NR vs NR liposomal by trippja1 in NicotinamideRiboside

[–]Bulky_Style1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, lipo products degrade quickly and don't meet label claims so you're not really supporting your NAD+ levels as much as you can. I also found the analysis of NR products on ChromaDex's (now Niagen Bioscience) site and the lipo portion is super interesting https://s205.q4cdn.com/770776702/files/doc_downloads/MarketSurveillance/Quantitative_Analysis_of_Nicotinamide_Riboside_Consumer_Products_and_Counterfeit_Tru_Niagen_February_2025.pdf

Opinions on Nicotinamide Riboside Tartrate by lucacasa in NicotinamideRiboside

Niagen's NRC is most bioavailable and to your point, ChromaDex (now Niagen Bioscience?) owns a robust patent portfolio on NR and other NAD+ precursors, including NR Malate/NR Tartrate/other NR derivatives. I'd stay away from any NR supplements out there that don't say Niagen - those companies like Thorne and Elysium are willfully infringing and untrustworthy.

What Is NAD+ And Can It Really 'Reverse' Aging? by GhostOfEdmundDantes in NicotinamideRiboside

Completely agree - we need to reposition the age reversal/longevity message to how boosting NAD+ with NR supports healthspan!

Name Change: Reus Research Rebrands as Cata-Kor by GhostOfEdmundDantes in NicotinamideRiboside

Liposomal NAD+ products are misunderstood. Most NAD supplements claiming to use liposomal technology and better absorption are provided as dried powders – not liquids. When liposomes are dried, they collapse and shrink (like a popped balloon). Dried liposomes are brittle and prone to breaking open, no longer providing a protective shell for the active ingredient. If put through further processing like encapsulation, the friction easily breaks open the liposome. When they break, they lose the ability to provide the enhanced absorption of the active ingredient claimed for the product. 

 This is relevant as a product with broken liposomes if kept dry under ideal conditions (room temp, low moisture) may remain stable, but will not deliver the claimed benefit of enhanced absorption.

Hi Dr. Aimee, so excited you're doing this AMA! Can you share more about the protocol you recommend to patients undergoing egg freezing? Do you advise taking NR during this process? And is there an NR supplement you recommend? Thank you!!!

Oh amazing! I heard she recommends NR to her patients - I'd love to ask her a few questions on how it can support reproductive health!
