A vitamin that stops the aging process of organs (Nicotinamide riboside)
Journal of Science/MedicalXPress ^ | Apr 28, 2016 | Hongbo Zhang et al

Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is pretty amazing. It has already been shown in several studies to be effective in boosting metabolism....

As mice, like all mammals, age, the regenerative capacity of certain organs (such as the liver and kidneys) and muscles (including the heart) diminishes. Their ability to repair them following an injury is also affected. This leads to many of the disorders typical of aging.

Under normal conditions, these stem cells, reacting to signals sent by the body, regenerate damaged organs by producing new specific cells. At least in young bodies.

This is why the researchers wanted to "revitalize" stem cells in the muscles of elderly mice. And they did so by precisely targeting the molecules that help the mitochondria to function properly. "We gave nicotinamide riboside to 2-year-old mice, which is an advanced age for them," said the researcher. "This substance, which is close to vitamin B3, is a precursor of NAD+, a molecule that plays a key role in mitochondrial activity. And our results are extremely promising: muscular regeneration is much better in mice that received NR, and they lived longer than the mice that didn't get it."

A breakthrough for regenerative medicine

Parallel studies have revealed a comparable effect on stem cells of the brain and skin. "This work could have very important implications in the field of regenerative medicine," said Auwerx. "We are not talking about introducing foreign substances into the body but rather restoring the body's ability to repair itself with a product that can be taken with food." This work on the aging process also has potential for treating diseases that can affect - and be fatal - in young people, like muscular dystrophy (myopathy).

So far, no negative side effects have been observed following the use of NR, even at high doses.

It's the nicotine component that does the trick. I'm getting plenty of it!😎

Will it help fix the prostate gland? I’ll buy a truckload of it if it does.

I went to my Niacin health group on FB and the sense seems to be that it’s really no better than the flushing Niacin I’m already taking 3000mg per day. That stuff is cheap. Will be sticking with that. Love those flushes 😂♥️

I have posted a prior article or two in the past couple years. It doesn’t cause overnight success, but a study was done in South America in which they gave it to both mice and men with liver and pancreatic cancer and it was able to resolve some of those cancers.

That study is one I posted and why we gave Niagen to my relative. He had gotten his CT scan and one and a half months later they rescanned him the day before the scheduled surgery and it was completely gone. It was a nearly two inch tumor on his liver.

Well, as Johnny Carson once joked, “after 150 there’s not much left to do!”

Can you tell me where from/how you get your Niagen - in private reply if you want.

We get it at $1.13 pet 300 mg capsule under Amazon Prime with five or more subscriptions sent in a month. This is the reference to look up:

TRU NIAGEN NAD+ Booster for Cellular Repair & Energy Metabolism (Nicotinamide Riboside) - 300mg Vegetarian Capsules, 300mg Per Serving - 90 Day Bottle

You may be able to find it at other sites, but this works best for us, due to having four or more other subscriptions filled in that same month.
