As we’ve discussed previously, Nestlé Health (a subsidiary of Nestlé) recently introduced a new product containing Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in partnership with Chromadex. Since then, Nestlé has launched a vigorous campaign to educate the general public about N.A.D. and NR in an effort to accelerate consumer adoption of its various new Celltrient products. At RaisingNAD, we’re always on the lookout for content that explains NAD and NR in plain, non-scientific English — even if it comes from an advertisement. So, here’s some key quotes from a Nestlé “Sponsored Article” in Newsweek:

From a Nestlé “Sponsored Article” in Newsweek:

“When thinking of ways to improve your health, you’ll most likely come up with a list of prescription medication and therapies.

However, while conventional medicine does have practical applications, it tends to focus more on the symptoms rather than the underlying problem.

This is why it was a game changer when scientists discovered that cellular health plays a huge role in aging.

If you address health on a cellular level, you won’t just be able to prevent aging, but also infections and diseases. You will be able to manage serious health conditions, minimize fatigue, and promote your overall health.

…As research on aging continues, what has become increasingly evident is the importance of mitochondrial health and its significant impact on energy, endurance, strength, and stamina after middle age.

Three major mechanisms of cellular decline play significant roles in prompting the declines associated with aging:

  • A decline in mitochondrial health, which reduces efficiency in cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, and cellular function.
  • A decline in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential coenzyme that turns nutrients into energy. This impairs the natural process for producing cellular energy (ATP).
  • A decline in levels of glutathione, a “master antioxidant,” which the body needs to continuously produce to protect you from oxidative stress and damage.

Cellular nutrients target key mechanisms that can decline with age, and provide you with the nutrition you need to care for your body at a cellular level.”

Chromadex’s Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) — the key ingredient in Nestle’s Celltrient Energy

“Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a cellular nutrient that helps cells transform the food that you eat into energy that your body needs. NAD+ is critical for converting nutrients into energy. They ensure that the macronutrients you eat are properly processed into fuel that your cells can use.”
