As stated in the immediately prior thread I posted, my wife and I take 300 mg a day of Niagen, the major manufacturer of nicotinamide riboside.

It offers many benefits for aging skin since it is also a skin-restoring ingredient. It has the ability to enhance the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, weakened skin surface, and dullness, among others.

Looking at this article and others... this supplement is a little pricey and promises just about everything with few if any side effects:

Easily Converted Into NAD+
Activates Enzymes That May Promote Healthy Aging
May Help Protect Brain Cells
May Lower Heart Disease Risk
May aid weight loss
May lower cancer risk
May help treat jet lag
May promote healthy muscle aging

My problem with this is that I am skeptical of unproven supplements that promise so much and are a bit on the pricey side. There are so many other supplements that make the same types of claims. That is why the dietary supplement “industry” has grown to a $40 Billion dollar a year snake oil type enterprise. Everyone wants to believe that they can take a magic pill that will make them healthier and live longer. 99% of the time they do less than the health benefits from an inexpensive but reputable multivitamin.

Hmmm... If I can get some, maybe I will make it to my target of 107... Hang the cost, I’ll take the 20 years...

[uzumaki_naruto]

There are cheaper alternatives. I don’t want to make any recommendations though but search at Amazon.

This story is dated April 2016. Is there updated information?

bump for reference

I learned about this several years ago, and did some serious research on it, as the price gave me heartburn. I am still taking it, going on three years, and I have to say it’s one of the few supplements I take, and it’s subtle, buy my high blood pressure lowered itself, and I’m no longer on meds. My cholesterol is now half of what it had been, without any diet changes. Also, I take another supplement, which is a chemically altered form of CoQ10, called Ubiquinol, which has served me well. It has been said at high doses of Ubiquinol, the effects of arteriosclerosis can be somewhat reversed. Between the Ubiquinol, and atorvastatin, my doc tells me he believes my heart is now doing much better than it had been (CHF).
