N2 - Nicotinamide riboside is a precursor to the important cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and has elicitedmetabolic benefits in multiple preclinical studies. In 2016, the first clinical trial of nicotinamide ribosidewasconducted to test the safety and efficacy of human supplementation. Many trials have since been conductedaiming to delineate benefits to metabolic health and severe diseases in humans. This review endeavors to summarizeand critically assess the 25 currently published research articles on human nicotinamide riboside supplementationto identify any poorly founded claims and assist the field in elucidating the actual future potentialfor nicotinamide riboside. Collectively, oral nicotinamide riboside supplementation has displayed few clinicallyrelevant effects, and there is an unfortunate tendency in the literature to exaggerate the importance and robustnessof reported effects. Even so, nicotinamide riboside may play a role in the reduction of inflammatorystates and has shown some potential in the treatment of diverse severe diseases.
