In light of the numerous studies linking a correlation between smoking and resistance to Covid 19 (and an equally numerous flurry of "debunking" studies in journals with absolutely no conflicts of interest such as The Lancet), the British government's interest in promoting health with a swift creation and implementation of the following law is a bit suspicious. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-68825322
I passed this on to about 50 "private" dissident FB groups, but found a few big ones from Australia have either been shut down or have blocked me.
In the reference article, organic milk had less NR than 'commercial' milk. I do not think they tested raw milk (too variable). They noted that bacteria contamination with Staph Aureus reduced the amount. I assume that the bacteria is consuming it. Nutritional Yeast may have it, too. But I don't have data to confirm.
Hmm ... before posting, I prompted the latest version of GPT and got this response ...
"Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is naturally found in small amounts in certain foods, including milk and yeast-based products. Interestingly, it has also been detected in tobacco products. Nicotinamide riboside is a derivative of nicotinamide, and tobacco plants produce compounds that can be precursors to nicotinamide riboside.
However, the amounts of NR present in tobacco products are not well-studied, and they are typically very low compared to the levels you’d find in supplements or other dietary sources. It’s also worth noting that while NR itself may be present, the harmful effects of smoking or using tobacco far outweigh any potential benefit from such small quantities of NR.
If you're looking to boost your NAD+ levels or gain the benefits of nicotinamide riboside, supplements or natural dietary sources (like milk, fish, or yeast) would be a far safer and more effective way than relying on tobacco products."
So maybe the British government really does care about public health? 🙂

Hi Laura.
In light of the numerous studies linking a correlation between smoking and resistance to Covid 19 (and an equally numerous flurry of "debunking" studies in journals with absolutely no conflicts of interest such as The Lancet), the British government's interest in promoting health with a swift creation and implementation of the following law is a bit suspicious. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-68825322

Nicotinamide Riboside is Vitamin B3, not the compound nicotine found in tobacco. It is found in foods and bacteria.
Would Nutritional Yeast contain NR?
Also, raw milk versus “commercial milk”- aka pasteurized/homogenized milk, which is better for NR?

Mea culpa.
