Description

Nicotinamide Riboside is a unique and bioavailable form of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) and a direct precursor to the essential coenzyme Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+). This compound matters for its critical role in supporting cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and healthy aging processes. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and research sectors for formulating dietary supplements, clinical nutrition products, and advanced life science research reagents.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in capsules, tablets, and powders targeting cellular health, energy support, and longevity.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of novel therapeutics focused on metabolic disorders and age-related conditions.
• Clinical Nutrition: Incorporated into medical food formulations and specialized nutritional products.
• Life Science Research: Essential as a reagent in biochemical studies investigating NAD+ biology, sirtuin activation, and mitochondrial function.
• Cosmeceuticals: Explored for inclusion in advanced skincare formulations aimed at improving skin cell vitality and resilience.
• Animal Nutrition: Used in premium feed additives for performance and wellness applications in companion and livestock animals.

Quality Control

Our Nicotinamide Riboside is produced under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for nutraceutical and research applications, with testing aligned with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every batch to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture.
