Nicotinamide Riboside (NR): The Spark Behind Cellular Energy and Longevity

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR): The Spark Behind Cellular Energy and Longevity

When it comes to cellular health and longevity, one molecule stands at the centre of scientific research and innovation: Nicotinamide Riboside (NR).

At CAMINO®, we’re driven by the science of how the body renews and repairs itself and NR is one of the most exciting breakthroughs in that space.

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a unique, next-generation form of vitamin B3 (niacin). It’s found naturally in small amounts in foods like milk and yeast, but at levels far too low to provide measurable benefits.

In supplement form, NR has gained attention for one key reason its ability to boost levels of NAD+, a molecule essential to life itself.

To understand NR, you need to know about NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

NAD+ is the fuel that powers your cells — it enables your mitochondria (the cell’s “power plants”) to convert food into energy (ATP). It’s also vital for DNA repair, gene expression, and cellular communication.

However, NAD+ levels decline sharply with age from your 30’s, dropping by as much as 50% by middle age. This decline is linked to fatigue, reduced cellular repair, and visible signs of ageing.

That’s where NR comes in. Once inside the body, NR acts as a precursor, meaning it’s converted directly into NAD+. By raising NAD+ levels naturally, NR helps:

•    Support cellular energy production

•    Promote DNA repair and healthy ageing

•    Enhance mitochondrial function

•    Activate sirtuins – longevity-related proteins that regulate metabolism and cell health

•    Combat oxidative stress and inflammation

In essence, NR helps your cells perform as though they were younger and more resilient.

At CAMINO®, our philosophy is simple, follow the science, use only the most effective ingredients, and never compromise on purity. We don’t chase trends. We craft formulations that reflect where science is heading and NR is leading the way.

We include clinically validated NR at 300 mg in our Premium Vitality Capsules because it’s one of the most rigorously studied molecules in the field of cellular longevity.

NR has been shown in peer-reviewed studies to safely elevate NAD+ levels, support muscle and brain energy metabolism, and improve markers of metabolic and mitochondrial health.

Combined with Coenzyme Q10 and MonaJuventa™ Nu, NR forms part of a synergistic trio designed to target the key hallmarks of ageing — supporting repair, renewal, and energy from within.
