What is Niagen?
Niagen (NR) is a precursor to NAD+ that is converted naturally to NAD+ inside cells, so it can better circulate in the blood, enter cells directly and be more readily utilized in the body. IV infusion time is 75% faster and the effects are longer lasting with fewer adverse experiences.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Energy & Metabolism: Supports mitochondrial function to convert food into energy more efficiently.
- Cognitive Support: Helps maintain mental clarity and brain health as NAD+ levels naturally decline with age.
- Faster Recovery: Aids in muscle repair and athletic output, making it popular for post-workout recovery. Cellular Resilience: Promotes DNA repair and protects against agerelated cellular damage
Why Niagen vs. NAD+?
When receiving NAD+ therapy, the active form of NAD+ is injected directly into your bloodstream.
However, high concentrations of NAD+ are not naturally present in the body, so this may cause adverse experiences, such as headaches and nausea. Since NR is a natural precursor to NAD+ that is converted naturally, Niagen (NR) has been shown to provide 20% higher levels of NAD+ at the 3-hour mark compared to baseline, with fewer adverse experiences.
