Q: What exactly is NIAGEN® ?
A: NIAGEN® is the first and only commercially available, patented form of nicotinamide riboside. Each capsule of TRU NIAGEN® contains 125 milligrams of NIAGEN®.
Q: How does TRU NIAGEN® work?
A: The NIAGEN® in TRU NIAGEN® is proven to boost levels of NAD+, a coenzyme found in all living cells*. NAD+ plays a key role in cell function within the “powerhouses of the cell,” the mitochondria. Mitochondria produce energy for our cells, and play an important role in the aging process. A deficiency of NAD+ is one of the main causes of cellular aging and breakdown. Find out more here.
Q: What might TRU NIAGEN® do for me?
A: No one can predict your individual results, but the evidence behind NIAGEN® is strong and exciting. Research has shown that NIAGEN® can improve cellular health, energy and muscle endurance, help protect the heart and nerves, protect against weight gain on a high-fat diet, and much more. There are also many anecdotal (individual) reports of better sleep, improved skin appearance, and stronger hair and nails.
Q: How do I know that NIAGEN® is safe?
A. NIAGEN® is the trademarked name for Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). NR is a natural product that is present in milk. What’s more, a panel of scientific experts unanimously found that NIAGEN®, a nature-identical nicotinamide riboside, is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in accordance with regulations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). GRAS status means that nicotinamide riboside is safe to use in foods and beverages. NIAGEN® has also received New Dietary Ingredient status from the FDA.
Q: Who is behind TRU NIAGEN®?
A: TRU NIAGEN® comes to you from Healthspan Research, LLC, a California-based supplements company that is the Official Partner of ChromaDex, Inc., another California firm. ChromaDex pioneered NIAGEN®, and holds the worldwide patents on this breakthrough product. Read more about Healthspan Research.
Q: Is “healthspan” another word for “lifespan”?
A: No—lifespan is simply the number of years you live, whatever the quality of your health. The number of years you enjoy healthy living is your healthspan.
Q: Can I get a discount for buying multiple bottles?
A: Again, absolutely. We’re so committed to helping you experience the benefits of TRU NIAGEN® for yourself that we encourage buying more than one bottle. To see how buying more saves you more, click here.
Q: How soon should I expect to see results?
A: Everyone is different and responds to TRU NIAGEN® in their own unique ways. Some people feel greater energy, deeper sleep and more mental alertness in just a few days. For others, noticing a difference in overall vitality and wellness can take longer. Even if you don’t see changes right away, know that TRU NIAGEN® is working at the cellular level—at the very foundation of life—to help you enjoy better health and well being.
Q: What kind of research has been done on NIAGEN®?
A: Since Dr. Brenner's discovery about NR there have been more than 100 scientific studies from some of the most prestigious scientists and institutions in the world demonstrating the profound effects NR supplementation has had in model systems in the categories of anti-aging, glucose maintenance, heart health, brain function, sleep, and weight loss. In 2015, a single dose of NIAGEN® was clinically proven to safely and efficiently raise NAD levels in humans.
