Matt Kelly explains that nicotinamide riboside supplements are meant as a temporary boost, not a lifelong habit. Once your energy improves and diet gets better, you taper off rather than stay on them indefinitely. The focus is cost, diet quality, and knowing when to stop.
Do I have to take this forever? Because it's expensive. Well, the answer is no. You don't have to take anything forever generally. But as a supplement, it's supposed to be on top of what you're eating and getting in your body. So once we have people recovering their energy and their diet is tuned up and they're feeling better and all of that, we usually have them start to wean off of the nicotinamide riboside and take less over time.
