NR Supplements for Vegans and Vegetarians

Plant-based diets are linked to improved health, longevity, and environmental sustainability — but they also come with nutritional challenges .

One of the most overlooked gaps is NAD+ depletion — especially as we age. This is where Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) steps in.

Let’s explore how NR supports vegans and vegetarians, and how supplements like The Plus – Niagen® NR and The Lean can help you bridge the gap.

NR is a form of vitamin B3 that converts into NAD+ , a coenzyme crucial for:

• Cellular energy (ATP)

• DNA repair

• Metabolic efficiency

• Mitochondrial health

As NAD+ levels decline with age, fatigue increases, metabolism slows, and cellular repair weakens.

For vegans and vegetarians — whose diets may already limit B3 intake — NR can be an essential way to support energy and longevity without compromising ethical values .

Vegan and vegetarian diets often fall short in:

• Vitamin B12 – almost exclusively found in animal products

• Iron – plant-based iron is less bioavailable

• Omega-3 fatty acids – especially EPA and DHA

• Vitamin D – limited sources, especially with minimal sun exposure

• NAD+ precursors – especially as dietary B3 forms differ from NR

These gaps may lead to lower energy, impaired recovery, or slower metabolism — all areas where NR has proven benefits.

The Plus – Niagen® NR delivers 300 mg of clinically validated Niagen®, the most studied and patented form of NR on the market.

NR may help with:

• 🧬 Boosting NAD+ for energy and cellular resilience

• ⚡ Improving metabolic health and fat oxidation

• 🧠 Enhancing cognitive clarity and mood

• 💤 Supporting restorative sleep and circadian rhythm

• 🛡️ Strengthening immune function and DNA repair

It’s a simple way to level up your plant-based nutrition without relying on animal-based ingredients.

If you’re following a plant-based diet but still struggle with snacking , cravings , or post-meal glucose crashes , The Lean offers a clean, food-based solution.

This vegan-friendly formula includes:

• Green tea extract (EGCG) – to support fat metabolism

• Beanblock® – a patented white kidney bean extract that blocks carbohydrate absorption and helps regulate appetite

Combined with NR, The Lean helps support:

• ⚖️ Weight management

• 🔥 Fat burning

• 📉 Balanced blood sugar

• 🍽️ Better portion control

It’s a powerful pair — especially for vegans and vegetarians seeking metabolic balance without stimulants or synthetic additives.

• 🥑 Pair NR with healthy fats for better absorption (e.g. avocado, olive oil)

• ⏰ Take in the morning or with your first meal for energy support

• 📈 Start with 250–300 mg/day, then increase as needed

• 💬 Always consult a doctor, especially if combining supplements or managing health conditions

If you’re living plant-based and feeling low on energy, motivation, or metabolic strength — it might not be your mindset. It might be your NAD+ levels .

The Plus – Niagen® NR is clean, vegan, and clinically backed.
The Lean complements it with natural appetite control and carbohydrate balance.

Together, they support energy, clarity, and long-term health — all while staying true to your values.
