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:

Dr. Charles Brenner

On the PRECISIONE: The Healthcast Podcast (May 2020):

  • “We’re interested in virtually every type of neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapeutic neuropathy, some kinds of central brain injury that affect the NAD system.”

On The Genius Life Podcast (December 2020):

  • “…One of the things that we see in the laboratory (using NR) is protection of diabetic nerve and chemotherapy induced damaged nerves –chemotherapeutic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy”

Current Clinical Trials (“Recruiting“)

  • Nicotinamide Riboside for Diabetic Neuropathy (Link)
  • Evaluation of Nicotinamide Riboside in Prevention of Small Fiber Axon Degeneration and Promotion of Nerve Regeneration (Link)
  • NR in Chemo-induced Peripheral Neuropathy (Link)
  • NIAGEN and Persistent Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (Link)

Anecdotes (On Taking NR)

Anecdote #2

  • “I really wasn’t expecting anything and I certainly wasn’t expecting my seizures to subside but they in fact did. Neuropathic pain has also diminished significantly”

Anecdote #7

  • “The personal stories I have heard include: A) 2 people reducing or almost eliminating pain from neuropathy — one whose problem was caused by chemotherapy, and one by Lyme disease”
