You’ve likely heard of NAD+ IVs. What about NR IVs? During an episode of the “Forever Young” podcast last month, Chromadex CEO Rob Fried was asked about future opportunities beyond oral supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes). Here’s what he said:

As you probably know, there’s a lot of Niacin in Western diets. So, when a new, potentially concerning Niacin study was published last week, the media sounded the alarm, and word spread quickly. Furthermore, those taking NAD+ boosters Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) and/or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide “NMN” (FAQs and Anecdotes) began to wonder whether they, too, were at risk. But, as it turns out, there are some serious flaws in this whole narrative.
We’ve written a lot about ongoing clinical trials testing NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) for Parkinson’s patients. Fortunately, Chromadex (NR sellers) CEO Rob Fried gave the following update on those trials at an investor conference earlier this week:

We’ve long known that Scripps Research’s Dr. Brunie Felding has been studying NAD+ booster Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) as a possible treatment for breast cancer. But, aside from a brief mention of her work by NAD+ expert Dr. Charles Brenner, we’ve heard virtually nothing. Until now. Chromadex (sellers of NR) recently gave consumers an opportunity to ask Dr. Felding various questions via email. The following is an email response from Dr. Felding (published with permission):
Last week, Dr. Andrew Salzman joined “The Doctor’s Farmacy with Mark Hyman M.D.” to discuss NAD+, NR (FAQs), and NMN (FAQs). Dr. Salzman made the case that if you want to raise your NAD+ levels, NMN is your best option. There are 2 problems here. First, neither Dr. Salzman nor Dr. Hyman disclosed Salzman’s ties to a company that sells NMN. Second, according to Dr. Charles Brenner (FAQs), Dr. Salzman’s case for NMN’s superiority is flawed. Brenner knows this from his own work. But, first, here’s Dr. Salzman on Dr. Hyman’s podcast:
On a podcast published this week entitled “An NAD Booster That Improves Cellular Health In The Brain“, Dr. Vilhelm Bohr, a molecular biologist, professor at the University of Copenhagen, and former chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), discussed his Alzheimer’s research, and his enthusiasm for NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Dr. Bohr’s research reminds us of similar work by Alzheimer’s expert Dr. Rudy Tanzi. The following is an excerpt from Dr. Bohr’s podcast interview (transcript and video below):
During last week’s appearance on the “World of DaaS” podcast (transcript and video below), Harvard’s Dr. David Sinclair made a compelling case for all NAD+ boosters. We know he’s a proponent of taking NAD+ booster NMN (FAQs, Anecdotes). But in this latest podcast, Sinclair appears to acknowledge more broadly that “NAD boosters, as they’re called, seem to be really beneficial”. So, if you recognize that Sinclair’s previous arguments in favor of NMN over NR are less than compelling (including an incorrect statement about NR stability), and you’re wondering what to do following the FDA’s recent NMN ban, Sinclair appears to be telling you that other NAD boosters are also worthwhile:
Back in April 2021, we heard from Kirk Carter who shared his extraordinary experience taking NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Life Changing Testimonials). Two years later, we have an update. It gets better:
