A direct-to-consumer NAD+ supplement built on Niagen, the company's patented form of nicotinamide riboside, an NAD+ precursor. NAD+ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy and repair that declines with age, and Tru Niagen is marketed to raise and sustain NAD+ levels for healthy aging. Sold as a standalone daily supplement, it is positioned by the company as the number-one NAD+ supplement in the United States and is backed by the firm's published research.
Niagen is the company's patented nicotinamide riboside ingredient, licensed to and used in third-party supplements and studied across NAD+ research. Alongside the branded ingredient, Niagen Bioscience operates a business supplying analytical reference standards, phytochemical ingredients, and testing services to the dietary-supplement, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Together these lines make the company both a consumer brand and an upstream supplier within the NAD+ and natural-products supply chain.
