The Science Behind Tru Niagen – Patented and Research-Backed
TRU NIAGEN contains Niagen®, the only patented form of nicotinamide riboside (NR) with FDA acceptance as both a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). It is one of the most well-studied supplements in its category, backed by over 500 published scientific studies, more than 300 global research collaborations, and over 40 clinical trials. Developed with input from a Nobel Prize winner, Tru Niagen is supported by decades of rigorous science.
What Exactly Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a centre role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signalling. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline—by as much as 65% between ages 30 and 70. This decline is associated with various age-related changes in health and vitality. Supplementing with nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+, can help maintain healthy NAD+ levels, supporting overall cellular function.
Health Benefits of Boosting NAD+ with Tru Niagen
TRU NIAGEN provides a patented form of nicotinamide riboside (NR) that efficiently elevates NAD+ levels in the body. Research indicates that maintaining optimal NAD+ levels may contribute to:
-
Normal cellular function: NAD+ is essential for activating sirtuins, proteins that regulate cellular health and longevity.
-
Normal energy-yielding metabolism: NAD+ is a key player in mitochondrial function, helping convert food into cellular energy.
-
DNA repair: NAD+ is required for enzymes called PARPs that fix damaged DNA, promoting genomic stability.
-
Cellular signalling: Adequate NAD+ supports normal cell communication and stress responses.
This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
How to Take Tru Niagen for Optimal NAD+ Support
Each serving of Tru Niagen provides 300 mg of nicotinamide riboside. The recommended starting dose is 300 mg daily (one capsule). As you age or under increased metabolic stress, you may increase to up to 1000 mg daily (split into multiple doses). Always consult your health care professional before adjusting your dosage. The capsules are easy to swallow and can be taken with or without food.
Safety, Quality, and Purity You Can Trust
Every batch of Tru Niagen is manufactured in the United States using globally sourced ingredients and third-party tested by ISO/IEC-accredited laboratories for potency, safety, and purity. The supplement is vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, caffeine-free, and contains no artificial flavours or colours. It has achieved regulatory acceptance from the US FDA, reflecting its high safety and quality standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is nicotinamide riboside different from niacin or niacinamide?
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a unique form of vitamin B3 that is efficiently converted into NAD+ in the body without causing the flushing associated with nicotinic acid (niacin) or the potential inhibition of sirtuins linked to high-dose niacinamide. NR is considered one of the most effective precursors for raising NAD+ levels.
Can I take Tru Niagen with other supplements?
Yes, Tru Niagen can be safely combined with most dietary supplements. However, if you are taking medications or have a medical condition, consult your health care professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
How long does it take to see results?
Some users notice increased energy within a few weeks, but optimal cellular benefits typically require consistent uses over several months. NAD+ levels generally begin to rise within hours of taking NR, with sustained intake leading to maintained elevation.
Is Tru Niagen suitable for vegans?
Yes, Tru Niagen capsules are vegetarian-friendly. The ingredients are vegan-compatible, but if you have strict dietary preferences, check the label for any animal-derived excipients (none are used).
Where is Tru Niagen manufactured?
Tru Niagen is made in the United States with globally sourced ingredients. Each batch is produced in a cGMP-compliant facility and undergoes rigorous third-party testing.
