Nicotinamide Riboside: Mild Nausea at 250mg – Tips or Alternatives?

Posted by greg208 in Safety & Side Effects - 2 points, 0 comments.

I kicked off NR at 250 mg a day with my breakfast this week. Within an hour I felt a twinge of nausea and a slight stomach upset that lingered for a couple of hours. I’ve been on the same dose for about a month now and the nausea keeps popping up whenever I take it with food.

I tried splitting the dose into 125 mg twice a day, but the feeling didn’t go away – it just shifted to the afternoon. I’m not sure if it’s the timing, the food, or if I should bump up to 500 mg in smaller chunks. Anyone else have had this issue? Any suggestions for easing the stomachkende side effect or other safe dose tweaks?
