Chronic nicotinamide riboside supplementation is well-tolerated and elevates NAD⁺ in healthy middle-aged and older adults
This 2018 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial evaluated the effects of 6 weeks of oral nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplementation (500 mg twice daily) in 24 healthy adults aged 55–79. NR significantly increased NAD⁺ levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells by approximately 60% compared to placebo. Exploratory analyses indicated potential reductions
