HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pure NR by DoNotAge.org

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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, a form of vitamin B3 that your cells use to make energy and support various repair processes. The capsule itself is made with cellulose, an inert filler.

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, Cellular vitality, NAD+ metabolism, Longevity.
  • 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 Physical performance.

The evidence for nicotinamide riboside isn't established yet for most conditions we have data on. For age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and heart failure, the research is too limited or conflicting to rate whether it works.

We're holding insufficient evidence for all of these.

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 is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety isn't fully known. The most common side effects reported are mild: bloating, muscle pain, nausea, itching, sweating, and temporary changes in bowel habits.

One person in a trial reported leg cramps, and some have noted mild muscle soreness. Gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and indigestion have been reported with combination products containing nicotinamide riboside, though it's unclear whether nicotinamide riboside alone caused those.

There isn't enough safety data in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so the safety data advises against use in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

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 your exact medications with the tool below — nicotinamide riboside may theoretically add to their blood pressure-lowering effect.

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, nicotinamide riboside may have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs, potentially increasing the risk for hypotension.
One small clinical study suggests that nicotinamide riboside can modestly reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. However, other clinical research did not find a reduction in blood pressure when compared with control.

Pure NR by DoNotAge.org: Common Questions

Does Pure NR by DoNotAge.org interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pure NR has a known interaction with 172 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pure 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 is a form of vitamin B3 that your cells use to create energy and support repair processes in your body. It's different from the niacin you might know from a standard B-complex; your body converts it into a molecule called NAD+ that's involved in aging and metabolism.
Does this product actually work for any of the conditions it's marketed for?
The evidence isn't established yet. The research on nicotinamide riboside for age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and heart failure is too limited to say whether it works, so we rate all of these as insufficient evidence.
Is nicotinamide riboside safe to take long-term?
Short-term studies show it's generally well tolerated, but long-term safety data is missing. That's something to keep in mind if you're thinking about taking this for months or years — talk with your pharmacist about what we know and don't know.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way, so the safety data advises against use in both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Have a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation before starting.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common ones are mild: bloating, muscle pain or soreness, nausea, itching, sweating, and temporary changes in your bowel habits. One person reported leg cramps in a trial. Stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or indigestion have been reported with combination products, though it's unclear if nicotinamide riboside alone caused those.
Are there any inactive ingredients or fillers I should know about?
The capsule is made with cellulose, which is an inert filler that helps hold the supplement together.
