Why Do Many Athletes Take NAD Boosting Vitamin Supplement Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)?

As we know, NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is essential to the normal functioning of every cell in our body. But NAD gets depleted over time due to the many instances of body stress we experience in our lives. One of those instances of body stress can occur when we play sports. And when our NAD levels are disturbed or reduced due to any kind of sports related contact or injury, we’re likely experiencing what’s called “metabolic stress”. As a refresher, metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that changes food into energy. Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing. So, why are so many athletes including (though not acknowledged) the NFL’s New England Patriots taking NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews)?

Major NYT Article On COVID-19 Cytokine Storms Omits NAD Connection

This week’s New York Times Magazine suggests that “many Covid-19 patients may be dying from their immune response to the virus, NOT from the virus itself.” COVID-19 patients’ immune overreaction is known as a “Cytokine Storm”.
