Nicotinamide Riboside

Meaning

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a unique, naturally occurring form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that serves as a precursor to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential coenzyme for cellular metabolism and signaling. Clinically, it is investigated for its potential role in boosting cellular NAD+ levels, which decline with age, thereby supporting mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and overall cellular longevity. This nutrient represents a targeted approach to supporting metabolic and hormonal health at a foundational cellular level.
