No. Thorne does not make an NMN supplement and never has. Thorne’s NAD+ products, NiaCel 400 and ResveraCel, are built on nicotinamide riboside (NR, sold as Niagen), a different NAD+ precursor. If you searched for “Thorne NMN”, you are choosing between Thorne’s NR and an NMN product from another brand.
What Thorne actually sells for NAD+
NiaCel 400. 415 mg of nicotinamide riboside per capsule plus 85 mg of betaine, 60 capsules for about $70. The betaine is there to support methylation, which high-dose NR can tax. NSF Certified for Sport. We scored it 8.0/10; the full Thorne NiaCel 400 review covers dosing and value.
ResveraCel. A lower NR dose combined with trans-resveratrol, quercetin phytosome and betaine, 60 capsules for about $60. It is the pick if you want NR and resveratrol in one capsule. Scored 8.1/10 in our ResveraCel review.
Neither contains NMN. Thorne has chosen NR for its NAD+ line and lists no NMN product on its site.
Does that matter? NR versus NMN
Both raise NAD+ in human trials. NR has more published human data, most of it on Niagen, which is the form Thorne uses. NMN is one step closer to NAD+ in the pathway and is usually cheaper per milligram. Neither has convincingly beaten the other in a head-to-head human trial. Our NMN vs NR comparison goes through the studies.
The honest summary: if you trust Thorne’s manufacturing and want the best-studied precursor, NiaCel 400 is a good NR product. If you specifically want NMN, Thorne is not the brand.
If you want NMN, these are the brands we rate
- DoNotAge Pure NMN, 8.4/10. Third-party tested powder, about $0.87 per 500 mg dose. Best value.
- Alive By Science NMN, 8.3/10. Sublingual tablets, $54.95 for 240.
- Renue By Science liposomal NMN, 8.2/10. Capsules, $64.95 for 45 servings.
- Wonderfeel Youngr, 8.2/10. 900 mg NMN plus resveratrol, $88 a month.

Questions people ask
Is Thorne NiaCel the same as NMN?
No. NiaCel contains nicotinamide riboside (NR). NMN and NR are different molecules; both are converted to NAD+ in the body.
Which is cheaper, Thorne NR or NMN?
NMN, usually. NiaCel 400 works out around $1.17 per 415 mg capsule. DoNotAge NMN powder is about $0.87 per 500 mg dose.
Can I take Thorne NiaCel and NMN together?
There is no evidence of harm from combining them, but there is also no evidence the combination beats a proper dose of either one. Pick one, take it consistently, and judge after 8 to 12 weeks.
