We’ve heard a number of anecdotes from consumers claiming that NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) helped reduce or eliminate their arthritis. One example is Coach AJ (Anecdote #20). And, of course, this is no surprise to some with knowledge of metabolism and aging that raising NAD levels can be helpful in the fight against arthritis. For those looking for more evidence of the NAD-NR-arthritis connection, the following is a personal story in a short but substantive video from “Stay on the Health Track” (YouTube 2.7k subs):
As part of her daily health and wellness regimen, reality star and entrepreneur Kourtney Kardashian just announced she takes NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Of note, there’s no evidence she’s being compensated for making the following glowing public endorsement. Here’s what she said yesterday on her site and on Twitter (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience below):
As we know, NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is essential to the normal functioning of every cell in our body. But NAD gets depleted over time due to the many instances of body stress we experience in our lives. One of those instances of body stress can occur when we play sports. And when our NAD levels are disturbed or reduced due to any kind of sports related contact or injury, we’re likely experiencing what’s called “metabolic stress”. As a refresher, metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that changes food into energy. Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing. So, why are so many athletes including (though not acknowledged) the NFL’s New England Patriots taking NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews)?
Most of us hate needles. But if that were the only way to raise our NAD levels, many of us might embrace NAD IV drips (FAQs). Fortunately, NAD expert Dr. Charles Brenner, who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD boosting vitamin says you don’t need to choose the needle option. He explained further on a recent episode of Dr Will Cole’s podcast “The Art of Being Well“:
Last week, Mark Molinaro, who previously reported being seizure-free thanks to vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) returned to us with more to share. He showed us his recent liver and kidney blood test results which demonstrated remarkable improvement. He attributes that improvement to an increase in his daily dose of NR. This reminded us of a Twitter question in 2020 where Dr, Charles Brenner (who discovered NR as an NAD boosting vitamin) was asked whether there’s a lab test to objectively measure the impact of taking NR. Here’s what he said:
You may be quick to dismiss Mark Molinaro and his claim that Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) put an end to his devastating epileptic seizures. He doesn’t expect you to believe him either. But now he’s back with an anecdote about his dramatically improved liver and kidney blood test results which he attributes to an increase in his daily dose of NR (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience below):
Many people are searching for vitamin supplements to help improve their egg quality. We recently learned of a Harvard trained fertility expert who recommends Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). We’ve since learned of another fertility specialist who’s equally enthusiastic about NR and recommends it to his patients. Below is a short 5-minute video where he explains why:
After contracting COVID, outspoken podcaster Joe Rogan fought back with a treatment plan that included NAD IV drips (FAQs). For some (but not all), NAD drips are a preferred alternative to NAD boosting supplements Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and NMN (FAQs). Below is Rogan’s Instagram video where he provides more detail:
Last week, we wrote a blog post about the supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) entitled “If NMN is Safe, Why Don’t Regulators Approve It?“. We were subsequently made aware of an article by a group of scientists published last month in the Journal of Advanced Research entitled “Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) as an anti-aging health product – Promises and safety concerns“. It raises serious concerns about the safety of NMN. The following are the authors’ conclusions:
Much to my surprise, lots of people take NAD+ boosting supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes). But as readers of this site know, I’m certainly not one of them. While I’m sold on the importance of boosting NAD+ levels, I defer to the regulatory authorities in charge of evaluating consumer safety to determine which NAD booster to take. And hands down, it’s Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes). It’s not even close. NR has been deemed safe by the FDA (NDI), Health Canada, EFSA, Australian TGA, and achieved GRAS status — NMN has received none of these approvals. What about the general science community? Well, they’ve clearly made their choice, too. There are currently 67 human clinical trials at some stage testing NR as a treatment for various diseases — only 14 trials for NMN. This suggests that scientists overwhelming choose NR when testing NAD boosters on human subjects. As well, the scientists at Nestlé chose NR over NMN when launching new food and beverage products selling to the general population. But while NR appears the safe choice, it remains abundantly concerning that even with the lack of regulatory body safety recognition, there’s obviously so much consumer demand for NMN that there are MANY companies still selling it. And each of these companies is selling something different. So it’s virtually impossible to know what you’re actually ingesting when taking NMN. And yet NMN remains incredibly popular. It’s a marketing triumph of significant proportions that so many consumers have been convinced to put something in their bodies that has so many red flags in plain sight. And then comes this:
On numerous occasions, Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD precursor vitamin) has responded to questions about taking NR under the tongue:
Here’s what Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD precursor vitamin) said in response to a question about boosting NAD with NR vs Niacin on Twitter yesterday:
In a segment on last week’s Darin Olien podcast (“Understanding Human Metabolism”), NAD expert Dr. Charles Brenner made the case against “NAD IV drip therapy” (a treatment often endorsed by Joe Rogan). Dr Brenner’s suggestion: Oral supplementation with Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Key quotes and podcast embedded:
When IVF didn’t work for Dave Crouse and his wife, they turned to NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). After 3 months of NR supplementation (1000 mg daily), Dave’s wife conceived (“Our Niagen Baby“). Can the Crouse family experience be replicated? Well, Harvard-trained fertility specialist Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh AKA “The Egg Whisperer” has said the following on various podcasts including the ones below (videos embedded):
Last week, Australia-trained Angus Hays MD joined the Curious Doc podcast to discuss Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) and NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes). The host and guest (two medical doctors) do an excellent job of explaining a complicated subject in plain, accessible, and non-scientific English. The following are key quotes (full 15-minute video interview embedded below):
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):
A year ago, Nestlé launched a new brand containing Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). We’ve seen their ads in the New York Times — but not much else. Now comes a new video ad wherein Nestlé explains why one should take NR. While NR appears to help consumers in many different ways (see our library of Anecdotes), Nestlé’s positioning is clear:
Dr. Charles Brenner often makes the scientific case for supplementing with Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) over NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes). But, he also believes there’s an even simpler reason. In the interview excerpt below, Dr Brenner starts with an explanation of the science and concludes with something many of us can more easily understand:
At the end of June, results from a Phase 3 clinical trial were published showing that a cocktail of metabolic activators including Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) significantly reduced recovery time in mild to moderate COVID-19 patients. Previously, in response to Phase 2 results, Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered NR as an NAD precursor vitamin) commented on Twitter: “I expect NR was driver of the beneficial effects in ppl“. And now that the full Phase 3 study results have finally been published, Dr Brenner said the following on a mid-July podcast (video embedded below):
Many consumers have reported their skin transformed by vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Some of the most striking examples: Gary’s psoriasis, Anne’s facial spots, and Mike’s younger and smoother skin. (This may explain why there’s a relatively new NR skin care product on the market.) In our latest reader submission, a 44 year-old female whose initials are LP explains in great detail how she believes NR has changed her life (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience below):
In a recent Nutrition 2021 Conference presentation entitled “Potential Impact of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) on Maternal Health Outcomes“, UC Davis professor and lactation expert Bruce German PhD explained why vitamin supplement NR (FAQs) (Reviews) might show dramatic effects on human mothers and their offspring in clinical trials he’s currently conducting. The following are key quotes from Dr German:
In a recent conference presentation entitled “Potential Impact of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) on Maternal Health Outcomes”, Professor and Chemist Bruce German PhD of UC Davis showed the following short but remarkable videos of rodents supplemented with Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews):
In response to an audience question regarding the safety of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews), UC Davis professor and chemist Dr. Bruce German who’s testing NR on mothers of preterm infants said the following at the Nutrition 2021 Conference in June:
City of Hope’s Dr. Charles Brenner loves to talk about the science of NAD and Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). And since he discovered NR as an NAD precursor vitamin, he’s well positioned to do so. But many of us non-scientists prefer it when he explains in plain English how NR can potentially improve our lives. Lucky for us, he did so very clearly on a recent podcast (video embedded below):
In response to yesterday’s blog post “Why are Scientists Particularly Focused on Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and its Impact on Inflammation?“, a Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) consumer shared why he believes scientists might be onto something. His experience is similar to that of Chromadex CEO Rob Fried. The following is David Spaulding’s personal story (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience below):
Here’s what City of Hope’s Dr. Charles Brenner (discoverer of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD precursor vitamin) said on a recent podcast (video embedded below):
We’ve heard repeatedly that NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) helps people overcome jet lag. What about NAD booster NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes)? Well, on the Joe Rogan podcast earlier this month, Harvard’s David Sinclair said the following:

On multiple occasions, we’ve heard that Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) can provide protection for the liver in conditions of metabolic stress. Our latest consumer reviewer clearly agrees. Here’s his story (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience using the form below):
Last week, Walmart introduced a new 100mg dose of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in partnership with Chromadex. While the FDA recommended daily dose of NR is 300mg, we’ve been told that a dose as low as 100mg can also have a therapeutic benefit. It’s reasonable to assume that since NR is expensive, this new cheaper SKU at Walmart is an effort to target a new consumer group. It also might encourage others who could afford the 300mg dose but either balk at the price or are awaiting more clinical data to finally give it a try. Here’s how Chromadex CEO Rob Fried explained the strategy in a recent interview with the TD Ameritrade Network (video embedded below):
It’s widely believed that NAD depletion is a fundamental feature of aging. This is particularly evident in certain diseases that cause accelerated aging. Chromadex CEO Rob Fried discussed this in detail on last week’s Patients Rising Podcast:
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:
A common complaint from consumers of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) is cost. Why is it so expensive? Here’s what Chromadex CEO Rob Fried said in response at the recent Benzinga Small-Cap Conference:
While there’s much talk about new Chromadex paid spokesperson and Olympian Ryan Lochte and his claims that Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) helps him with recovery, repair, and energy, we at RaisingNAD are skeptical. We prefer to hear from people like Coach AJ/AJ/Angela J Nealy who receive nothing from stepping forward and sharing their experiences taking NR. And while Coach AJ isn’t an Olympic athlete, she did play in a Professional Women’s Tackle Football League! She’s also a retired Chemistry educator. The following is her story in her own words (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience using the form below):
Without a Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) product available for pets, some owners are taking matters into their own hands. We’ve heard from a number who’ve chosen to feed NR to their pets hoping to improve their health. Can we expect an NR product for pets? Angela Durazo (actress, former Formula 4 race car driver, former professional triathlete) was hopeful as she reached out to Dr. Charles Brenner on Twitter late last week:
We know that many people are experiencing long haul COVID symptoms. As a result, scientists are looking for possible treatments. One of those scientists is Harvard professor and Alzheimer’s expert Dr. Rudy Tanzi who in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital recently launched a clinical study looking at Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Should COVID long haulers be optimistic about Dr Tanzi’s human NR study? Chromadex CEO Rob Fried weighed in on this very issue at the Benzinga Small-Cap Conference yesterday:
A few days ago, Chromadex Chairman Frank Jaksch spoke at the Healthspan Show. In a ~16-minute presentation entitled “Nicotinamide Riboside (NR): The Science of Aging, Cellular Health & NAD+ Precursors”, Jaksch explained NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) in plain English:

Over the last year, we’ve heard some incredible stories from readers impacted by taking NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). While all of these stories are beyond extraordinary (especially Dave & Fertility, Mark & Epilepsy, Gary & Psoriasis), we’re seeing some remarkable consistency. Many people are reporting among other things: faster recovery, better sleep, improved skin, and the return of natural hair color. Today’s submission from Kirk Carter goes a step further (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience below):
At RaisingNAD, we often highlight Chromadex CEO Rob Fried’s many podcast appearances for a very simple reason. While he never reveals any information that isn’t already publicly available, he does however often explain the merits of supplementing with Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in new, accessible, and more persuasive ways. Last week, he joined the Insider Opportunities podcast to discuss Nicotinamide Riboside (NR):
