Ingredient Science
Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NR)
Supports cellular energy production, healthy aging, and mitochondrial function by increasing NAD⁺ levels.
Origin
Naturally occurring form of vitamin B3.
Found in diet
Trace amounts in milk, yeast, and some fermented foods.
Research summary
NR has been shown in human and preclinical studies to safely increase NAD⁺ levels, a key molecule involved in cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and age-related cellular function. Research links NAD⁺ decline with aging, and NR supplementation has demonstrated potential benefits for metabolic health, muscle function, and cellular resilience.
