NCT ID NCT07344636
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether taking nicotinamide riboside, a form of vitamin B3, can improve how the body uses energy during light cycling (Zone 2 training). Sixteen healthy adults will take different doses of the supplement or a placebo at different times, then exercise. Researchers will measure fat burning, heart rate, and other markers to see if the supplement makes exercise more effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that combining a common vitamin B3 supplement with light exercise improves how the body burns fat and uses energy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study in healthy people, so results may not apply to others. Previous studies on similar supplements have had mixed results.
