TRU NIAGEN® — Nicotinamide Riboside

Nicotinamide riboside is the most easily absorbed precursor for NAD+, an important coenzyme that can reduce aging, support mitochondrial health, and even protect against DNA damage.

Pure Nootropics nicotinamide riboside provides licensed and manufactured TRU NIAGEN® NR using rigorous, patented manufacturing for guaranteed quality.

Nicotinamide Riboside Benefits

Nicotinamide riboside is currently the best supplement we have for increasing levels of NAD+, which is a part of the electron transport chain and a major part of turning our food into energy. As we age, NAD+ levels decrease, which begins a cascade of negative effects.

Low NAD+ increases the rate of aging, kills cells of all types, creates chronic fatigue, and impairs health cognitive function. Nicotinamide riboside can increase NAD+ by up to 2.7 times baseline levels. This is one reason why nicotinamide riboside has been studied in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Nicotinamide riboside has become a darling within the biohacking community as a source of added longevity and anti-aging. While the long-term studies on this have not yet played out, the mechanisms for improving biomarkers of aging seem to be valid.

Nicotinamide Riboside Dosage

The scientific literature varies, but a healthy dosage of nicotinamide riboside is around 200 mg per day. Some studies will range up to 500 mg, but it is best to start with lower doses and increase from there.

Nicotinamide Riboside Mode of Action

Aside from NAD+ injection therapy, there is no way to get NAD+ alone, which is why a precursor like nicotinamide riboside is required. A nicotinamide riboside supplement gets converted into NAD+, which aids in cellular function.
