We use NAD every day for basic functions like sleeping, breathing, converting food to energy and cellular repair. In fact, this very special molecule has a hand to play in just about every part of our health and cellular wellbeing. However, our NAD levels decline with age and anytime we are under stress, contributing to changes in cell function and our general wellbeing.
NAD (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital resource found in all living cells. We use it every day. After over 100 years of studying this molecule, researchers are publishing more articles about NAD than ever before. Now we know NAD isn’t a constant resource. Things like overeating, staying in the sun too long, or drinking alcohol can stress our system and cause NAD to decline. Some scientists even think this NAD decline plays a major role in how we age.
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a precursor for NAD. Scientists have known about the vital role of NAD since 1906. Since then, they’ve learned NAD is found in every living cell, and that it fuels the mitochondria, which keeps almost every tissue in the body healthy. In 2004, a landmark study by Dr. Charles Brenner uncovered a unique molecule called nicotinamide riboside (NR) that could sustainably support healthy NAD levels.
Although NR is a naturally-occurring vitamin in milk, it’s only found in trace amounts. Based on Dr. Brenner’s patents and the established techniques of ChromaDex, NR was exclusively licensed and developed as NIAGEN®
Tru Niagen is the world’s first efficient NAD precursor – meaning it supports your NAD levels every time you take it!
