Nicotinamide riboside for fat burning and metabolism
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) helps the body burn fat more efficiently during exercise. It may be a good option if you are overweight or have a specific type of diabetes (MODY2) and want to see if a natural supplement can boost your metabolism.
