How do Niagen NR treatments differ from NAD+ treatments?
Delivery Method: Both treatments support cellular health by boosting NAD+ levels, but they differ in how they do it. Niagen NR (nicotinamide riboside) is a natural precursor to NAD+ that is more efficiently converted into NAD+ through natural enzymatic pathways, supporting the body's natural NAD+ production.
Treatment Experience: NAD+ IV treatments can sometimes be intense, especially at higher doses. They may cause discomfort during infusion, such as chest tightness, flushing, or nausea. In contrast, Niagen NR treatments—whether through IV or injection—are typically much gentler and better tolerated.
Side Effects: Most people experience fewer or milder side effects with Niagen NR compared to direct NAD+ infusions. That makes NR a good option for those who are sensitive to NAD+ or want to support NAD+ levels with less discomfort.
Onset and Effectiveness: Niagen NR are clinically proven to boost NAD+ levels in the body by 20% within 3 hours. IV Therapy and injection treatments converts NR into usable NAD+, leading to a more sustained increase in NAD+ levels and longer-lasting benefits because it helps the body produce its own NAD+.
