A busy lifestyle demands a lot from you. You already do what’s advised: training, healthy eating, and work-life balance. Still, the life you want to enjoy can feel daunting at times, and you just simply don’t want to give up your family time, business events, and social life. The solution lies one step further in a molecule called NAD+, which works exactly where your cells start to struggle producing energy.
An NAD+ drink is a great way to support your body with the very molecule that fuels it every day. But as energy is not simple, these drinks aren’t either: they include different ingredients to support you throughout the day at different levels. In this article, we’ll help you understand:
-
The ingredients you can find in an NAD+ drink
-
How these ingredients help you stay energetic throughout the day
-
How to know if you can trust the label

TL;DR
-
NAD+ drinks do not usually contain NAD+ itself. They use stable precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside or NR, which your body converts into NAD+ after absorption.
-
NEU+ combines NR, TMG, and vitamin C. NR helps your body make NAD+. TMG helps your body process the extra compounds produced during this process, and vitamin C protects your cells from daily stress.
-
An NAD+ drink is not an energy drink. NEU+ contains no caffeine or stimulants, so it supports cellular energy production without a short-lived buzz.
-
A good NAD+ supplement should show its ingredients and doses clearly, use a well-studied NAD+ precursor, and have independent quality testing. NEU+ is Informed Sport Certified, so every batch is tested for banned substances and impurities.
-
The most useful NAD+ drink is the one you take consistently. A 60 mL daily shot makes it easy to build NR, TMG, and vitamin C into your morning, training, or breakfast routine.
NAD+ drinks: why there is no NAD+ to be found
If you take care of your health, you read the label. So if you’ve come across NEU+, the world’s first NAD+ drink, you may have noticed something surprising: NAD+ is nowhere to be found. This is the case for most NAD+ supplements too. Don’t ring the alarms. There is a scientific reason behind it.
NAD+ molecules are unstable and quickly degrade in your gut when you ingest them. Instead, NAD+ drinks and other oral NAD+ supplements use precursors, molecules that your cells convert into NAD+. These precursors are more stable during digestion and can be absorbed in your gut, with studies showing that they can effectively increase NAD+ levels in the body.
There are different NAD+ precursors, and NR (nicotinamide riboside) has some of the most consistent clinical evidence. This is why we built our NEU+ NAD+ drink around NR, providing a precursor your body can use to support NAD+ production at the cellular level.
What happens when your body uses more energy
Let’s be realistic: when you feel more energetic, you also tend to demand more from your body. Training more means increasing your caloric intake. Spending more time with your family means finding more time for yourself and taking care of your body.
What happens when you take NAD+ is not far from these examples. By providing your cells with the building blocks for energy production, you are more capable of keeping up with the daily activities you’re looking for. But as your cells work harder, they produce some byproducts and use extra resources that are also important for your health. That’s why we include other ingredients in our NAD+ drinks to support your body as your cells work harder.
The repair team: Trimethylglycine (TMG)
When your cells use NAD+, they generate some byproducts such as nicotinamide. But to avoid its accumulation, your body needs to clear it out by using other molecules called methyl groups. And here is the problem: methyl groups have other important jobs too. Your body relies on them to turn certain genes up or down when needed and produce brain signaling chemicals. So when you increase NAD+ levels, supporting these processes becomes important too. TMG provides those extra methyl groups your body needs as your energy rises, and that’s why you can read it in or label it.
Your daily defender: vitamin C
Your daily activities always have an impact on your cells, and one of the ways is through oxidative stress. Your metabolism, along with exposure to factors such as UV light and pollution, generates reactive molecules that your cells need to manage. And NAD+ is also involved in cellular processes that help maintain and repair cells.
That’s one of the benefits of supporting NAD+ levels. But what we actually want it to do is support more consistent energy throughout your day. So instead of relying on NAD+ alone, we also include vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps your cells manage daily oxidative stress while supporting normal collagen production for healthy skin.
Taste so good you can’t but drink it
Cellular support, vitality, and antioxidants are great, but the only routine that benefits you is the one you follow. The NAD+ drink format already makes it easier to incorporate NAD+ supplements into your routine, as they’re easy to carry and take seconds to drink.
But to make it impossibly easy, we also added natural flavors to make our NAD+ drinks so tasty that you actually look forward to drinking them. Choose from our mixed berry or lemon-ginger flavors and make NAD+ part of your everyday routine.
What’s not inside NEU+ NAD+ drinks
Even when checking the ingredient list is key, the reality is that labels are not always as clean as they should be. Supplements can contain impurities or contaminants, or provide lower doses than the amounts listed on the label. That’s why it’s important to look for third-party certifications that independently test products and verify their quality.
There are several third-party certifications available. As for NEU+, you can feel safe knowing that every batch we produce is Informed Sport Certified.
And no, even if our drinks support your energy levels, NAD+ drinks are not energy drinks because they don’t contain caffeine. The reason is simple: we want to support your cells’ ability to produce energy, not trick your brain into feeling like it isn’t tired.
How to start taking your NAD+ drink
If you want to test these combinations of ingredients for yourself, the best thing is to fit them into something you already do. We recommend making your NAD+ drink part of your morning ritual, before or after your yoga session, during your training, or while you have breakfast with your family.
To make consistency easier, we’ve built subscription programs so you never run out of your daily cellular support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is inside an NAD+ drink?
An NAD+ drink usually contains NAD+ precursors rather than NAD+ itself. NEU+ uses nicotinamide riboside, or NR, a well-studied precursor your body converts into NAD+. It also contains trimethylglycine, vitamin C, and natural flavours. Together, these ingredients support cellular energy production, methylation processes, antioxidant protection, and a simple daily routine.
Does an NAD+ drink give you energy like an energy drink?
No. An NAD+ drink is not an energy drink and does not rely on caffeine or stimulants. It supports your cells with nicotinamide riboside, an NAD+ precursor involved in cellular energy production. Instead of creating a short-lived buzz, an NAD+ supplement for energy supports the processes your cells use to turn nutrients into usable energy throughout the day.
Why do NAD+ drinks use nicotinamide riboside?
Nicotinamide riboside is an NAD+ precursor. Your body absorbs it and converts it into NAD+, a molecule involved in energy metabolism and cellular repair. Direct oral NAD+ is less stable during digestion, which is why many NAD supplements use precursors such as NR. NEU+ combines NR with TMG and vitamin C for broader daily cellular support.
Can I take an NAD+ drink every day?
Yes. NEU+ is made as a daily 60 mL NAD+ shot, designed to fit into a consistent morning routine. One serving provides nicotinamide riboside, TMG, and vitamin C to support NAD+ production and cellular energy. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication, or managing a medical condition, speak with your doctor before starting any NAD supplement.
What should I look for in an NAD+ supplement?
Look for an NAD supplement with a clearly stated NAD+ precursor, transparent dosing, and independent quality testing. Nicotinamide riboside is a widely studied NAD+ precursor, while TMG and vitamin C provide methylation and antioxidant support. NEU+ is caffeine-free, contains no added sugar, and each batch is Informed Sport Certified, which helps verify product quality and banned-substance testing.
