Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a form of Vitamin B3 that the body converts into NAD+, a coenzyme essential for mitochondrial energy production and involved in DNA repair pathways associated with cellular aging.
Clinical Summary
Clinical studies show that NR supplementation reliably raises blood NAD+ levels; downstream effects on longevity biomarkers are still an active area of research in humans.
Dosage Guidelines
250mg to 300mg daily, commonly taken with breakfast.
Safety & Side Effects
Generally well tolerated. Mild nausea, headache, or fatigue have been reported in a minority of users.
Known Interactions
No major known drug interactions have been established; individuals with cancer history should discuss NAD+-boosting supplements with a physician given NAD+'s role in cellular proliferation pathways.
