Legacy NAD+ precursor

Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide can support NAD-related biochemistry, but clinical effects are context-dependent and may be less robust than newer precursors in some settings.

Evidence Level C

Evidence and Risk Labels

Evidence A/B/C reflects research maturity, and risk levels reflect monitoring needs. These labels support comparison, not diagnosis or treatment decisions.
