Methods for producing dihydronicotinamide riboside from nicotinamide riboside chloride

Abstract

A method of producing 1,4-dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH) is disclosed. The method comprises providing nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCl) in a liquid solution; adding a metal dithionite into the liquid solution under a first temperature; and reacting the metal dithionite with the nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCl) in the liquid solution under a second temperature to form a mixture, wherein at least a portion of the mixture comprises the 1,4-dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH).
