Thorne NiaCel 400 — the NAD+ precursor with the most human data
NAD+ is the coenzyme every mitochondrion runs on, and levels fall steadily with age, stress and poor sleep. Nicotinamide riboside is the NAD+ precursor with the strongest human absorption and safety data. NiaCel 400 delivers 415 mg of NR as the hydrogen malate salt plus 85 mg of trimethylglycine, the methyl donor that keeps NR metabolism from draining your methylation reserves.
Who I reach for it with: the over-40 energy decline; athletic recovery and performance; healthy-aging protocols; anyone who wants an NAD+ precursor with NSF Certified for Sport testing behind it.
What makes it different: NR rather than NMN — better absorbed orally, more human trials; TMG built in; NSF Certified for Sport, so it's clean for athletes.
Protocol fit: pairs with Thorne Creatine for the cellular-energy stack and with Ubiquinol for mitochondrial support. Pure Encapsulations NR Longevity adds resveratrol and sulforaphane; Designs for Health Liposomal NMN is the liquid NMN alternative.
FAQ — NR or NMN? NR has more human absorption data and is what I reach for first; NMN is the alternative for people who prefer it.
FAQ — When should I take it? Morning with or without food.
