National rollout provides enhanced accessibility to Niagen IV, a significant advancement in NAD+ IV therapy

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) research with a focus on healthy aging, today announced the nationwide rollout of its pharmaceutical-grade nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC) products, Niagen® IV, now accessible at over 200 Restore Hyper Wellness locations across the United States. This represents a major milestone, making Niagen IV—a significant advancement in intravenous NAD+ therapy—more widely accessible to wellness enthusiasts looking to enhance cellular health and extend their healthspan.

Available in oral and IV forms, ChromaDex's clinically proven patented ingredient, Niagen, is the most efficient, high-quality NAD+ precursor available. NAD+ is a coenzyme that powers cells and supports metabolic processes throughout the body, yet it declines with age and due to everyday stressors like sun exposure, high-fat diets, overtraining, and sedentary lifestyles—a decline linked to both age-related and other health conditions.

The IV formulations support the rapid and efficient delivery of Niagen. Outperforming NAD+ IV in the pilot clinical study, Niagen IV offered superior tolerability, a 75% shorter infusion time, and resulted in a statistically significant 20% increase in whole blood NAD+ levels three hours post-infusion, as measured by NAD+ dried blood spot tests (MedRxiv).

"Niagen IV is a superior solution to traditional NAD+ IV," said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex. "We are pleased that reliably science based Restore Hyper Wellness recognizes these advantages and is offering Niagen IV nationwide."

Restore Hyper Wellness, known for its innovative approach to proactive health and wellness, provides access to advanced modalities, with safety and efficacy as core principles. Restore's extensive network of clinics offers clients a holistic experience designed to address their wellness goals and optimize physical health.

"We've seen firsthand how Niagen IV elevates the wellness experience for our clients, delivering enhanced cellular support compared to NAD+ IV," said Dr. Rachele Pojednic, Director of Scientific Research & Education at Restore Hyper Wellness. "Pharmaceutical-grade Niagen provides a cutting-edge option that reflects our commitment to impactful, science-driven care."

U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility, Wells Pharma of Houston, compounds and distributes pharmaceutical-grade Niagen for clinics, which is available as Niagen IV exclusively for clinics, such as Restore Hyper Wellness, with medical clearance.
