What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a central role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular communication. Without adequate NAD+, your mitochondria — the powerhouses of your cells — cannot function efficiently.

The problem? NAD+ levels decline naturally with age. By the time you reach your 50s, your NAD+ levels may be half of what they were in your 20s. This decline is associated with fatigue, cognitive fog, slower recovery, and accelerated aging at the cellular level.

What Is Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)?

Tru Niagen® uses a patented form of Vitamin B3 called Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), which is one of the most efficient precursors to NAD+ available. Unlike other NAD+ precursors such as niacin or NMN, NR has been shown in multiple human clinical trials to safely and effectively raise NAD+ levels in the blood.

What the Clinical Research Shows

Tru Niagen® is backed by over 300 published scientific studies and more than 40 human clinical trials — making it one of the most researched NAD+ supplements on the market. Key findings include:

  • Increased NAD+ levels: Studies show NR supplementation can raise blood NAD+ levels by 40–90% within 2–8 weeks.
  • Mitochondrial support: Research published in Nature Communications demonstrated that NR improved mitochondrial function in older adults.
  • Muscle health: A clinical trial showed NR supplementation helped preserve muscle function in aging populations.
  • Cardiovascular support: Emerging research suggests NAD+ precursors may support healthy blood pressure and arterial flexibility.

Why Tru Niagen® Pro 500mg?

The Pro 500mg formulation delivers a clinically meaningful dose in a single capsule — ideal for individuals over 40, those with high physical demands, or anyone seeking targeted longevity support. Each capsule contains 500mg of NIAGEN® (patented NR), manufactured under strict pharmaceutical-grade standards with third-party testing for purity and potency.

Who Should Consider Tru Niagen® Pro?

  • Adults over 40 experiencing fatigue or reduced energy
  • Athletes and active individuals seeking faster recovery
  • Those with a family history of age-related metabolic conditions
  • Anyone interested in evidence-based longevity supplementation
