If you have your circuit designed for AC (bridge rectifier + caps + regulator)
You can supply it with DC,
and you do not even have to care about the polarity of your DC supply
or voltage (AC or DC) as long as it is within the specs of your regulator

How do you ensure a clean and stable supply voltage of an AC powered circuit with only a bridge and no regulator?
