Niagen®, the proprietary ingredient in Tru Niagen®, is the world’s most efficient, patent protected nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursor on the market, particularly over NMN, and is one of the most promising ingredients to have entered the healthy aging supplement space. Supplementation with Niagen® is backed by 20 published and peer-reviewed clinical trials, backed by over 200 published scientific studies and has over 30 owned and licensed patents.
“China’s marketplace remains strategically important as consumers already understand the benefits of elevating NAD+ and it is our intention to become the leading provider of NAD+ boosting supplements in the market,” said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex. “NHNE offers the perfect platform to reach a diverse network of distributors and retailers to expand Tru Niagen® cross-border sales as we work toward achieving Blue Hat approval in the market with Sinopharm Xingsha. We are grateful to Sinopharm Xingsha for leading the debut of Tru Niagen® at NHNE.”
In addition to receiving prime real estate in Sinopharm Xingsha’s 162 meter booth at the exhibition site, Tru Niagen® will host a celebratory press conference featuring a video of ChromaDex CEO, Rob Fried, following the NHNE opening ceremony.
