HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tru Niagen Unflavored by ChromaDex
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Tru Niagen Unflavored is a powder containing 2 active ingredients: nicotinamide riboside (Niagen) and total carbohydrates. Nicotinamide riboside is a form of vitamin B3 that your body converts into NAD+, a molecule involved in cellular energy and metabolism.
The product also contains inulin as an inactive ingredient (a type of fiber used as a filler or binder).
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for nicotinamide riboside isn't established yet for the conditions we have on file. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and heart failure.
If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Nicotinamide riboside appears generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety isn't fully known. The most common side effects reported in trials include bloating, muscle pain, nausea, itching, sweating, and changes in bowel movements.
One person in a trial reported leg cramps, and some experienced mild muscle soreness. Because there isn't enough safety data, the evidence advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), double-check them against the medication search tool below before starting Tru Niagen. Nicotinamide riboside may add to their blood pressure-lowering effect.
We could not check the total carbohydrates ingredient for interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Tru Niagen is designed for people interested in NAD+ support and cellular health, though the evidence for specific health claims remains limited. If you take blood pressure medications, check with your pharmacist before starting this product.
Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should avoid it. Talk to your pharmacist about whether this product makes sense for your situation.

Tru Niagen Unflavored by ChromaDex Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Tru Niagen Unflavored contains nicotinamide riboside (Niagen), which has one documented interaction category we track.
The main concern is with antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications). Nicotinamide riboside may theoretically add to the blood pressure-lowering effect of these drugs, raising the risk of blood pressure dropping too low (hypotension).
One small study suggested it can modestly lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, though other research didn't find this effect.

Altogethe, these interactions span 170 individual medications.
The product also contains total carbohydrates as an active ingredient, but we hold no interaction data for it and could not check it. Use the medication checker below to see if any of your specific drugs are affected by the nicotinamide riboside in this product.

For each ingredient in Tru Niagen Unflavored with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
Niagen
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, nicotinamide riboside may have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs, potentially increasing the risk for hypotension.
One small clinical study suggests that nicotinamide riboside can modestly reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. However, other clinical research did not find a reduction in blood pressure when compared with control.
