- Growth Hormone Secretagogues (MK-677, CJC-1295)
- Activate ghrelin receptor → pulsatile GH release
- High. Complementary energy substrate for anabolic response
- 15–30 min after NAD+
- Excellent stack for recovery and muscle protein synthesis. NAD+ reduces metabolic strain of GH-driven processes
- Tissue Repair Peptides (BPC-157, TB-4)
- Anti-inflammatory signaling + angiogenesis
- High. NAD+ supports ATP-dependent healing cascades
- 20–30 min after NAD+
- Strong synergy. NAD+ doesn't accelerate receptor activation but ensures energy availability for repair execution
- Nootropic Peptides (Cerebrolysin, Dihexa, P21)
- BDNF mimicry + synaptic plasticity enhancement
- High. NAD+ maintains neuronal NAD+/NADH ratio for glutamate recycling
- 15–25 min after NAD+
- Proven combination for neurogenesis support. NAD+ stabilizes energy-intensive dendritic remodeling
- Metabolic Peptides (Tesofensine, AOD-9604)
- Lipolysis activation + thermogenesis
- Moderate. Overlapping metabolic pathways may create redundancy
- Separate dosing by 4–6 hours
- Limited additive benefit. Both target energy metabolism through different but overlapping mechanisms
- Immune Modulators (Thymalin, LL-37)
- Thymic peptide signaling + antimicrobial peptide activity
- High. NAD+ supports immune cell ATP demands
- Effective for immune recovery. NAD+ enhances T-cell proliferation energy requirements
- Sirtuin Activators (Resveratrol analogs)
- SIRT1 activation through NAD+-dependent deacetylation
- Low. Genuine mechanistic redundancy
- Not recommended
- Both compounds activate the same enzymatic pathway. Stacking provides no additional benefit over NAD+ alone
