The Premier NAD+ Precursor: SRBio Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Chloride
SRBio Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a high-purity, crystalline form of vitamin B3 that serves as a potent precursor to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential coenzyme for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and metabolic regulation. As the body’s NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, supplementation with NR has emerged as a leading strategy to support healthy aging, mitochondrial function, and cognitive vitality. Our NR is produced through proprietary enzymatic synthesis, delivering ≥99.0% purity with exceptional stability and bioavailability.
Key Value Propositions:
✓ ≥99.0% HPLC-Verified Purity – Exceeds industry standards
✓ Proprietary Enzymatic Synthesis – Solvent-free, sustainable production
✓ Full Regulatory Support – GRAS, Novel Food dossiers available

Scientific Evidence: Mechanism & Clinical Efficacy
1. NAD+ Elevation & Cellular Energy
-
Mechanism of Action: Nicotinamide Riboside is a unique NAD+ precursor that enters cells via specific transporters and is converted to NAD+ through the salvage pathway. NAD+ is essential for:
-
Mitochondrial Function: Serves as a coenzyme for redox reactions in the electron transport chain, driving ATP production.
-
Sirtuin Activation: Activates sirtuins (SIRT1–7), longevity proteins that regulate cellular health, stress resistance, and metabolism.
-
PARP Activity: Required for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes that repair DNA damage.
-
-
Clinical Outcomes:
-
↑40–60% increase in whole-blood NAD+ levels after 4–8 weeks of NR supplementation (500–1000 mg/day) – Human clinical trials.
-
Enhanced mitochondrial oxidative capacity and cellular energy production.
-
2. Healthy Aging & Longevity Support
-
Mechanism: NAD+ decline is a hallmark of aging. By replenishing NAD+ levels, NR supports multiple pathways implicated in the aging process:
-
Mitochondrial Biogenesis: Activates PGC-1α, promoting the generation of new, healthy mitochondria.
-
Autophagy: Supports cellular cleaning processes that remove damaged components.
-
Inflammation Modulation: Redox regulation and sirtuin activation help control chronic low-grade inflammation.
-
-
Clinical Outcomes:
-
Improved muscle function and walking speed in older adults.
-
Reduced markers of inflammation (TNF-α, IL-6) in clinical studies.
-
Enhanced insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.
-
3. Cognitive & Neuroprotective Benefits
-
Mechanism: Neurons have high energy demands and are vulnerable to NAD+ decline. NR supports:
-
Neuronal Energy Metabolism: Maintains ATP levels for synaptic transmission and plasticity.
-
DNA Repair in Neurons: Supports PARP activity to repair oxidative DNA damage.
-
Mitochondrial Health in Brain Cells: Protects against mitochondrial dysfunction implicated in neurodegenerative diseases.
-
-
Clinical Outcomes:
-
Improved cognitive performance and memory in animal models.
-
Reduced markers of neurodegeneration in preclinical studies.
-
Ongoing human trials for Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment.
-
4. Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health
-
Mechanism: NR improves metabolic parameters through NAD+-dependent mechanisms:
-
Sirtuin-Mediated Effects: Enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis.
-
Lipid Metabolism: Influences cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
-
Vascular Function: Supports endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity, improving blood flow.
-
-
Clinical Outcomes:
-
Reduced blood pressure and arterial stiffness in clinical trials.
-
Improved lipid profiles (↓ LDL, ↑ HDL) in some studies.
-
Enhanced exercise performance and recovery.
