Tru Niagen Men's Multivitamin Review

Vitamin and Mineral Composition

Tru Niagen is a supplement that contains nicotinamide riboside chloride, which is better known as NIAGEN. This is a form of vitamin B3 that is currently being investigated to determine its potential effects on human health and longevity. It was first discovered in 2004. Each capsule contains 300 mg of NIAGEN per serving and contains no nuts, gluten, caffeine, animal byproducts or artificial colors or flavors.

The supplement is aimed at adult men and women, especially aging adults. Pregnant and nursing women and anyone taking medications should consult a doctor before taking Tru Niagen. It is not recommended for children under 18.

The supplement was created by Dr. Charles Brenner, the Head of Biochemistry at the University of Iowa. Its scientific advisory board contains several other professors at eminent universities as well as two Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry.

Certifications, Sourcing and Pill Type

Tru Niagen comes in a vegetarian capsule made of microcrystalline cellulose and hypromellose -- common ingredients in supplement production. You take one pill per day, with or without food.

NIAGEN was reviewed under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s dietary ingredient notification program and is generally recognized as safe. While there have been a few clinical studies on NIAGEN, it remains a relatively new substance and more research will need to be done to more accurately assess its effects on the body.

The company's website does not indicate where Tru Niagen is sourced from or where the supplements are produced, but it does say that it is a nature-identical synthesized form of vitamin B3, similar to naturally occurring nicotinamide riboside chloride found in milk.

Price

You can purchase Tru Niagen for up to four people and you can choose from a one-, three- or six-month supply. For a single individual, you'll pay $40 per month for a one-month shipment, $35 per month for a three-month shipment or $30 per month for a six-month shipment if you enroll in auto shipments.

You can also make a one-time purchase, but you'll pay a little more. It's $50 per bottle for a one-month supply, $119.85 for a three-month supply and $225 for a six-month supply.

Tru Niagen Summed Up

NIAGEN is an interesting, yet still little-known ingredient. While the FDA's review indicates that it's generally considered safe, it's difficult to know exactly what effects it might have on the body, especially because supplements are not subject to the same rigorous testing requirements as pharmaceutical drugs. But if it piques your interest, Tru Niagen offers several purchasing options so you can start off with just a single month to test it if you'd like.
