Is NAD+ legal in the UK?

Current UK legal status of NAD+ for research purposes, including MHRA framework, what researchers can and cannot do, and how Peptify operates within UK regulations.

UK legal framework for research peptides

NAD+ is legal to purchase in the UK for bona fide research and laboratory use. It is not an MHRA-approved medicine and is not scheduled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. This places it in the broad category of "research chemicals" that may be sold with clear "for research use only" labelling and without making therapeutic claims.

Importantly, this does NOT mean NAD+ is approved for human consumption, for sale as a supplement, or for making health claims. The MHRA actively monitors UK suppliers for non-compliant marketing, and suppliers making medicinal claims (or implying consumer use) can face enforcement action.

What Peptify UK does (and doesn't) do

Peptify sells NAD+ strictly for research use. Every vial is labelled "For Research Use Only" and ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Peptify does not make therapeutic claims, does not provide dosing advice for humans, and does not frame its products as medicines or supplements.

This framing is not just marketing — it is a legal requirement for research-chemical suppliers in the UK. Every research page, product description, and FAQ on peptifyuk.com is written with MHRA and ASA guidance in mind.
