Nicotinamide Riboside—Therapeutic Applications and Current State of Research: Review
Synopsis
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a form of vitamin B3 and a building block for NAD+, a coenzyme essential for energy production, DNA repair, and cell communication. NR has gained attention for its potential benefits in brain health, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging, and is available as a dietary supplement under study for medical uses. NR can be made in crystalline or amorphous forms—crystalline is more stable and easier to produce consistently, while amorphous may dissolve better and be absorbed more easily, though it's less stable. Supplement makers choose the form based on factors like stability, solubility, and product type.
