NR Nicotinamide Riboside: Effective Antivitamin Supplement or Hype?
2024-08-21 18:56:08
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a newly discovered form of vitamin B3 that has received a lot of attention recently. It is touted as an anti-aging vitamin because of its ability to increase levels of NAD+, a coenzyme that plays an important role in many biological processes.
So, is NR really a more potent form of vitamin B3 that can boost metabolism, cardiovascular health, and brain function? While there is little research on this topic, there are human and animal studies showing that this vitamin has many health benefits, similar to NAD supplements.
What is nicotinamide riboside? How does it work?
Nicotinamide riboside, also known as niagen, is a form of vitamin B3. It is the precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme required for important body functions such as metabolism, energy production, regulating the body's circadian rhythms and repairing DNA damage.
You may be used to thinking of “niacin” as a common form of vitamin B3. Niacin is often added to packaged foods to reduce the risk of vitamin B3 deficiency.
Like niacin side effects, nicotinamide riboside can increase NAD+ levels, but NR actually requires less energy to do this.
Researchers have found that NR turns into NAD+ faster than other forms of vitamin B3, which is why it's prized as an anti-aging, health-promoting supplement. Additionally, NR requires less body energy to increase NAD+, so the body can use that energy for other needs.
Our NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age, and low levels of the coenzyme are associated with aging and some common health conditions, such as heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
