Description
Lack of sleep, being stuck at a desk, too many late nights, over-exposure to the sun, and an unbalanced diet – each of these healthy lifestyle obstacles can affect your body at the cellular level, leading to depletion of NAD+ and the symptoms of early aging. The Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) in Thorne’s NiaCel 400 helps your body defend against these stressors by boosting the body’s production of NAD+, thus supporting healthy aging, optimal cellular metabolism, desired body composition, and athletic performance.*
NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – is a coenzyme found in every cell. As a key coenzyme, NAD+ plays an integral role in multiple body functions, including DNA repair, cellular repair, energy production in the mitochondria, up-regulating the sirtuin proteins, gene expression, and cellular communication.* Not only do daily stresses of life contribute to the depletion of NAD+, the body’s natural level of NAD+ begins to significantly decline with age. A decreased level of NAD+ can begin to slow down vital bodily functions, resulting in many of the adverse symptoms of aging and age-related conditions.
High performance athletes experience aging at a different rate, which requires advanced nutritional support. Supplementing with Thorne’s NiaCel 400 provides advanced cellular support and enhances NAD+ production for athletes and individuals who require targeted clinical support.*

Take an inside look at NiaCel 400’s two premier healthy-aging ingredients:
Nicotinamide Riboside Hydrogen Malate (NR)
As a direct precursor to NAD+, NR efficiently stimulates the production of NAD+, which:
- Promotes multiple aspects of healthy aging*
- Supports cellular repair processes*
- Protects against DNA damage and oxidative stress*
- Supports exercise efficiency, helping to support health and fitness goals*
- Helps maintain an optimal state of health*
- Supports the number and health of the mitochondria in cells, benefiting mitochondrial metabolism*
- Up-regulates the activity of the sirtuin proteins – which support numerous functions associated with healthy aging and cellular metabolism*
Betaine
To achieve NR’s optimal benefit, it is important to support the process of methylation. Betaine is a premiere methyl donor, meaning:
- Betaine (also called trimethylglycine) is a superior nutrient for donating its methyl groups – necessary compounds that help produce healthy DNA, neurotransmitters, and cellular energy.*
- In female athletes, research indicates that betaine promotes lean body composition by helping to reduce body fat without negatively affecting muscle mass.*
- Betaine supports the body’s ability to engage in higher volume exercise – increased repetitions and weight load in male athletes and improved high volume work capacity in female athletes.*
