Tru Niagen is a suite of oral dietary supplements featuring Niagen (patented nicotinamide riboside or NR), the most efficient and high-quality NAD+ precursor available. Niagen+ features pharmaceutical-grade Niagen (patented nicotinamide riboside chloride or NRC) and will soon be available as Niagen IV and injections exclusively at clinics from
Setting a new standard in analytical NAD+ measurement methods, the Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit features cutting-edge dried blood spot (DBS) assay technology, ensuring the stability of NAD+ samples during transport for precise and accurate results. Other test kits use a less reliable DBS card, which requires adding a fixer solution to stabilize NAD+, which often degrades during the DBS drying process. With this innovative Niagen+ NAD+ test, HCPs can provide patients with personalized and effective protocols by more accurately tracking NAD+ changes over time.
Key Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit features:
- Innovative test card technology: A unique blood spot test card maintains the stability of NAD+ throughout the transport process and ensures accurate measurement.
- Baseline and progress tracking: While each HCP will determine the patient protocol, the test can be used to understand NAD+ levels before Tru Niagen NAD+-boosting and/or Niagen IV and injections to establish a baseline and again after NAD+ boosting therapy to track changes.
-
Validated, trusted results: Analyses are conducted at a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and the
College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited clinical genomics and biochemical testing laboratory with expertise in mass spec-based assays. - Precision analysis: NAD+ measurements are conducted on the blood sample affixed to the DBS card using the gold standard analytical method, high-resolution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
How it works:
HCPs will provide patients with an at-home Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit, which patients will register on the 1health platform. Once registered, the patient will follow the instructions within the kit to procure a sample with the DBS card and send it to the lab using a prepaid envelope. Results will be available to both patients and doctors in about two weeks through 1health.
