Niagen Plus review

One kit, one honest price — on a route the company's own trials don't cover

$149 one-time buys an at-home injection kit with the $20 doctor consult inside it and free next-day shipping — from the company whose ORAL ingredient has 40+ human studies, selling a subcutaneous route backed by none it can cite.

How this site makes money

Plain version: a handful of the outbound links here are affiliate or referral links. Follow one, start a treatment or buy a product, and we may earn a commission — your price stays exactly the same. That money pays for the research, and what we write about any product — and the price you pay — are the same either way. Want the specifics? Read the full disclosure.

at_a_glance

price: "Prescription Niagen® Injection Kit for $149 — delivered to your door." Product page: "Regular price $149" · "Free Next Day Air shipping" · "Price includes a doctor consultation fee of $20."
what you pay: $149 in a single charge. There is no subscription option, no membership, and no lab fee; how long a kit lasts depends on the prescribed protocol, and the site does not state doses per kit — so a monthly cost cannot be derived from the public page.
pharmacy: Invoked twice, contradictorily, and never named: the product page's disclaimer says "Compounding is performed by a licensed 503B outsourcing facility" while the same page and a collection page say the kit "ships from a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy". Those are different regulatory categories, and no pharmacy name appears anywhere on the site. Clinicians: "All providers are licensed physicians practicing within your state"; for Rhode Island and Vermont the site links a PDF of ~30 named physicians with license numbers, as those states require. The operator is ChromaDex, Inc., a subsidiary of Niagen Bioscience, Inc., Los Angeles.
states: "Currently not available to ship to Alabama, Arkansas, California, and Massachusetts" — stated on the product page; eligibility elsewhere is confirmed during the telehealth intake.
on our index: Not ranked. Unmonetized and deliberately unranked: the board ranks NAD+ therapy sellers, and Niagen Plus sells injectable NR — a different molecule by the same route. It is reviewed because it is the biggest brand in the precursor world crossing into injections, and readers will ask. No affiliate relationship exists (2026-08-30); the site advertises no program for this platform.

verdict

The short version

Niagen Plus is ChromaDex's own telehealth arm — the Tru Niagen company — selling a prescription Niagen At-Home Injection Kit for a one-time $149 with the doctor consultation fee included and free next-day-air shipping. As a purchase, it is one of the cleanest structures on our index: no subscription, no membership, no plan ladder, a full refund if the physician declines you, and pricing that is exactly what it says. As a product, it inverts the company's own strength: ChromaDex's credibility is built on oral NR's genuinely deep trial record, and this kit delivers NR by a subcutaneous route whose "clinically studied and shown to be safe and well-tolerated" claim appears on the site with no study attached. The site also cannot decide who fills it — one page says a 503B outsourcing facility, another says it ships from a 503A compounding pharmacy, and neither is named.

evidence

What the evidence for this route shows

Injectable NR is a different claim from oral NR, and this site treats it that way. Oral NR is the best-evidenced molecule in this category — real randomized trials show it raises blood NAD+, with a dedicated safety study of the branded ingredient. None of that transfers automatically to a subcutaneous route: the site's "clinically studied and shown to be safe and well-tolerated" line for the injection carries no citation, and its IV evidence is a preprint the site itself flags as not peer-reviewed, measuring the biomarker rather than any outcome. No human outcome trial of injected NR by any route is cited anywhere on the platform.

pricing

What it actually costs

advertised: "Prescription Niagen® Injection Kit for $149 — delivered to your door." Product page: "Regular price $149" · "Free Next Day Air shipping" · "Price includes a doctor consultation fee of $20."
you pay: $149 in a single charge. There is no subscription option, no membership, and no lab fee; how long a kit lasts depends on the prescribed protocol, and the site does not state doses per kit — so a monthly cost cannot be derived from the public page.
the catch: None found — the advertised figure is the recurring one.

Other money you will meet

Full refund if the prescription is not approved (7-10 business days); the order expires and auto-refunds if the intake is not completed within 30 days
Once a prescription is approved and issued, the order is final — no refunds or returns
Payment precedes the medical intake: you buy first, then complete the questionnaire a physician reviews

fit

Who this is and is not for

Buy it if

You want a one-time purchase with the consult inside the price and no subscription machinery
You want the precursor company with the deepest oral-trial record, extended to an injectable format
You want a stated refund if the physician does not approve you
You want free next-day shipping and in-account chat with the prescribing provider

Look elsewhere if

You live in Alabama, Arkansas, California, or Massachusetts — the kit does not ship there
You want the vial strength on the page before buying — the consumer site does not publish it
You want human evidence for the injected route — the site's own citations are oral studies and an unreviewed IV preprint
You want to know which pharmacy compounds your medication — 503A and 503B are both invoked, neither named

included

What is inside the price

consult: Included — the $149 explicitly contains the $20 physician consultation fee.
labs: Not mentioned anywhere on the checked pages.
follow-ups: In-account chat with the provider who approved the prescription; no separate fee stated.
human support: Provider chat plus a help-desk portal; no nurse or coach layer is described.
supplies: The company's launch materials describe a complete kit (vial, bacteriostatic water, syringes, prep pads); the consumer site itself lists "all materials and instructions for at-home administration included".
shipping: Free Next Day Air, stated on the product page.

the_knock

What they would rather you skipped

The company that owns the best evidence file in this category chose to sell past it. Niagen Plus's own FAQ leans on "40+ published human clinical studies in oral form" — and then attaches the safety halo to a subcutaneous kit with the uncited sentence that it "has been clinically studied and shown to be safe and well-tolerated in human studies", a claim no named study on the site supports. The dose you would be injecting is not published on the consumer page, the compounder is described as a 503B on one page and a 503A on another without ever being named, and you pay before the physician reviews your intake. A company this rigorous about its oral trials knows exactly what an uncited safety claim is.

And the rest

The injected route has no cited human study — the site's evidence base is oral NR and an unreviewed IV preprint
Vial strength and doses per kit are not published on the consumer site
503B and 503A are both claimed for the same kit, and the pharmacy is never named
Payment comes before the medical intake, with sales final once prescribed
Not available in AL, AR, CA, or MA
