More than IV drips of NAD+, more than NMN, or NR, and it's not even a close race. Nicotinic Acid raises intracellular NAD+ up to 800%, more than any other tested precursor, supporting mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular resilience.
In a clinical study of patients with adult-onset mitochondrial myopathy, nicotinic acid supplementation (750–1,000 mg/day) restored blood and muscle NAD+ levels up to 8-fold (8X), improved mitochondrial function, and enhanced physical performance. This study highlights niacin's role in restoring systemic NAD+ and improving energy metabolism. Pirinen et al., Cell Metabolism (2020)
NAD+ is central to cellular energy and repair, and multiple vitamin B3 derivatives can raise its levels.
