Curated, not stocked.
Our team selected this for performance-focused clients who have the fundamentals in place and want to address cellular energy metabolism as a next layer. NAD+ research is one of the more credible emerging areas in longevity and recovery science — the mechanism is well characterised, and NR's position as a direct salvage-pathway precursor gives it a stronger research basis than many compounds in this category. We recommend it as part of a structured protocol rather than a standalone intervention.
About this product
NAD+ Booster (Nicotinamide Riboside)
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell of the body, where it plays a central role in energy metabolism. Levels decline naturally with age, which has made NAD+-boosting compounds one of the more actively researched areas in cellular health science.
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a form of vitamin B3 and a direct precursor to NAD+. It is converted to NAD+ via a two- or three-step salvage pathway, making it one of the more efficient dietary routes to raising NAD+ levels. NR is among the most studied NAD+ precursors in published human clinical trials, alongside nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and NR combined with the polyphenol pterostilbene.
Most nicotinamide riboside formulations recommend a daily intake of 250–300 mg, equivalent to 1–2 capsules per day depending on the brand. NR is generally considered to have few side effects at these levels, and the safety profile across published trials is well established.
The evidence base is still developing — NAD+ research is a genuinely promising field, but not every claimed application has been confirmed in large-scale human trials. This supplement sits best within a broader protocol that already addresses the fundamentals: sleep quality, training load, and nutritional adequacy. It is intended for adults looking to support healthy cellular function as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle, and is not a substitute for a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have an underlying health condition, please consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Is this safe to take alongside statins or blood-pressure medication?
Nicotinamide riboside is not known to interact with common cardiovascular medicines, but because NAD+ influences cellular metabolism we recommend you show the pack to your prescribing doctor or pharmacist before starting.
How long until I might notice any difference in energy or recovery?
Published human trials typically measure biochemical changes after 4–8 weeks of daily intake; subjective changes in perceived energy or recovery are more variable and may appear later, if at all.
Who should avoid this supplement?
It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and anyone with an underlying medical condition or taking prescription medication should consult a qualified healthcare professional first.
Can I take it with food or does it need an empty stomach?
Nicotinamide riboside is absorbed well with or without food; taking it alongside a meal can reduce the very low incidence of mild nausea reported in some trials.
How does NR compare to NMN for raising NAD+ levels?
Both are well-studied precursors; NR uses the shorter salvage pathway and has a larger published human safety dataset, whereas NMN data are more limited. Check the packaging for the specific dose and choose the precursor that best fits your protocol.
