Frequently Asked Questions
NR or NMN?
Both are NAD+ precursors. NiaCel uses NR, and it's the one I reach for first. Ask me if you're weighing other forms.
When should I take it?
One capsule a day. I usually have people take it in the morning, with or without food.
Is it okay for athletes who get tested?
It carries NSF Certified for Sport, which Thorne lists on the product. Your sport's own rules still apply, so check with them.
