Almost a year ago, airline pilot Dave Crouse shared a life-changing anecdote about welcoming a new baby following seemingly insurmountable fertility challenges. He attributed he and his wife’s success to vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Is Dave correct that NR helped lead to his new baby? Well, last week a new study was published suggesting there might be some validity to Dave’s claim. And in a Facebook comment responding to the new results, Dave explained in further detail how this specific study mirrored his own experience in which he believes NR ultimately helped: “Age-related Oocyte quality was the reason IVF did not work for us”. The following once again is Dave and his wife’s story, “Our Niagen Baby” (Anecdote #11):

Dave Crouse – Anecdote #11 (Comment originally posted HERE and confirmed via email):

“My wife and I were introduced to Niagen in 2015.

We were not very serious about taking it because we were in our mid 30s and assumed NAD+ levels were not an issue for us.

We couldn’t have been more wrong.

In 2016 my wife and I were having difficulty conceiving.

After 18 months we decided to see a fertility doctor.

The doctor suspected my wife’s eggs could have viability issues and recommended In-vitro fertilization.

After multiple rounds of IVF we were told that the eggs were not viable enough to support conception.

We became very discouraged but a friend of ours, who knew a great deal about NR, recommended she take 1000mg of Niagen daily.

He explained the benefits of cellular repair and NR’s role in supporting mitochondria.

Shockingly after 3 months of Niagen supplementation we conceived.

Considering the science on NR was young my wife stopped supplementation upon conception.

Our friend encouraged her to resume supplementation postpartum and throughout the breastfeeding process.

It’s possible that we have one of the first Niagen babies out there.

Interestingly, our little Niagen baby was riding her bicycle without training wheels at the age of 2, a feat her older brother did not accomplish until the age of 4.

It has been very exciting to see clinical studies come out of the fertility and lactation space.

We firmly believe NR can do wonderful things for mothers and their new babies.”
