NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)
Last updated
Another NAD+ precursor, which is converted to NAD+ through a different pathway than NMN.
Why it matters here
Like NMN, it is filed under the NAD+ Boosting / Precursor Peptides record rather than carrying a page of its own. The different conversion route is why the two are not interchangeable in a study.
What it is not
Not NAD+ itself, and not the same molecule as NMN. The two reach NAD+ by different routes.
Also called
- nicotinamide riboside
- nicotinamide-riboside
