What is Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) – and Why Does It Matter?

Key Takeaways:

  • Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a form of Vitamin B3 and a direct precursor to NAD+ – a molecule essential for healthy cellular function.

  • NR is found in trace amounts in foods like dairy but is far more effective when taken in supplemental form.

  • Clinical studies show that NR supplementation can increase NAD+ levels and promote energy, DNA repair, and healthy aging.

Why we built Bevivo Elevate on NR

Bevivo Elevate is formulated with 300 mg of high-quality Nicotinamide Riboside, because it's one of the most efficient and studied ways to restore NAD+ levels in the body.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is like fuel for your cells – vital for energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular maintenance. But as you age, NAD+ levels decline significantly, contributing to tiredness, slower recovery, skin aging, and reduced metabolic health.

 

Enter NR, the premium precursor that your body uses to rebuild NAD+ naturally. Think of it as the fastest route to your destination – bypassing unnecessary steps that other precursors require. This makes NR especially powerful and efficient.

A brief history: From food fortification to Longevity

NR is part of the Vitamin B3 family, alongside nicotinic acid (niacin) and nicotinamide. While all B3 variants can support NAD+ production, NR has shown unique promise due to its direct and efficient conversion into NAD+.

 

Historically, vitamin B3 played a vital role in curing pellagra, a deadly deficiency disease. That’s why B3 is now added to staples like flour and rice around the world. But while those forms may meet basic needs, they don’t deliver the NAD+ support needed to counteract aging.

 

 

In 2004, researchers discovered NR’s superior potential to increase NAD+ levels, setting off a new wave of longevity-focused science. Soon after, clinical trials confirmed its safety and effectiveness – and opened the door for targeted supplementation.

 

How NR works in your body

Once ingested, NR is quickly absorbed and converted into NAD+ through natural metabolic pathways. Unlike some precursors that require extra steps, NR offers a more direct route. This means faster, more reliable support for your cells.

 

Human studies show that NR can increase NAD+ levels in the blood by up to 40% within weeks, with benefits ranging from improved energy and cellular repair to enhanced skin vitality and metabolic resilience.

 

The Bevivo Elevate advantage

Why choose Bevivo Elevate over generic NR products?

  • Clinically inspired formula – 300 mg of pure NR in every daily dose

  • Sustainably delivered – glass bottle + refill system for reduced waste

  • Designed in Norway – clean, minimalist, and built on real science

  • Premium experience – from packaging to performance

Bevivo Elevate isn't just another supplement. It’s your daily ritual for energy, resilience, and long-term cellular health.

 

The future of NR and NAD+

Scientists are still uncovering the many ways NAD+ supports longevity – from immune function to brain health. Some even link age-related NAD+ decline to overactive enzymes like CD38, which may consume more NAD+ as we grow older.

 

For now, what we do know is this: Supplementing with NR is one of the safest, most effective ways to maintain NAD+ levels and support graceful aging.

Bevivo Elevate brings the science of cellular renewal into your daily life – with the elegance, quality, and impact you expect from a modern longevity brand.
