As we get older, many of us lose the vitality of our youth. Gone are the days of playing outdoors from dawn to dusk or even staying up late and awakening rested the next day. The best way to get that feeling back is to follow a path of wellness, the 3 M’s (MIND, MEDICINE, & MOVEMENT).
Even with this approach, you still might not feel as energetic as you would like. If this is you, here is a simple supplement that might help you get over the hump: Nicotinamide riboside. Nicotinamide is a form of Vitamin B-3 that activates an essential intracellular energy process, the electron transport system in the mitochondria. This produces ATP’s which are our body’s primary fuel source. As we get older, our ability to absorb nicotinamide is reduced, contributing to a sense of decreased energy.
Adding nicotinamide as a supplement can help prime that energy pump and the riboside form is the easiest to absorb. There are two types of Vitamin B-3, nicotinamide and niacinamide. While both are vital to good health, it is nicotinamide that directly boosts energy production.
I recommend 300 mg of nicotinamide riboside each day. You should shop around for the best price; but, make sure that it is a high quality product from a reputable source.
