During a recent panel discussion in Korea, NAD+ expert Dr. Charles Brenner was asked for his reaction to consumers reporting remarkable skin benefits after taking vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Life Changing Consumer Anecdotes). Here’s his response (video and transcript below):

HOST:

“Many people who actually orally take NR talk about their skin complexion improving.

Is there a correlation there at all?

DR. Charles Brenner:

“It’s anecdotally claimed by many people.

There’s even more anecdotes of people saying that they recovered from scrapes and cuts much more rapidly than than they thought that they would.

People notice fingernail growth and more hair left at the barber shop or more hair under the razor.

Those things have not been clinically proven but those are very, very common observations

…also you asked a question about cancer.

The most closely related compound Nicotinamide has been subject of some large trials in Australia and lowered skin cancer risks.

So by boosting NAD you’re protecting your skin against malignancy”
