**Niagen Bioscience Announces $10 Million Share Repurchase Program**

LOS ANGELES – November 6, 2025 – <u>Niagen Bioscience, Inc</u>.

"We believe Niagen Bioscience is an excellent investment and the Program is a compelling use of the company's capital presently," said Rob Fried, Chief Executive Officer of Niagen Bioscience.

Under the Program, Niagen Bioscience may repurchase shares in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to applicable laws and market conditions.

The Niagen Bioscience team, composed of world-renowned scientists, works with independent investigators from esteemed universities and research institutions around the globe to uncover the full potential of NAD+.

At the heart of its clinically proven product portfolio is Niagen® (patented nicotinamide riboside, or NR), the most efficient, well-researched, high-quality, and legal NAD+ booster available. Niagen powers the Company's consumer supplement, Tru Niagen®, the number one NAD+ boosting oral supplement in the United States† (available at <u>www.truniagen.com</u>), and Niagen Plus™, featuring pharmaceutical-grade intravenous (IV) and injectable Niagen products (<u>www.niagenplus.com</u>). Pharmaceutical-grade Niagen IV and injections are compounded and distributed by U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities and are available exclusively at clinics with a prescription.

Niagen Bioscience's robust patent portfolio protects NR and other NAD+ precursors. Niagen Bioscience maintains a website at www.niagenbioscience.com, where copies of press releases, news, and financial information are regularly published.
