Tru Niagen is now available to US troops through an exclusive Military program

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ: CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) and healthy aging research, is proud to announce its inaugural initiative to support the US Military.

As the most efficient, studied, and high-quality NAD+ boosting supplement on the market, ChromaDex’s patented nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplement, Tru Niagen^®, is now being utilized by US Military Special Operations Forces, marking a significant milestone in the product's journey toward promoting cellular health and resilience. In a gesture of gratitude and further support US troops, ChromaDex has launched an exclusive program that offers Tru Niagen products to active and veteran Military Service Members. This initiative reflects ChromaDex’s commitment to the health and well-being of those who serve the Nation.

NAD⁺ is an essential coenzyme vital for cellular health and NR is the most efficient way to elevate NAD⁺ levels due to its ability to cross directly through the cell membrane. Clinically proven to safely and effectively increase NAD⁺, Tru Niagen supports cellular energy, combats physiological stress, and aids in cellular repair and recovery – all of which are vital for the physically demanding environments encountered in military operations.

"We are honored that Tru Niagen will play a role in the health and wellness of our troops,” said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex. “This further underscores the significance of NAD⁺ in physically demanding professions."

As the gold standard NAD⁺ boosting supplement, Tru Niagen embodies the highest scientific rigor and quality standards and is backed by two Nobel Prize winners, 30+ human clinical studies, 300 published scientific studies, and accepted by the world’s most rigorous regulatory bodies. Tru Niagen products are certified by NSF for Sport, Alkemist Labs, Star-K (Kosher), and IFANCA (Halal) and every lot of Tru Niagen is tested for potency, safety, and purity. Certificates of analysis are readily available so each bottle can be traced directly to ChromaDex’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory.

"As a clinician focused on the nexus of health and performance, I recognize the paramount importance of cellular health and mitochondrial optimization. This is particularly true in high-stress, physically demanding environments like those faced by military personnel. Tru Niagen stands out as the leading, gold-standard NAD⁺ supplement in this regard. Its ability to effectively boost NAD⁺ levels and support mitochondrial function is crucial for maintaining cellular resilience, energy metabolism, and overall cellular repair. Further, it features patented nicotinamide riboside (NR), which is the most efficient NAD⁺ precursor available. These benefits are essential for military members who regularly encounter extreme physical and psychological stress. Incorporating Tru Niagen into their regimen can be a game-changer in optimizing their performance and recovery, ensuring they are always mission-ready," remarked Dr. Jim Lavalle, Clinical Pharmacist, CEO of Metabolic Code Enterprises, and ChromaDex Consultant.

This initiative highlights ChromaDex's dedication to continuing to pioneer NAD⁺ research and its commitment to providing high-quality, science-backed products. As the leading NAD⁺ boosting supplement available, Tru Niagen has already made a significant impact on the health and wellness industry, and its adoption by the US Military is a testament to its effectiveness, quality, and reliability.
