Nicotinamide Riboside
NR (NIAGEN-equivalent) — typical dose 300 mg
We don’t sell Nicotinamide Riboside. Whether you actually need it — and at what dose — depends on your bloodwork. Get your analysis to find out.
What it does
Nicotinamide Riboside is a precursor to NAD+, a cellular co-factor essential for energy production, DNA repair, and metabolic regulation. NAD+ levels decline by roughly 50% between ages 40 and 60. NR is the form with the deepest human trial record for raising blood NAD+ safely. We recommend NR over NMN because the meta-analysed evidence is stronger and the regulatory status more stable.
Key benefits
- NAD+ replenishment
- Cellular energy
- DNA repair support
- Metabolic regulation
The evidence
Multiple human RCTs (Martens 2018, Conze 2019, Elhassan 2019) confirm NR safely raises blood NAD+ levels in older adults. Longevity endpoints unproven in humans, but the mechanism is well-supported.
