The investigators hypothesize that NR will alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction and restore metabolic homeostasis in the intestinal epithelium in pediatric patients with UC. The purpose of the study are: 1. To establish the feasibility of an Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) investigating the effects of NR in pediatric patients with UC. 2. To evaluate the effects of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ repletion on intestinal epithelial mitochondrial structure and function in human UC patients. The investigators hypothesize that daily NR supplementation will restore NAD+ levels, enhancing Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC1α) activity and mitochondrial structure/function.
