Tru Niagen NAD+

NAD+

Tru Niagen® contains nicotinamide riboside chloride, which contributes to the formation of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ is a coenzyme found in all human cells that we cannot live without. It is required, among other things, for the functioning of mitochondria. Tru Niagen contributes to energy production in the body, maintaining normal mucous membranes, and also maintaining normal skin. Tru Niagen also helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion and supports the normal function of the nervous system. Research shows that two weeks of Tru Niagen intake increases NAD+ levels in the body by 51%.

NAD+ is needed to convert what we eat into energy, and it also contributes to the formation of various proteins that, in turn, contribute to cell repair. Unfortunately, the body's production of NAD+ decreases by 50% between the ages of 40 and 60, which leads to impaired cell function and aging. This means that we age. We are no younger than the health of our cells, the health of our mitochondria, and the health of our gut flora. NAD+ is one of the most important molecules currently being researched to counteract aging and contribute to health. The body also uses NAD+ to counteract oxidative stress and free radicals. Animals given NAD+ show cell rejuvenation and cell repair in the animals.

NAD+, NMN & Vitamin B3

Another precursor to NAD+ is NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), but NMN does not increase NAD+ to the same extent as Tru Niagen, and currently, Tru Niagen is the safest supplement to increase NAD+ in the body's cells.

Tru Niagen stimulates much more and more effective formation of NAD+ than both vitamin B3 in the form of niacin and vitamin B3 in the form of niacinamide. Vitamin B3 is needed for other functions in the body, but when it comes to the formation of NAD+, there is nothing better than Tru Niagen with nicotinamide riboside chloride. Niacin is converted to niacinamide. High doses of vitamin B3 in the form of niacin can cause a so-called flush where the skin becomes flushed. However, this does not happen with niacinamide or Tru Niagen.
