LOS ANGELES, Oct. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) announced today that it will highlight its new TRU NIAGEN^® PRO product at the NAMS Annual Meeting 2018 in San Diego, CA, beginning today through Oct. 6.

“Aging is so much more than skin deep—down to the cellular level. NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is critical for mitochondria function, and healthy mitochondria are a vital part of healthy living as we age,” says gynecologist and NAMS member Alyssa Dweck, MS, MD, FACOG, Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and a consultant at the Vincent Obstetrics and Gynecology Service at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Increasing NAD may further boost energy levels before, during, and after the menopausal transition.”

The sole active ingredient in Tru Niagen Pro is NIAGEN^® nicotinamide riboside, a unique form of vitamin B3 clinically proven to safely increase one’s levels of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Decreased NAD levels have been associated with many age-related changes in overall health.

Tru Niagen team members will be at the event, available to discuss the latest published human evidence, to register practitioners on the new NAD education hub and discuss how they can bring Tru Niagen Pro directly to their patients. Practitioners should visit booth #116 early to get a complimentary bottle of Tru Niagen Pro, as supplies are limited.
