ChromaDex Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., ChromaDex International, Inc., ChromaDex Analytics, Inc., ChromaDex Asia Limited, Asia Pacific Scientific, Inc., ChromaDex Asia Pacific Ventures Limited, ChromaDex Europa B.V., ChromaDex Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and ChromaDex Sağlik Ürünleri Anonim Şirketi (collectively, “ChromaDex” or the “Company”) are a global bioscience company dedicated to healthy aging. The ChromaDex team, which includes world renowned scientists, is pioneering research on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential coenzyme that is a key regulator of cellular metabolism and is found in every cell of the human body. NAD+ levels in humans have been shown to decline with age, among other factors, and may be increased through administration of NAD+ precursors.
ChromaDex is the innovator behind the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside chloride (“NRC”, commonly referred to as “NR”), commercialized as the flagship ingredient Niagen®, available in both food and pharmaceutical grades. Nicotinamide riboside chloride and other NAD+ precursors are protected by ChromaDex’s patent and/or licensed rights portfolio. The Company delivers food-grade Niagen® as the sole or principal dietary ingredient in its dietary supplement consumer product line, Tru Niagen®. As part of its consumer product offerings, the Company offers NAD+ test kits exclusively to healthcare practitioners. Furthermore, the Company develops and commercializes proprietary ingredient technologies, including food-grade Niagen® and pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®, and supplies these ingredients as raw materials to the manufacturers of consumer products and U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, respectively. Additionally, the Company provides natural product fine chemicals, known as phytochemicals, and related research and development services.
