Q. What is NR and how does it differ from taking NAD+ directly?
A: NR (nicotinamide riboside) is one of the most effective ways to support your body's NAD+ levels. NAD+ molecules are too large to be absorbed efficiently through the gut wall, so taking it directly doesn't get you very far. NR works as a precursor instead — a form of vitamin B3 that your body can actually absorb and use to support NAD+ production. As a source of niacin, it also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism¹.
Q. How much NR is in each serving?
A. Each capsule delivers 300mg of nicotinamide riboside, alongside 350mg of betaine and 200mcg of folic acid. One capsule covers 100% of your daily folic acid requirement.
Q. Why does this formula include betaine and folic acid?
A. Most NR supplements stop at a single ingredient. We’ve added betaine and folic acid because they support complementary pathways. Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism⁴, normal psychological function², and normal blood formation³ — making this a more complete daily formula for people focused on long-term wellbeing.
Q. Who is this supplement designed for?
A. It’s designed for people who take a proactive, informed approach to their health — whether that’s everyday athletes looking to support their energy metabolism, or those focused on healthy ageing and long-term cellular health. It’s caffeine-free, so it suits a wide range of routines.
Q. When and how should I take these capsules?
A. Take one capsule daily, preferably in the morning with water as part of your regular routine. Consistency matters more than timing with a supplement like this.
Q. Can I take this alongside other supplements or a multivitamin?
A. Yes, this can generally be taken alongside other supplements. Because it contains 100% of your daily folic acid requirement, it’s worth checking your other products to avoid significantly exceeding the recommended daily value for folate. If you’re taking any prescribed medication, check with your GP first.
Q. What age should I consider taking an NR supplement?
A: From your mid-thirties, your body’s ability to produce NAD+ naturally starts to fall. NR NAD+ Precursor Capsules are formulated for people who care about how they age and want to proactively support their cellular energy processes. Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism1, making it a valuable addition to your routine as you get older.
Q. Is this supplement suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
A: Yes, our NR NAD+ Precursor Capsules are delivered in a convenient capsule format that is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.
Q. What’s the difference between NR and NMN?
NR (nicotinamide riboside) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) are different compounds. NMN is a precursor involved in NAD+ biosynthesis. NR NAD+ Precursor Capsules contain 300mg of nicotinamide riboside per serving.
