New ingredient collaboration debuts Solgar’s first NAD⁺ boosting supplement and reinforces NIAGEN as the gold standard in the NAD⁺ supplement category

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) and healthy aging research, announces an ingredient partnership with Solgar^®, a Nestlé Health Science brand. Solgar’s inaugural NAD⁺ supplement, Solgar Cellular Nutrition Cellular Energy, features ChromaDex’s patented nicotinamide riboside (NR) ingredient, NIAGEN^® to support NAD⁺ levels for cellular health. This product marks a significant milestone in the health and wellness industry by combining ChromaDex’s industry-leading NAD⁺ research with Solgar’s longstanding reputation for scientifically backed supplements.

“NIAGEN NR is a testament to our dedication to the highest scientific rigor and quality standards. This ingredient partnership with Nestlé Health Science and Solgar is a powerful alliance to advance healthy aging for all,” said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex and Founder of Tru Niagen.

NAD⁺ is an essential coenzyme that plays a vital role in cellular functions, including mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, and DNA repair. NIAGEN NR, the most efficient NAD⁺ precursor, is backed by two Nobel Prize winners, 30+ human clinical studies, 300 published scientific studies, has been accepted by the world’s most rigorous regulatory bodies, and 300mg of NIAGEN NR is clinically shown to increase NAD⁺ by over 50% in two weeks.

Solgar Cellular Energy features 300mg of NIAGEN NR to support cell energy, repair, and vitality. Solgar Cellular Energy helps renew the body’s natural ability to transform nutrients into energy – the energy cells need each day. In addition to NIAGEN NR, the product features a blend of six B vitamins (B₁, B₂, B₆, B₁₂, Biotin, and Pantothenic Acid) and vitamin C for immune, heart, and nerve health, delivering a holistic approach to healthy aging.
