Niagen® At-Home Injection Kits Are Here, Plus What Two New Pilot Studies Reveal
Pharmaceutical-grade Niagen® injectable therapy used to mean a trip to a clinic. Not anymore. The Niagen® At-Home Injection Kit is now available through our telehealth program—clinician-directed, prescription-only, and delivered to your door.
Additionally, the first published clinical safety data on injectable nicotinamide riboside (NR) was released this spring, and the at-home self-administration findings are part of what makes this moment possible.
Here's what's new, how it works, and what the science says.
See If You Qualify for an At-Home Kit
Niagen® injectable therapy is a prescription product, so step one is a clinical eligibility review. The whole process happens online:
-
Start your consultation. Complete a short health questionnaire after checkout.
-
Clinician review. A licensed provider evaluates your health information and decides whether prescription Niagen® is appropriate for you.
-
Kit ships to your door. If approved, a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy fulfills your prescription and ships everything you need for subcutaneous administration at home.
-
Scan and start. A QR code inside the kit walks you through step-by-step administration instructions.
Each order includes direct chat access to your licensed clinician through your account, so questions about dosing, technique, or anything else don't have to wait.

The Niagen® At-Home Injection Kit may not be appropriate for everyone. A licensed clinician reviews your health information to determine eligibility. Currently not available to ship to Alabama or California.
What's Inside the Kit
The At-Home Injection Kit is a complete, prescription-grade system for self-administered subcutaneous (sub-q) NR injections:
-
Pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®: patented nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCl), the same NAD+ precursor backed by 25+ years of science.
-
Compounded under cGMP standards at a licensed 503B outsourcing facility.
-
Everything needed for at-home administration, included in the box.
-
Direct clinician access through your order for ongoing support.
In-Clinic vs. At-Home: Which Path Is Right for You?
Both options deliver the same patented Niagen® (NRCl). The difference is where and how you receive your therapy.
Niagen® In-Clinic (IV) is administered intravenously by a clinician at one of our partner clinics. It's the right fit if you prefer hands-on, in-person care, or if your clinician determines an IV protocol is best for you.
Niagen® At-Home (Subcutaneous Injection Kit) is clinician-directed via telehealth and self-administered. It's the right fit if you want pharmaceutical-grade Niagen® without the in-clinic visit, on a schedule that fits your life.

What the New Pilot Study Results Reveal
Our new at-home offering is grounded in the first published clinical safety data on injectable NR in humans—two pilot studies conducted by researchers at Niagen Bioscience, our parent company, the Nutraceuticals Research Institute, and Impact Health Medical.
AboutNAD published a thorough breakdown of the findings, which you can read here: Nicotinamide Riboside Injections: What Two New Pilot Studies Reveal About Safety. The highlights:
-
Two first-of-their-kind pilot trials evaluated NR injections via subcutaneous (sub-q) and intramuscular (IM) routes in humans.
-
Generally well-tolerated. Across both studies, no serious treatment-related adverse events were reported. The most common reactions were typical injection-site discomfort—some pain or muscle soreness for IM, some redness or itching for sub-q.
-
At-home self-injection was shown to be feasible under protocol-defined conditions—a notable finding for the field and directly relevant to the at-home kit program.
-
Preliminary signals around modest reductions in systolic blood pressure, inflammation markers (hsCRP), and fasting blood glucose were observed, though the authors appropriately flag these as hypothesis-generating and in need of larger, placebo-controlled trials to confirm.
-
Vital signs and blood chemistry remained within normal ranges throughout.
Study 2 is particularly relevant to the At-Home Kit conversation: after an initial three-day in-clinic phase, participants transitioned to self-administering subcutaneous injections at home three times per week for 90 days.

Why Quality Matters More When You're Injecting
A point the AboutNAD article hammers home is worth repeating: sterility and pharmaceutical-grade quality are non-negotiable for any injectable NAD+ product.
The FDA has already issued recalls of injectable NAD+ products on the market due to contamination concerns. Injections bypass the digestive system—meaning they also bypass one of your body's primary defenses against contaminants.
That's why every Niagen® At-Home Injection Kit is:
-
Patented Niagen® (NRCl)—not a generic NAD+ blend
-
Compounded at a licensed 503B outsourcing facility under cGMP standards
-
Fulfilled by a licensed 503A pharmacy with each prescription
-
Clinician-prescribed and clinician-supported, end to end
If you're considering injectable NR, this is the standard to hold any product to.
