Scientists recently discovered a “miracle molecule” that is found in beer could prevent obesity.
Researchers in Switzerland show in a new study that this molecule, nicotinamide riboside (NR), influences metabolic activity, which can lessen weight gain, prevent diabetes, and generally improve well-being.
The report, which was published in the journal Cell Metabolism, showed that mice who were given the NR supplement over a 10-week period, showed more endurance and energy, were in better shape, and gained significantly less weight.
