ChromaDex Launches Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit Available Exclusively to Health Care Practitioners (HCPs)

Results from the at-home test kit are available to HCPs and their patients through 1health

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) research with a focus on healthy aging, launches the Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit*, now available exclusively through the company’s healthcare practitioner (HCP) channel. This innovative test kit provides practitioners with a reliable method for measuring patient blood NAD+ levels, helping them create more personalized and effective patient protocols using ChromaDex’s NAD+-boosting HCP products, Tru Niagen® and Niagen+.

Tru Niagen is a suite of oral dietary supplements featuring Niagen (patented nicotinamide riboside or NR), the most efficient and high-quality NAD+ precursor available. Niagen+ features pharmaceutical-grade Niagen (patented nicotinamide riboside chloride or NRC) and will soon be available as Niagen IV and injections exclusively at clinics from U.S. FDA 503B-registered outsourcing facilities with a prescription. Representing a significant advancement in intravenous NAD+ therapy, practitioners are eager to provide Niagen IV therapy to patients.

Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex and Founder of Tru Niagen, noted, "Our healthcare practitioners have requested a tool to measure blood NAD+ levels, and we believe this is the best product now available on the market."

Setting a new standard in analytical NAD+ measurement methods, the Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit features cutting-edge dried blood spot (DBS) assay technology, ensuring the stability of NAD+ samples during transport for precise and accurate results. Other test kits use a less reliable DBS card, which requires adding a fixer solution to stabilize NAD+, which often degrades during the DBS drying process. With this innovative Niagen+ NAD+ test, HCPs can provide patients with personalized and effective protocols by more accurately tracking NAD+ changes over time.

Key Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit features:

  • Innovative test card technology: A unique blood spot test card maintains the stability of NAD+ throughout the transport process and ensures accurate measurement.
  • Baseline and progress tracking: While each HCP will determine the patient protocol, the test can be used to understand NAD+ levels before Tru Niagen NAD+-boosting and/or Niagen IV and injections to establish a baseline and again after NAD+ boosting therapy to track changes.
  • Validated, trusted results: Analyses are conducted at a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited clinical genomics and biochemical testing laboratory with expertise in mass spec-based assays.
  • Precision analysis: NAD+ measurements are conducted on the blood sample affixed to the DBS card using the gold standard analytical method, high-resolution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

How it works:

HCPs will provide patients with an at-home Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit, which patients will register on the 1health platform. Once registered, the patient will follow the instructions within the kit to procure a sample with the DBS card and send it to the lab using a prepaid envelope. Results will be available to both patients and doctors in about two weeks through 1health.

Mehdi Maghsoodnia, CEO at 1health, emphasized the critical role of 1health’s platform in the successful launch of the Niagen+ NAD+ Test Kit. “We are proud to partner with ChromaDex to bring this innovative testing solution to healthcare practitioners. Our robust software seamlessly integrates with both the warehouse and the lab, ensuring efficient fulfillment of kits and accurate delivery of results. This collaboration provides invaluable insights for practitioners aiming to optimize their patients' NAD+ levels, enabling personalized and effective NAD+ boosting protocols, such as Tru Niagen oral supplementation and soon Niagen IV and injection, to maximize therapeutic outcomes.”
