An autism model developed in male mice supplemented with nicotinamide riboside (NR) was found to have restored levels of the neurotransmitter oxytocin and improved social behavior.
New preclinical research shared on scientific publishing website bioRxiv.org has demonstrated that increasing NAD+ levels can boost the activity of protective enzymes called PARPs and reduce coronavirus replication in a mouse cell model.
Innate immunity is the body’s first line of defense against infection which is why this powerful security system needs all the fuel it can get. One cellular energy carrier critical to this process is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+).

Just like our planet is mustering up the resources to fight the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, so too do our cells need energy to support cellular repair. NAD+ may hold the key to supporting cellular resilience in the face of immune stress, like viral infections.

The heart is a hard-working muscle. Each day it beats approximately 100,000 times without any breaks. It’s been estimated that over the course of an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.

You spend enough time reading up on B3 vitamins, you’ll inevitably come across a bunch of terms that start with methyl: methyl group, methyl donor, methylation. But before you get caught up in the hype surrounding the potential dangers of methyl donor depletion, it’s worth learning more about the existing research around B3 vitamins and methylation.

A clinical study conducted at the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University Hospital and the University of Iowa has provided the first human evidence of the potential for nicotinamide riboside (NR) to improve human health in obesity.
Read MoreHeart failure is a common and devastating chronic disease that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to support all the body’s organs. While some medications are available to treat heart failure, there is no cure. Half of all heart failure patients die within five years of receiving their diagnosis.
