Description
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a synthetic form of vitamin B3 and a precursor to NAD+, a critical coenzyme involved in numerous cellular processes including energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular health. Supplementation with NR aims to elevate NAD+ levels, potentially resulting in benefits such as enhanced energy metabolism, anti-aging effects, and neuroprotection. NR is generally considered safe for most individuals, although some may experience mild side effects. While research is ongoing, the potential benefits of NR in promoting healthy aging and preventing age-related diseases are promising. Long-term studies are still needed to fully understand the full spectrum of benefits and potential risks associated with NR supplementation.
