Recently I posted an article on Nicotinamide Riboside
Here is a quick recap of Nicotinamide Riboside
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a form of vitamin B3 and a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a vital coenzyme involved in energy production, cellular repair, and mitochondrial function. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to fatigue, metabolic issues, and age-related diseases. NR has gained attention for its ability to safely and effectively raise NAD+ levels in the body, supporting healthy aging, brain function, and cardiovascular health.
Human studies show that NR is well-tolerated and may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, although more research is needed to confirm its long-term benefits in disease prevention and longevity.
While researching I was shocked to watch a video on Youtube that wen’t through scam products, now I thought sure some will probably say they have more of the substance than they actually do but the sheer quantity of them and the fact that some had ZERO Nicotinamide Riboside in them, well that really surprised me.
Here is a screenshot – showing the brands, it is noticeable for me that a few are silly high claims – 1500mg and makes me wonder if they are made in the same factory

Now these were lab tested – as you can see the bottom ones in red are frankly an utter disgrace and the obvious statement is if you are t hing about a supplement for Nicotinamide Riboside – avoid these, vote with your wallets.
Also if these brands make any other ones – maybe steer clear if this is how dishonest they are

I’d embed it but don’t want to take traffic away and know what a pain in the ar*e Youtube can be for creators
Advice
When it comes to supplements, avoiding scams is crucial for both your health and your wallet. Many products on the market make exaggerated claims—promising rapid weight loss, miracle cures, or anti-aging effects without scientific backing.
To steer clear of scams, look for supplements that are third-party tested (e.g., NSF, USP, or ConsumerLab certified), have transparent ingredient lists, and are manufactured by reputable companies.
Avoid products that use terms like “clinically proven” without citing actual research or those sold through aggressive, fear-based marketing. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, and remember—if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
