Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride Description
Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NIAGEN) is the chloride salt form of nicotinamide riboside(NR). NR is a new form of pyridine-nucleoside of vitamin B3 that functions as a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD) or NAD+. NIAGEN is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in the United States for use in food products.
Nicotinamide riboside chloride is a crystal form of Nicotinamide riboside (NR) chloride. Nicotinamide riboside chloride increases NAD[+] levels and activates SIRT1 and SIRT3, culminating in enhanced oxidative metabolism and protection against high-fat diet-induced metabolic abnormalities. Nicotinamide riboside chloride is used in dietary supplements.
