Last week, a Twitter user asked Dr. Charles Brenner for research on the potential neuroprotective benefits of NAD+ vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Life Changing Consumer Anecdotes). Here’s how Dr. Brenner responded:
There’s reason to believe that NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) could be helpful to those suffering from neuropathy. Dr. Charles Brenner (FAQs), who discovered NR as an NAD+ boosting vitamin certainly believes so. Below are quotes from Dr. Brenner on the NAD+ science, current clinical trials, and consumer anecdotes:
In a recent pre-clinical study, scientists at the Ho Lab looked at NAD booster Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and its impact on cancer growth. One key conclusion: “Collectively, these findings reveal that supplementation with NR alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and further induces additive anti-tumor immunity in conjunction with ICB (immune checkpoint blockade) treatments”. These findings are somewhat consistent with what Dr. Charles Brenner (NAD expert and discoverer of NR as an NAD precursor vitamin) has said about NR and cancer on various platforms over the last year:
We know that there’s enormous interest in studying Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in the science community. A quick look at the 50+ ongoing or completed clinical trials says it all. But who are these scientists? Chromadex CEO Rob Fried talked about some of them at the Oppenheimer Health Care Conference yesterday.
