Last week, Walmart introduced a new 100mg dose of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in partnership with Chromadex. While the FDA recommended daily dose of NR is 300mg, we’ve been told that a dose as low as 100mg can also have a therapeutic benefit. It’s reasonable to assume that since NR is expensive, this new cheaper SKU at Walmart is an effort to target a new consumer group. It also might encourage others who could afford the 300mg dose but either balk at the price or are awaiting more clinical data to finally give it a try. Here’s how Chromadex CEO Rob Fried explained the strategy in a recent interview with the TD Ameritrade Network (video embedded below):

The following is an example from last week:
