Summary

Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is another NAD+ precursor that is taken up by cells and converted into NAD+, supporting mitochondrial function and sirtuin activity. Human trials show it can raise NAD+ levels, and it is used in many longevity-oriented protocols. As with other NAD+ boosters, long-term clinical outcomes are still being defined.
