Hello,
Thank you for your email and interest in TRU NIAGEN®. While some scientists have developed methods to measure NAD+ levels for research, they have not yet translated these measurements from the laboratory bench to the clinic. At some point in the future, we expect the analytical method to be standardized so that NAD+ analysis can be introduced into clinical laboratory use. More work will be needed to bring this exciting technology to the bedside where it is informative for patients and their healthcare providers.
One thing to keep in mind is that every tissue has its own machinery to make and to break down NAD+. Blood is a convenient material for testing a person’s response to taking TRU NIAGEN®, but it is not necessarily the most relevant tissue for assessing the health benefits of supplementing with NR. We and others are working on less invasive ways to assess NAD+ status in tissues beyond the blood.
We know that TRU NIAGEN is increasing NAD+ safely and effectively in people as this has been demonstrated in several published clinical trials.
Clinical trials:

Again, thanks for the excellent question, and your interest in TRU NIAGEN®.
Sincerely,
Cheri Thomas
