Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NRCl) (NIAGEN® Plus) is a form of vitamin B3 that is involved in making energy in the body. NR is a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and its administration increases NAD+ levels in the body. NAD+ is an essential coenzyme present in all cells in the body and is involved in more than 500 cellular functions. NAD+ has been shown to decline with age, which is likely the result of the accumulation of metabolic insults over time. NAD+ may also be lower in individuals with chronic illnesses. As an NAD+ precursor (building block), NR administration may be beneficial to overall wellness and supporting healthy aging. NIAGEN® Plus (NR Chloride, NRCl) is a proprietary, sterile form of NR used for injection or intravenous infusion.
