NR increases NAD+ levels to prevent, delay, or improve NAD+ dependent ageing mechanisms influencing the seven diseases of aging. NR is one of the most researched and well understood NAD+ precursors (along with NMN), with multiple clinical trials demonstrating its action across multiple body systems.

NAD+ is an essential redox coenzyme central to energy production, metabolic homeostasis and mitochondrial energy metabolism, and the required substrate for sirtuin activity, where benefits depend on optimal NAD+.
As NAD+ naturally declines with age, driven by factors including oxidative stress, inflammation, metabolic stress and DNA damage, maintaining optimal levels supports the hundreds of enzymatic reactions and pathways that depend on it, from energy metabolism and DNA repair to mitochondrial function, biogenesis and overall homeostasis.

When selecting a nicotinamide riboside (NR) product, key factors include clinical research on the raw material, clinical dosing, purity, excipient profile and manufacturing standards. Unlike herbal ingredients, which are complex and vary significantly across the many different grades available, single nutrients are far simpler to assess. Source and quality are still essential, but they are much easier to control and verify. If a material is authenticated and genuinely pure, the body can be expected to respond the same way regardless of supplier or brand name. Where this cannot be confirmed, the supplier and manufacturing process become critical.

The key questions to ask are: Is it pure? Has every batch been independently tested to confirm this? Is it free from impurities? Is it the correct isomer, where relevant? Is it stable over time and in combination with other ingredients?

NR is commonly supplied as cheaper material that is not authenticated, contains impurities and degrades over time, meaning the amount stated on the label may be far lower by the time you take it. That's why we choose UthGene™ NR, a premium quality, batch verified and authenticated NR, from the same trusted source behind our Uthever™ NMN. 
This product has been specifically developed for practitioner use and compounding, with:

• NR 300 Features branded UthGene™ NR, from the same trusted source behind our Uthever® NMN. 
• It is the same NR Give Back Health introduced to the Australian market.
• Every batch is 100% pure, verified and authenticated for NR content.
• Manufactured in an Australian TGA-licensed GMP facility to ensure consistent quality.

• Comprehensive third-party testing for potency, purity and contaminants.
• Minimal excipients, no unnecessary fillers or additives. NR 300 is a clean formula with only the necessary excipients added as a requirement of the manufacturing process. Even our capsules are the cleanest available, made from hypromellose derived from sustainably sourced pine trees.
  

This product is designed to offer clinicians peace of mind and patients better outcomes, supporting targeted use in a range of clinical applications.

No major interactions. NR is well tolerated in clinical trials.

• Not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation.

At Give Back Health, we follow a conservative risk/benefit approach and recommend healthcare practitioners assess use on a case-by-case basis, depending on individual patient needs, context and response to treatment.

NR has been reported by the expert scientific ESFA panel as being safe for use during pregnancy and lactation up to 230 mg. As the dose contained in NR 300 is higher than the reportedly safe amount for use in pregnancy and lactation, we recommend to avoid use.

Take 1 capsule daily.

Listed medicines are restricted to 300 mg of NR as the maximum daily dose (1 capsule of NR 300).

The common range for NR as per the clinical trials is between 300 mg – 1,000 mg per day. It is generally well tolerated at these levels, and benefits are shown to be dose dependent (the higher the dose, the better the results).

Results are generally seen within 1-2 weeks, with further improvement by 6-12 weeks.

Give Back Health Clinic Collection NR 300 is manufactured and tested in TGA-registered GMP facilities here in Australia, ensuring high standards of quality, safety and efficacy. Every product, every batch, with no exceptions. This means the included ingredients are what they claim to be and the products are therefore more likely to have an actual therapeutic impact. This process also prevents counterfeit and adulterated materials from entering the market. While it adds significantly to our costs, we believe this level of integrity should be the industry standard. Please note that we absorb the extra expense ourselves; it is not passed on to you.

We use UthGene™ NR by EffePharm, an established leader in the NAD+ precursor space and the same trusted source behind our Uthever® NMN. It is the same NR Give Back Health introduced to the Australian market. The NR we use is the chloride form (nicotinamide riboside chloride) as this is the only one approved by the TGA for use in Australia. Additionally, it is vegan and 100% pure medicine-grade NR. It is a highly targeted, premium quality and clinically trialled active ingredient which we believe should be the standard in our industry.

We use gold-standard Capsugel® Vcaps® plus capsules from Lonza, widely considered the cleanest on the market. Unlike many capsules that contain gelatine or unnecessary additives like sodium lauryl sulphate, ours are made from just one ingredient: plant-based hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) (AKA hypromellose), derived from sustainably sourced pine trees. That’s it. These capsules are vegan, non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher and Halal certified, and Vegetarian Society approved.

Give Back Health Clinic Collection NR 300 is most commonly used alongside our NMN, MagRegulate®, MagSleep®, Lion's Mane Premium Organic, RejuveGen® and Multi VMN for additional support, depending on clinical goals.

The Maximum recommended dose that can be recommended for listed medicines for NR is 300 mg (1 capsule of NR 300). The common range for NR as per the clinical trials is between 300 mg – 1,000 mg per day. It is generally well tolerated at these levels, and benefits are shown to be dose dependent (the higher the dose, the better the results).

NMN and NR are both NAD+ precursors with different metabolic processes. Where NMN needs to be converted to NR before entering the cell, NR can cross directly via equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs), where it is then converted to NMN via nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK) enzymes 1 & 2 inside the cell, where it can then be used to produce NAD+.

Both have been shown to increase NAD+ levels and benefit various body systems.

See NMN VS NR Research Highlights for a complete overview of both these NAD+ precursors.

Yes. 300 mg per day of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a safe dose for long term use.

NR 300 can be prescribed for children over 12 years of age where deemed appropriate by a healthcare practitioner.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential molecule that plays a critical role in almost every metabolic process in the body. Through its roles as a cofactor, electron donor and signalling molecule, NAD+ is essential for many biological processes. These include ATP synthesis, DNA repair, secondary messenger signalling, epigenetic regulation of gene expression and cell survival. NAD+ naturally declines with age. The gradual decline of NAD+ concentrations takes place across multiple human organs and tissues, including skin, blood, liver, muscles and brain. Reduced concentration of NAD+ results in suboptimal functioning of the NAD+ dependent pathways. This in turn results in an increase in issues relating to metabolic function, inflammation, senescence and degeneration of the nervous system. When NAD+ dependent mechanisms are compromised, diseases of ageing are then more likely to occur. By increasing NAD+ and therefore increasing the activity of the NAD-dependent processes, we can help prevent, delay or improve the NAD+ mechanisms of ageing. In doing so, we can prevent, delay or improve the seven diseases of ageing.
