LOS ANGELES – ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced that it will host a key opinion leader (KOL) webinar on the transforming benefits of nicotinamide riboside (NR) on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at 11:00 am Eastern Time.

The webinar will feature a presentation from KOL and discoverer of the vitamin activity of NR, Dr. Charles Brenner, Alfred E Mann Family Foundation Chair in Diabetes and Cancer Metabolism at City of Hope National Medical Center and ChromaDex Chief Scientific Advisor, who will discuss the latest research on NR and its many benefits as a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺). NAD⁺ is the central catalyst to multiple metabolic processes and a critical ally to cellular resilience and repair in healthy aging.

ChromaDex’s consumer supplement, Tru Niagen®, which features the company’s proprietary ingredient Niagen®, patented NR, will be discussed as the market’s most scientifically supported way to boost NAD⁺. Additionally, ChromaDex’s President & CEO, Rob Fried, will provide a company update.

A live question and answer session will follow. The event is open to the public and to register, please click here.
