NAD+ and Sermorelin target different goals — NAD+ for NAD+/NADH ratio restoration supporting cellular energy production, Sermorelin for pulsatile GH release via direct GHRH receptor agonism at the pituitary. They're compared here for reference, not as direct substitutes.

NAD+ and Sermorelin target different goals — NAD+ for Longevity & Cellular, Sermorelin for GH / IGF Axis. They're compared here for reference; there isn't a single “better” choice between them.

About NAD+
NAD+ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy metabolism, serving as an electron carrier in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. It is also a required substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1–7) and PARP enzymes, which regulate DNA repair, gene expression, and mitochondrial biogenesis. NAD+ levels decline measurably with age; IV or subcutaneous delivery aims to restore intracellular pools more directly than oral precursors such as NMN or NR.
About Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a synthetic analogue of the first 29 amino acids of endogenous growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It binds to GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating pulsatile GH secretion in a physiological pattern that preserves the natural hypothalamic-pituitary feedback axis — contrasting with direct GH administration. Downstream IGF-1 elevation mediates many of its body composition, tissue-repair, and sleep quality effects.

NAD+
No established clinical contraindications. This is an investigational compound with limited human data and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety in this context. Consult a qualified clinician.
Sermorelin
Under clinical review
Being verified by our medical team before we display contraindications for this peptide.
Sermorelin clinical protocols measure IGF-1 as the primary marker of GH axis response. Fasting glucose and insulin are standard baseline assessments given GH's effect on insulin sensitivity.
Sermorelin
Ipamorelin
Research suggests Sermorelin and Ipamorelin may produce complementary growth hormone release effects when combined. Sermorelin acts as a GHRH analogue via pituitary receptors, while Ipamorelin acts via ghrelin receptors — dual-pathway stimulation studied in GH optimization research.
