What to check on the label

  • Which precursor is named. NMN and NR are different molecules and are not interchangeable milligram for milligram.
  • Whether the milligram figure is per capsule or per serving of several capsules. The catalog records per serving.
  • Whether a certificate of analysis (CoA) is published for the batch you buy. The catalog only records whether the brand lists one.
  • Added ingredients (resveratrol, TMG, quercetin) are listed with their own amounts below. Read them separately.

Amounts are per label serving as recorded in the catalog and are not a recommendation. Testing status reflects what the brand lists. Nothing here is medical advice.

Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Our summary

Pure NR is a straightforward nicotinamide riboside chloride powder/capsule product offering 350 mg per unit, positioned as a cheaper alternative to patented Niagen-brand NR products like Tru Niagen. The ingredient itself has solid repeat-dose human evidence for raising NAD+ (Trammell 2016, Martens 2018) at doses matching DoNotAge's higher subscription tier, and one disease-specific trial (Brakedal 2022, Parkinson's) showing a modest clinical benefit — but healthy-population functional outcomes (energy, cognition) remain thin. NR also currently sits on firmer regulatory ground than NMN in both the US and EU. Buyers should note that the clinical evidence base is built on a different branded raw material than DoNotAge's own supply.
In plain language

Why this scored this way

This DoNotAge Pure NR scores 8.1, making it a strong scorer. It delivers 500mg of NR, inside the studied range of 100–1000mg with grade B evidence (promising human data, not yet comprehensive). Transparency is a clear strength (score: 9.5), with third-party testing and a public lab certificate.

What drives the score up

  • Dose-evidence score of 8.0 reflects good alignment with trial doses.
  • Quality transparency of 9.5: tested by independent lab with a public lab certificate.
  • Community score of 8.7 with positive consumer feedback.
  • NR is dosed at the full research level with grade B evidence (promising human data, not yet comprehensive).

What drags it down

  • NR (500mg is 167% of the 300mg trial dose) is well above the trial dose. More is not always better.

Why you'd choose it

  • You want a reasonably priced nad+ booster product.
  • You want NR from a DoNotAge product.
  • You prioritise tested by independent lab products with public lab certificates.

Why you might skip it

  • You want a standard dose of nr (this product is well above it).
  • You want better value (this is $1.10/day with a value score of 8.6).

What others say, with a source hierarchy

We treat external opinion very differently depending on where it comes from. Tier A is our strongest signal. Tier C is background sentiment only. Tier Rejected is what we excluded, listed openly so you can see what we discarded.

These reviews are aggregated from third-party sources, not written by NO1GEVITY. Each entry shows its source, retrieval date, and whether the source has an affiliate or paid relationship. We do not edit reviews to change their meaning. Disclosure policy.

Tier B

Registered dietitians and physicians, without affiliate ties

Credentialed commentary from clinicians who disclose no paid relationship. Useful as supporting critique but not a substitute for a clinical outcome trial.

Mood indicator only. We never use aggregate stars as evidence of efficacy.

Tier 3Ingredient RCT (matching dose)
3 studies mapped
Tier 3Ingredient RCT (matching dose)
Nicotinamide riboside is uniquely and orally bioavailable in mice and humans
Trammell SA, Schmidt MS, Weidemann BJ, et al. · 2016 · Nature Communications · n=12 · 100, 300, and 1000 mg single doses · Single-dose pharmacokinetic study
ingredient-levelpeer-reviewed
This first human pharmacokinetic study of NR established that oral NR is well absorbed and raises whole-blood NAD+ metabolites in a dose-dependent way, providing the foundational human safety and absorption data for NR supplementation generally.
Single-dose pharmacokinetics only — it measured absorption and blood metabolite changes after one dose, not repeated daily use or clinical outcomes. The 1000 mg dose tested is close to DoNotAge's higher subscription tier but well above its base 350-700 mg/day option.
Conflicts: Some co-authors were affiliated with ChromaDex (patent holder of Niagen-brand NR); this is a widely cited disclosure in NR literature.
Tier 4Ingredient RCT (different dose)
Nicotinamide riboside supplementation for chronic dosing in healthy middle-aged and older adults
Martens CR, Denman BA, Mazzo MR, et al. · 2018 · Nature Communications · n=24 · 1000 mg/day · 6 weeks
ingredient-levelpeer-reviewed
Six weeks of 1000 mg/day NR raised whole-blood NAD+ substantially and was well tolerated, but produced no significant improvements in blood pressure, arterial stiffness, or other cardiovascular/metabolic markers measured in the study.
This is a genuinely useful negative-outcome trial: it confirms NR reliably raises NAD+ at 1000 mg/day, but shows that boosting NAD+ alone did not translate into measurable cardiovascular benefit in this healthy older cohort over six weeks — a useful caution against assuming NAD+ elevation automatically improves health markers.
Conflicts: Academic (University of Colorado Boulder); funded by NIH grants.
Tier 4Ingredient RCT (different dose)
Nicotinamide riboside efficacy in Parkinson's disease
Brakedal B, Dölle C, Riemer F, et al. · 2022 · Cell Metabolism · n=30 · 1000 mg/day · 30 days
ingredient-levelpeer-reviewed
In this Parkinson's disease trial, NR raised brain and blood NAD+ levels and produced modest improvements on a clinical motor-symptom scale, offering one of the few examples where an NR-related clinical endpoint (rather than just a biomarker) moved in a positive direction.
Encouraging but disease-specific: it applies to Parkinson's patients, not the healthy-aging population DoNotAge markets to, and cannot be generalized to claims about general cognitive benefit in healthy consumers.
Conflicts: Academic (University of Bergen); no disclosed link to DoNotAge.

Claim check, vendor claims vs. our reading of the evidence

Not medical advice. We list the strongest claims made by the brand and check each against traceable evidence.

No evidence
“Pure NR is 'backed by research showing support for brain function and focus'”
No specific citation is given for cognitive/focus benefits in healthy users; the closest relevant human data (Brakedal 2022) is in Parkinson's patients, not a healthy-population cognitive-focus outcome.
Supported
“Pure NR restores NAD+ levels and supports mitochondrial health”
Multiple independent human trials (Trammell 2016, Martens 2018, Brakedal 2022) consistently show oral NR raises blood and tissue NAD+ in a dose-dependent way, including at doses close to DoNotAge's higher subscription tier.
Not supported
“Our Pure NR is used by leading researchers in clinical trials, not just sold as a supplement”
We could not identify a specific registered clinical trial using DoNotAge-branded NR as the study material; the major NR trials cited in the scientific literature (Trammell, Martens, Brakedal) used Niagen-brand NR from ChromaDex, not DoNotAge's product.

Regulatory status

What we could not verify

We list this openly. If a claim isn't backed by a source we can trace, we'd rather flag it than repeat it.

  • Whether DoNotAge's Pure NR has ever been the specific material used in an independent academic clinical trial (as opposed to Niagen/ChromaDex-brand NR) could not be confirmed.
  • The exact identity of the third-party lab used for batch purity testing was not disclosed.
Important to know
NRAlmost all commercial NR uses licensed Niagen® from ChromaDex. If a product doesn't say Niagen, ask why.

Editorial notes

Non-Niagen® NR at a fraction of Tru Niagen's price.
