Niagen Bioscience Increases Full Year 2025 Net Sales Outlook to 25% to 30% Year-Over-Year Growth

Niagen Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:NAGE), the global authority on NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) with a focus on the science of healthy aging, today announced it has increased its full-year 2025 net sales outlook to 25% to 30% year-over-year growth from 22% to 27%.

"Elevating NAD+ is critical for health, especially as we age, and greater attention to this important area of science is valuable for public health and for Niagen Bioscience," remarked Rob Fried, CEO of Niagen Bioscience. "We believe the FDA's latest reversal of previous rulings on the DSHEA drug preclusion rule relating to NMN could serve to increase awareness of the NAD+ precursor market overall and the safety and efficacy of Niagen, in particular. Also, it is important to note that NMN products being sold on the market infringe upon an existing patent portfolio."

• Niagen is the gold standard NAD+ booster, superior to NAD+ and NMN. Niagen (patented nicotinamide riboside, NR) is rigorously studied, manufactured in the U.S. under the highest quality standards, and backed by multiple safety notifications. Unlike nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which must first be converted into NR before entering human cells, Niagen NR is directly bioavailable, ensuring superior efficacy in raising NAD+ levels in humans. Furthermore, three in four NMN products failed to meet label claims (NutraIngredients USA), with similar quality issues observed internationally (NutraIngredients Asia).
• NMN products on the market infringe on existing intellectual property (IP). Niagen Bioscience's market surveillance program has tested the NMN, NAD+, and NR products on the market and revealed that every NMN supplement tested infringes upon a robust patent portfolio related to NMN crystallization.
• Growing awareness of the NAD+ supplementation market. Even under the FDA's previous exclusion, NMN supplements remained widely available, underscoring that regulatory shifts have had minimal impact on Niagen Bioscience's business due to differentiation in bioavailability, science, quality, and IP.
