NR+ is a highly effective vitamin B3 type supplement due to its unique ability to replenish NAD+ levels. While NR+ chloride is already on the market as a nutritional supplement, its synthesis is challenging, expensive, and low yielding, making it cumbersome for large-scale industrial production. Here we report the novel crystalline NR+ salts, D/L/DL-hydrogen tartrate and D/L/DL-hydrogen malate. Their high-yielding, one-pot manufacture does not require specific equipment and is suitable for multi-ton scale production. These new NR+ salts seem ideal for nutritional applications due to their bio-equivalence compared to the approved NR+ chloride. In addition, the crystal structures of all stereoisomers of NR+ hydrogen tartrate and NR+ hydrogen malate and a comparison to the known NR+ halogenides are presented.
