NAD+ precursors like Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) offer powerful support for energy, longevity, and cellular health. But to unlock their full potential, how you store them matters .

These supplements are sensitive to light , heat , and moisture . Improper storage can lead to degradation, reducing their effectiveness.

Here’s how to store your NAD+ boosters properly — and keep them working at their best.


Why Storage Matters for NR and NMN

Both NR and NMN are forms of vitamin B3 that help raise NAD+ , a molecule essential for:

  • Cellular energy (ATP)

  • DNA repair

  • Brain and metabolic function

  • Ageing resilience

But they’re also chemically sensitive , especially to:

  • High temperatures

  • UV light

  • Humidity or moisture exposure

When degraded, these molecules may lose their efficacy — which means you may not get the full benefits even with proper dosing.



Optimal Temperature for Storage

Store NAD+ boosters like NR and NMN in a cool, stable environment — ideally:

  • 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F)

  • Away from heat sources like radiators, stovetops, or sunny windows

  • Not in the fridge or freezer, unless the label explicitly recommends it

Basements or interior cupboards work well, as long as they’re dry and temperature-stable.



Protection from Light

UV light can degrade both NR and NMN, breaking down their molecular structure.

To avoid this:

  • Store supplements in opaque or tinted containers

  • Keep bottles in a cupboard or drawer , not on your bathroom or kitchen counter

  • Avoid transparent containers unless they’re kept in full darkness

All For Youth products come in dark, UV-resistant packaging to help protect your investment.



Moisture Control

Moisture is a major threat to powder-based supplements — including NMN and NR.

Key tips:

  • Keep the desiccant pack inside the bottle

  • Store in airtight containers

  • Avoid humid spaces like bathrooms

  • If possible, add a second silica gel pack when travelling


Choose the Right Container

Ideal packaging includes:

  • Tinted glass jars – premium protection but fragile

  • High-density polyethylene (HDPE) – commonly used, light-blocking, durable

  • Aluminium seals – to protect against oxygen exposure

All For Youth supplements use pharmaceutical-grade containers designed to block light, resist humidity, and preserve active ingredients.



Regular Rotation and Shelf Life Tips

Even with perfect storage, no supplement lasts forever.

  • Use the first-in, first-out method — rotate older stock first

  • Check expiry dates every 1–2 months

  • Seal tightly after each use to minimise air exposure

  • Avoid leaving supplements in hot cars or carry-on bags exposed to sunlight



Final Thoughts

Whether you're using The Plus – Niagen® NR , The Base – NMN , or the advanced The Repair , your results depend on more than just ingredients — they depend on care.

By protecting your NAD+ boosters from heat, light, and moisture, you're helping your cells stay energised, focused, and resilient.

Store smart. Age better.
