Identity
NR chloride
The precise form is named, which matters when comparing label amounts and research.
Inside the formula
Nicotinamide riboside is a vitamin B3-related compound used as a precursor in NAD+ metabolism. The label identifies the chloride form and the amount per capsule.
Identity
The precise form is named, which matters when comparing label amounts and research.
Purpose
NR participates in NAD+ biosynthesis; it is not a source of instant energy.
Evidence
Human trials support changes in NAD+-related measures more clearly than broad anti-aging outcomes.

The NAD+ precursor
β-Nicotinamide riboside chloride
What it is: NR is a nicotinamide nucleoside that can enter the NAD+ salvage pathway after conversion inside the body.
Evidence context: A randomized trial in healthy middle-aged and older adults found oral NR was tolerated and increased NAD+-related metabolites. Broader outcomes were exploratory.
A single-active capsule allows NR to be evaluated on its own rather than obscured inside a blend.

An inactive carrier that helps achieve a consistent fill.
The plant-derived shell that contains the powder.
The formulation rationale
Named form + declared dose: The chloride form and 500mg amount make comparisons more meaningful than a generic “NAD booster” claim.
Precursor + metabolism: NR must be metabolized through the body’s own pathways; the capsule does not contain NAD+ itself.
Biomarkers + restraint: The strongest direct human signal is NAD+-related biomarker change, not proven lifespan extension.
