Here’s what the folks at Chromadex have said on a number of podcast interviews about NAD booster vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and sleep:

Dr Charles Brenner (discoverer of NR as an NAD boosting vitamin) on the BulletProof Radio Podcast

“This is extremely anecdotal for me, but I’m one of the people that thinks that it has a sleep benefit — of taking NR. Again, that’s not been clinically tested, but that’s something that we’re very interested in.

Chromadex CEO Rob Fried on the Habits and Hustle Podcast

“People should be taking this thing (NR). A lot of people have back pain, trouble sleeping at night, a lot of people don’t heal quite as quickly, they’re not working out quite as well as they used to work out….”

Chromadex CEO Rob Fried on the Optimal Performance Podcast

“What Dr Brenner (NAD expert) suggests is that it really doesn’t matter when you take it as long as you take it around the same time every day. Because NAD levels do impact the circadian rhythm and you do from time to time hear people when they first start taking it that they took it late at night and didn’t sleep well. But, in fact if you took it at the same time every day you’re going to sleep better and deeper you just have to try to be consistent with when you take it.”

“…In my case, I had hurt my knee skiing about 10 years ago. And I always had pain walking up the steps and putting any pressure on it. And I noticed it was gone after 3 months (of taking NR). I noticed that I no longer was favoring the other leg. And I realized that it might very well be because of a reduction in inflammation there and also repairing.

I also noticed that I was sleeping deeper — remembering my dreams. And I had long stopped having those kind of deep sleep. And of course NAD levels and inflammation levels are very related to how you sleep and how deep a sleep that you have.”
