barrier

Acid-resistant protection

The lipid tail core blocks gastric acid, enzymes, and oxidation. NAD+ stays intact through stomach transit — no degradation.

Aqueous NAD+ Core

≥98% purity active payload

Water-soluble NAD+ encapsulated in the inner aqueous compartment. Protected from the external environment until membrane fusion releases it intracellularly.

Membrane Fusion Delivery

Direct intracellular uptake

Liposome bilayer fuses with cell membrane, releasing NAD+ directly into the cytoplasm. Bypasses transport protein limitations — no conversion needed.

Production Process

Five-stage GMP manufacturing process ensuring uniform particle size and high encapsulation efficiency.

Thin Film Hydration

Phospholipids dissolved in organic solvent, dried to a thin film under vacuum. NAD+ aqueous solution added for hydration.

Sonication

Probe sonication breaks down multi-lamellar vesicles into uniform small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs), 80-200 nm.

Homogenization

High-pressure homogenization at 20,000 psi ensures narrow particle size distribution (PDI < 0.2) and stability.

Purification & QC

Sterile filtration (0.22 µm), encapsulation efficiency testing (≥92%), particle size verification, and microbial screening.

Lyophilization / Fill

Freeze-drying for powder format or aseptic filling for liquid. Full COA issued with every batch.

Topical Cosmeceutical Applications

The first-ever liposomal NAD+ topical anti-aging study (Curr. Issues Mol. Biol. 2025) demonstrated that liposomal NAD+ (LF-NAD+) enhances transdermal penetration by +30% vs free NAD+.

In both epidermal keratinocytes and dermal microvascular endothelial cells, topical LF-NAD+ significantly reduced senescence markers p16 and p21, lowered senescent cell accumulation, and protected the skin microvasculature—key factors for improving skin tone, firmness, and nutrient delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Liposomal NAD+ is NAD+ encapsulated within phospholipid bilayer vesicles (liposomes). Unlike conventional NAD+ powder or tablets—largely destroyed by stomach acid—the liposomal form protects the molecule through the GI tract and enhances cellular delivery via membrane fusion. Clinical data shows 1.52× higher human bioavailability vs conventional NAD+.
NMN and NR are NAD+ precursors requiring enzymatic conversion. Liposomal NAD+ provides the active coenzyme directly for the fastest onset. A 2026 Nature Metabolism study showed both NR and NMN approximately double blood NAD+ after 14 days. Liposomal NAD+ offers a complementary “direct” route and is the only form with clinical human bioavailability data for the NAD+ molecule itself.
Yes. A 2025 peer-reviewed study demonstrated +30% enhanced transdermal penetration with liposomal NAD+, alongside significant reductions in senescence markers (p16, p21) in both epidermal and dermal layers. Liposomal delivery solves the three major challenges for topical NAD+: water solubility, stability, and transdermal penetration.
