In a wide-ranging and ongoing AMA on the NR subreddit, Harvard trained fertility specialist Dr. Aimee (“the egg whisperer”) was asked what dose of NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) she recommends to patients. Here’s what she said:

Question:

Hi Dr. Aimee —

What are your thoughts on studies showing that a lower dose of NR led to greater fertility than a high dose (i.e., https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7063679/)?

What dose have you seen as most successful among your older patients?

Dr. Aimee:

“I think even 150-300 mg would be beneficial to help support your egg quality.

For the past year now I have been telling patients to increase their dose slowly to 1000mg daily.

I can only share anecdotal information with you since there isn’t a study comparing low vs high doses in women specifically evaluating fertility”
