Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is the precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NR injections have been shown to increase your body’s natural NAD+ production by 20% in just 3 hours after injection!!
What NR Injections are Good For:
- Energy production: Improve mitochondrial function and energy production.
- Cellular repair: DNA repair and cell protection against oxidative stress.
- Metabolic regulation: NR is linked to sirtuin activity, which improves metabolism
- Aging: NR may improve lifespan and reduce age-related decline by boosting NAD+ levels.
- Cognitive function: NR may improve brain health and cognitive function
- Cardiovascular health: NR may improve blood vessel function and reduce inflammation.
- Weight management: NR may support weight loss by enhancing metabolism.
- Immune function: NR may boost the immune system by increasing NAD+ levels.
NR injections are 99% absorbed by your body, while oral supplements are only 8 – 20% absorbed.
Why get an NR injection instead of an NAD+ shot? NR naturally raises your NAD+ levels. Some patients experience side effects from NAD+ injections, such as a racing heart, anxiety, or tightness in the chest. NR injections are not associated with these types of side effects.
