Niagen Bioscience reports 30% revenue growth to $129.4M in 2025, ends year with $64.8M cash and no debt

Niagen Bioscience reported 16% year-over-year revenue growth in Q4 2025, reaching $33.8 million, whilst full-year 2025 net revenue grew 30% to $129.4 million. The Nasdaq-listed company ended the year with $64.8 million in cash and no debt. The firm secured a patent for nicotinamide riboside and derivatives in intravenous and injectable formulations, initially launching one SKU targeting the biohacker and longevity communities. CEO Rob Fried said the injections would be priced lower than IV treatments. However, Niagen faces challenges including increased competition in the NAD space and FDA uncertainty around NMN's dietary supplement status. Its No Park Parkinson's study failed to achieve its primary endpoint. The company projects more conservative 10-15% growth for 2026, down from 2025's 30%.
