NiaCel 400
Thorne is the most trusted name in clinical-grade supplements, and NiaCel 400 uses Nicotinamide Riboside Malate for superior stability and absorption. The NSF Certified for Sport designation ensures it is free from contaminants and accurately labeled.
Quality & Materials
Contains Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Malate, a stable form of the NAD+ precursor. Thorne avoids the use of stearates and unnecessary flowing agents.
Evidence & Testing
Thorne products are used in over 30 clinical trials. NR has more published human clinical data regarding NAD+ elevation than NMN.
Brand Transparency
Thorne performs four rounds of testing on every product and is a leader in clean manufacturing.
Value Assessment
Higher price point, but justified for users requiring the highest level of certification (NSF) and a brand with a massive clinical research footprint.
Why Not Alternatives?
While Tru Niagen owns the patent on NR, Thorne's manufacturing process and 'Certified for Sport' status provide a level of trust for professional athletes and clinical patients that other brands cannot match.
