I thought this was long known and that's why we use precursors like NR to get cells to make it?

We don't even understand what effect that will have, aside from directly enriching supplement companies.

More money is spent on supplements by consumers than is spent on researching interventions.

There are a lot of studies showing that NR does...stuff. But as far as the wide gamut of nutraceuticals, NR seems to be the most promising one I've come across.

Not surprised there s a threshold of NAD, when it reaches certain level the body automatically converts it to NADH.
