Nicotinamide Riboside Specifications

Nicotinamide Riboside Description

Nicotinamide riboside is a precursor of NAD+ and a source of vitamin B3. It increases the intracellular and mitochondrial NAD+, which could increase the cell viability and help to anti-aging. It also increases cerebral cortex NAD+ and reduces cognitive deterioration in mice models of Alzheimer’s disease. Levels of NAD+ in the liver and skeletal muscle can be increased by Nicotinamide riboside, this makes the body prevents body weight gain in mice fed a high-fat diet.

Nicotinamide Riboside Benefits

Because most of the research on nicotinamide riboside and NAD+ is from animal studies, no conclusive data on their effectiveness in humans can be obtained.

That being said, here are some health benefits that nicotinamide riboside can have on nicotinamide riboside. Nicotinamide riboside increases NAD+ levels and is associated with potential health benefits for aging, brain health, heart disease risk, and more.

• Nicotinamide riboside helps increase NAD+ levels in the body. In response, NAD+ activates several enzymes that can activate normal growth.
• Nicotinamide riboside may help protect brain cells. In a test-tube study, nicotinamide riboside increased NAD+ levels and significantly improved mitochondrial function in stem cells of people with Parkinson’s disease (19Trusted Source).
• Nicotinamide riboside may reduce the risk of heart disease. In humans, nicotinamide riboside increased NAD+ levels, helped reduce aortic stiffness, and reduced systolic blood pressure in adults at risk for hypertension.
• Other potential benefits: Help you lose weight It can reduce the risk of cancer It can help cure jet lag Healthy muscles can promote growth
