HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) by GenuinePurity

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: nicotinamide riboside (also known as NR). It's a compound related to niacin (vitamin B3) that your body uses to support cellular energy and other functions.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, a phospholipid complex, silicon dioxide, and stearate — that help hold the supplement together and make it easier to swallow.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Nicotinamide Riboside's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Healthy aging and cellular energy support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Physical performance, Heart failure, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Diabetes — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Nicotinamide Riboside is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Nicotinamide Riboside is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Heart failure, Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, and more.

The evidence for nicotinamide riboside isn't established yet for the conditions we've reviewed. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or heart failure.

If you're considering this supplement for one of those reasons, talk with your doctor about what the current science actually shows and whether it makes sense for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Nicotinamide Riboside

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Nicotinamide riboside appears generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety data is limited. The most common side effects reported in clinical trials were bloating, muscle pain, nausea, itching, sweating, and changes in bowel movements — usually mild and temporary.

One person in a trial reported leg cramps. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, since there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe in those situations.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Nicotinamide Riboside.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 172 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any blood pressure medication (antihypertensive drugs), check it with the search tool before taking nicotinamide riboside. The interaction is rated Minor, but it's the only documented medication concern with this ingredient.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is nicotinamide riboside and what does it do?
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a compound related to niacin, a B vitamin. Your body uses it to support cellular energy and other functions. It's been studied for various age-related and metabolic conditions, but the evidence isn't firm enough to recommend it for any of them yet.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it during those times and talk with your doctor if you're thinking about it.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common ones reported in trials were mild and temporary: bloating, muscle pain, nausea, itching, sweating, and changes in bowel movements. One person reported leg cramps. Most people tolerate it well in the short term, but long-term safety data is still limited.
Does nicotinamide riboside actually work for age-related problems like macular degeneration or Alzheimer disease?
The evidence isn't established yet. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, fatty liver disease, or heart failure. Talk with your doctor about what research actually supports before starting it.
Will this lower my blood pressure?
One small study suggested nicotinamide riboside can modestly lower blood pressure, but other research didn't find that effect. If you take blood pressure medication, there's a Minor risk that nicotinamide riboside could add to its effect, so check with your pharmacist first.
