Nicotinamide Riboside Helps Protect Nerve Fibers During Chemotherapy and Enhances Paclitaxel’s Tumor-suppressing Effects in Animal Models
Nicotinamide Riboside Helps Protect Nerve Fibers During Chemotherapy and Enhances Paclitaxel’s Tumor-suppressing Effects in Animal Models

Raising NAD+ levels with nicotinamide riboside has been shown, in animal models, to reduce pain resulting from the cancer treating drug therapy paclitaxel. When administered to rodents in combination with paclitaxel, NR also helped to further decrease tumor growth, suggesting NR may enhance the drug’s tumor-suppressing effects.
