METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR INCREASING NAD LEVEL IN MAMMALS WITH D-RIBOSE AND VITAMIN B3
Methods and compositions for increasing NAD levels in mammals by administering to the mammal an effective amount of D-ribose or D-ribose with Vitamin B3, where the Vitamin B3 may be niacin, nicotinamide, nicotinamide riboside or nicotinamide mononucleotide. The ratio between D-ribose and Vitamin B3 could vary between 0.5:10 and 10:0.5. The timing of administration to the mammal is at a time when the mammal is active or about to be active, whether the mammal is diurnal or nocturnal.
1 . A method of increasing NAD level in mammals by administering to the mammal an effective amount of D-ribose or D-ribose with Vitamin B3, where the Vitamin B3 includes any of: niacin, nicotinamide, nicotinamide riboside or nicotinamide mononucleotide.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is a ratio between 0.5:10 and 10:0.5 of Vitamin B3 to D-ribose.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is a ratio between 1:5 and 5:1 of Vitamin B3 to D-ribose.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is between 20 mg to 5400 mg per day.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is between 100 mg to 4000 mg per day.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is administered to the mammal at a time when the mammal is active or about to be active.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the effective amount is administered to the mammal during daylight hours when the mammal is diurnal.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the effective amount is administered in the morning.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the effective amount is administered to the mammal during evening hours when the mammal is nocturnal.
10 . A composition to be administered for increasing NAD level in mammals which comprises an effective amount of D-ribose or D-ribose with Vitamin B3, where the Vitamin B3 includes any of: niacin, nicotinamide, nicotinamide riboside or nicotinamide mononucleotide.
11 . The composition of claim 10 , wherein the effective amount is a ratio between 0.5:10 and 10:0.5 of Vitamin B3 to D-ribose.
12 . The composition of claim 10 , wherein the effective amount is a ratio between 1:5 and 5:1 of Vitamin B3 to D-ribose.
13 . The composition of claim 10 , wherein the effective amount is between 20 mg to 5400 mg per day.
14 . The composition of claim 10 , wherein the effective amount is between 100 mg to 4000 mg per day.
