Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) & NMN for Cats: Cellular Health and Longevity
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) are two of the most advanced compounds in longevity science—now gaining attention for their ability to support cellular energy, cognitive function, and anti-aging in pets. While originally studied in humans, these NAD+ precursors are proving to be promising for felines.
Hollywood Elixir features a veterinary-formulated dose of nicotinamide riboside for cats to help restore NAD+ levels, enhance mitochondrial function, and defend against the cellular stress of aging.

How Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Supports Aging Cats
NR is a direct precursor to NAD+—a coenzyme that powers virtually every cell in your cat’s body. As cats age, NAD+ levels decline, leading to slower cellular repair, cognitive fog, and fatigue. Supplementing with NR restores this lost potential by fueling mitochondria and cellular defense pathways.
Key Benefits of NR for Cats:
- Boosts energy metabolism — helping older cats regain activity and alertness.
- Protects cellular integrity — by increasing NAD+, a key molecule in DNA repair and resilience.
- Supports cognitive clarity — maintaining brain health in aging felines.
- Improves immune response — enhancing your cat’s ability to resist stressors and infections.

Why NR Outperforms NMN in Cats
| Feature | NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) | NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) |
|---|---|---|
| Bioavailability | High in feline digestive tract | Lower; may require conversion steps |
| Stability in supplement form | Stable in powder formulation | Less stable in common shelf conditions |
| Absorption & conversion | Rapidly converts to NAD+ in tissues | Slower uptake into cells |
Hollywood Elixir includes 50mg of feline-optimized NR along with CoQ10 and glutathione.
Studies in mammals show that restoring NAD+ levels via NR supplementation improves mitochondrial health, enhances DNA repair, and extends healthspan — the years lived in good health. These mechanisms are now being explored in pets, with early evidence showing similar longevity benefits.
Mini Glossary
- NR (Nicotinamide Riboside): A form of vitamin B3 that converts into NAD+, supporting cellular repair and energy.
- NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide): Another NAD+ precursor, slightly less bioavailable in cats.
- NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): A molecule essential for energy metabolism and longevity.
FAQs About NR for Cats
1. Is nicotinamide riboside safe for cats?
Yes—when properly dosed, NR is considered safe and effective for cats. Hollywood Elixir contains 50 mg per serving, formulated with veterinary oversight.
2. Can NR help my senior cat with energy?
Absolutely. NR supports mitochondrial function and energy production, which can help older cats feel more active and alert within 3–6 weeks.
3. Is NMN better than NR for cats?
No—while both increase NAD+, NR is more bioavailable in felines, meaning it’s more effectively absorbed and converted.
4. How long should I supplement with NR?
Long-term daily use is recommended for optimal results, especially in cats aged 7 and up, or those experiencing energy or mobility decline.
