A member of the vitamin B3 family that directly stimulates the production of NAD+, a co-enzyme that is essential to the creation of energy in the body.*
Nicotinamide riboside – or NR – is a naturally-occurring form of vitamin B3 that works within every cell to support healthy metabolism and detoxification, help us age well and exercise better, and support cognitive function.* NAD+ is arguably the most important cellular co-factor for improving mitochondrial number and function – thus having a direct beneficial impact on energy production in every cell of the body.
Unfortunately, the amount of NAD+ the body makes naturally declines as we age, with a corresponding decrease in the activity of numerous enzymes and healthy aging proteins. In addition, NR can only be obtained naturally in very small quantities from milk, fish, beer, mushrooms, green vegetables, and whole grains.
