Oral supplementation for boosting NAD+ levels.
Tru Niagen is an oral supplement containing nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital coenzyme found in all living cells. NAD+ plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and overall metabolic health. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to the aging process and a decrease in cellular function.

A direct precursor for cellular NAD+ production.
Tru Niagen is a dietary supplement containing nicotinamide riboside chloride (NR), a form of vitamin B3. Your body converts NR into NAD+, a molecule involved in cellular energy production, DNA repair, metabolism, and other essential cell functions.
Clinical studies show that NR supplementation can increase NAD+ levels in the blood. However, evidence that it noticeably boosts energy, reverses ageing, improves longevity, or treats medical conditions is still developing.
It is generally well tolerated in studies, but it is a supplement—not an FDA-approved treatment for ageing or disease. Consult a healthcare professional before taking it, particularly if you have a medical condition, take medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How NR becomes NAD+.
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)
Tru Niagen’s active ingredient is NR, a form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that is converted to NAD+ inside the body. NR is more efficient at increasing NAD+ levels than other precursors such as niacinamide or nicotinic acid.
Conversion to NAD+
- NR is absorbed into the bloodstream after ingestion.
- Inside cells, NR is converted into nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which is then transformed into NAD+.
- Increased NAD+ boosts cellular energy production, supports repair processes, and enhances overall metabolic function.
Research supporting oral NR supplementation.
Multiple studies have shown that oral NR supplementation effectively increases NAD+ levels significantly, depending on dose, after daily use for several weeks.
A randomized, placebo controlled, double-blinded study demonstrated that consumption of 100, 300 and 1000 mg NR dose-dependently and significantly increased whole blood NAD+ (i.e., 22%, 51% and 142%) and other NAD+ metabolites within 2 weeks.
A clinical study demonstrated that NR supplementation safely increased NAD+ levels and showed potential benefits in cardiovascular health and aging by improving blood pressure in older adults.
This study showed NR significantly elevated NAD+ in healthy middle-aged adults and supported enhanced mitochondrial function and energy production.
Benefits for energy, cognition, repair, and healthy aging.
Cellular Energy Production
NAD+ is crucial for the mitochondria (the “powerhouse” of cells) to produce ATP, the body’s main energy source. Increasing NAD+ improves cellular energy efficiency, reducing fatigue and enhancing endurance.
DNA Repair
NAD+ activates PARP (poly-ADP-ribose polymerase), enzymes responsible for repairing damaged DNA, promoting longevity and maintaining cell health.
Cognitive Health
NAD+ supports brain health by fueling neuronal repair and protecting against age-related cognitive decline, including neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
Improved Muscle Function
Research has shown that increased NAD+ levels can enhance muscle strength and function, particularly in older individuals, by improving mitochondrial performance.
Metabolic Health
NAD+ plays a role in metabolism regulation. Elevated NAD+ levels may improve insulin sensitivity and support healthy weight management.
Anti-Aging Properties
By replenishing NAD+, Tru Niagen may help combat the visible and cellular effects of aging, promoting healthier skin, increased vitality, and longer lifespan at the cellular level.
A well-studied safety profile.
Tru Niagen has undergone rigorous safety studies and has been shown to be well-tolerated in humans, even at high doses. It has received “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) status from the FDA. It is also NSF Certified for Sport as a safe supplement that is not banned in most professional or collegiate sports.
Nausea or Digestive Discomfort
Rare.
Mild Flushing or Skin Reactions
Less common compared to niacin.
Temporary Fatigue
May occur as the body adjusts to the supplement.
