Niagen Bioscience has expanded the availability of its Tru Niagen product, now available at nearly 300 retail outlets across 44 states. GNC customers can purchase Tru Niagen Beauty, the inaugural U.S. beauty supplement with patented nicotinamide riboside aimed at improving skin elasticity, hair and nail health, alongside the regular 300 mg bottles. Meanwhile, Sam's Club offers 120-count bottles both in stores and online.
Tru Niagen has been clinically shown to increase and sustain NAD+ levels, an essential coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, mitochondrial function and DNA repair. As healthy aging supplements move from niche wellness stores into mainstream retail, Tru Niagen's expansion into GNC and Sam's Club shows how credible, science-backed formulations are increasingly reaching consumers through everyday shopping.
