I’ve been using Tru Niagen for a while now, and honestly, it does what it promises—it boosts your NAD+ levels and gives your cells more energy. After reading up on the science, I was impressed by how well-researched the product is, backed by multiple clinical studies. I noticed a subtle but real difference in my overall energy and recovery, which feels promising for long-term health.That said, the price really cought me off guard. It’s definitely on the expensive side compared to your typical vitamin supplement. I understand it's a patented formula with quality manufacturing, but it might not fit everyone’s budget, especially if you’re looking at taking it daily. For me, it’s a bit of an investment in my health, and I’d recommend it if you’re serious about NAD+ support and okay with paying a premium.It is a little cheaper on the tru Niagen website and there is a new customer 10% off code. With that said I am going to be trying a cheaper alterntive
Another update 12/8/21: I have been taken 300mg each morning for a few months now. Over the last three weeks I’ve been noticing a decline in energy, sleep and clarity. It made me wonder if I started to build a tolerance or plateau and need to increase dosage over time. I decided to add an additional 150mg to my original 300mg dosage yesterday morning. I didn’t really notice anything till I woke this morning. I had a little more energy waking up, a little more clarity, and slightly better mood. I had more vivid dreams too. I will say that life has been quite busy of late, and I have been eating quick and easy packaged snack food (mostly processed grains) that doesn’t agree with normal my anti-inflammation/anti grain diet. This is causing painful inflammation which could be causing increased fatigue, brain fog, and low mood. That said, I might have stayed good at the 300mg dose if I was eating better. Hopefully I can get off this merry-go-round after the holidays and go back to eating right and back to my 300mg, as these are expensive. Still they are worth it. Adding this with my AIP diet, I experienced so much more strength and energy. Not a shaky energy, more like heighten motivation to take on the day and do more. For a time I was working out every morning and beginning to quickly see results in muscle tone. Something I haven’t seen in a long while, and something that isn’t supposed to be so easy after 40. I think I just messed things up with eating pizza and grains the past few weeks. Thankfully adding on the 150mg is helping a little.First Update: this is definitely working. It’s subtle but I noticed results the first week of taking it. I’ve been taking this for three weeks now and definitely see a difference in my energy levels. I am getting more done. My thoughts are more organized. I seem to be more motivated as well. Which is huge. I was taking this last year and stopped because I thought they were giving me headaches but I haven’t had any headaches in the three weeks I have been taking this at full 300mg dose. I think the headaches may have been from taking it with Pterostilbene. Not sure. I will have to experiment with the Pterostinbene again and report back. I wish I never stopped taking it, as the results are accumulative I’m sure. I spent most of the spring and summer tired/uninspired; and this was in my drawer the whole time. Live and learn. Definitely worth a try.Original review: I was taking this last year everyday sometimes every other day for a few months and slowly, started to notice more energy, vitality and increased strength endurance. It’s a subtle experience over time. Unfortunately, I also noticed that it gave me headaches sometimes. So I started using half the dose. I purchased some empty gelatin capsules and would fill them with half the powder from the NR capsule. This seemed to help lessen the headaches but was a hassle. Eventually I stopped taking them altogether. Not making the connection until now (4 months later) i went from taking power yoga classes everyday to twice a week. I seem to have more brain fog, less muscle strength and increased fatigue. I don’t think I fully appreciated how well these worked because it’s so subtle. It’s not like you feel it working (like a caffeine rush). Now I’m back to repurchase and see if I can get back the strength, vitality, and clarity I experienced last year. Will definitely update to confirm results. The headaches I got with this could have also been from coupling with other supplements so will experiment there. My advice would be to maybe start with 150mg and work your way up from there.
Not sure about the age reversal, I do feel like I have more energy and my skin is better but I've also implemented some lifestyle changes of late (less sitting, more walking, more water) but for me it is having one definite benefit and that is making me regular. I know it's the capsule because when I've forgotten to take it, I am not having a movement. And they are healthy ones, I know this is a subject people don't like to talk about but I know many people suffer in silence with this issue from time to time so wanted to share my positive experience. Again, this is not a guarantee you will get the same results as me.
I’ve tried a few NAD+ supplements, and TRU Niagen really stands out for its quality. The packaging feels premium, the capsules are easy to swallow, and there’s no odd aftertaste. I like that it’s a patented form of NR and backed by real science, not just marketing claims.After a few weeks, I noticed a steady increase in my daily energy and focus. I’m not getting that mid-afternoon fatigue anymore, and my recovery after workouts seems faster. It feels like my body is running more efficiently overall.This is a good supplement if you’re serious about supporting long-term energy and cellular health, however it’s quite pricey to keep taking it everyday for a year.
Great product, easy to take, no texture, I can feel it already
