●Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride Promotes Healthy Ageing
The NAD+ activated by Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride within the body activates specific enzymes linked with healthy ageing. One such enzyme is sirtuins, which has been linked with overall improved life and lifespan in animals. Scientific studies have proved that sirtuins improve life quality and longevity by reducing inflammation, enhancing the benefits associated with calorie restriction and repairing the damaged DNA. The NAD+ activated by Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride also activates Poly polymerases which are known to repair damaged DNA. Further, several scientific studies have linked the activity of polymerases with an enhanced lifespan.
●It Reduces One's Chances of Developing Heart Diseases
Ageing also increases one's chances of developing heart diseases. As people advance in age, their blood vessels become thicker and rigid, which in turn, leads to increased blood pressure. When the blood pressure within the vessels increases, the heart has to work doubly harder to pump the blood, which leads to various heart diseases. The NAD+ provided by Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride reverses the age-related changes caused to blood vessels. There is ample scientific evidence to prove that Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD+ does not only reduce blood vessel stiffness but also regulates the systolic blood pressure.
●Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride Also Provides Protection to Brain Cells
Nicotinamide Riboside protects brain cells. A study conducted on mice revealed that NR-induced production of NAD+ increased the production of PGC-1 alpha protein by up to 50%. The PGC-1 alpha protein helps protect brain cells against oxidative stress and also improves mitochondrial function. It is, thus, that NR consumption in humans protects against age-induced brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. One particular research study studied the effect of NAD+ levels on people suffering from Parkinson's. The study concluded that NAD+ improved mitochondrial function in stem cells.
●Other Key Benefits of Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride
Other than the benefits discussed above, here are a few more additional benefits associated with Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride.
NR is known to enhance muscle strength, function and endurance and therefore, NR consumption is linked with better athletic performance.
As discussed above, NR-induced production of NAD+ repairs damaged DNA and provides protection against oxidative stress. This, in turn, reduces one's chances of developing cancer.
A study analyzed the effect of Nicotinamide Riboside on metabolism in mice. The study concluded that NR increased metabolism in mice. Though more scientific proof is needed regarding this, many scientists believe that Nicotinamide Riboside would have a similar effect on humans and therefore, should be helpful with weight loss.
