ChromaDex Announces Pharmaceutical-Grade Intravenous and Injectable Niagen® Will Debut at Leading Wellness Clinics in August

U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility, Wells Pharma of Houston, will compound and distribute Niagen (nicotinamide riboside chloride) IV and injections to Cenegenics, Clean Market/NutriDrip, Drip Hydration, EXTEN IV, Kensho Wellbeing, The NAD MD, Next Health, The Remedy Room, Restore Hyper Wellness, and REVIV

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) research with a focus on healthy aging, announces Wells Pharma of Houston will begin shipping limited quantities of pharmaceutical-grade Niagen® (patented nicotinamide riboside chloride or NRC), branded Niagen+, to select IV clinics including Cenegenics, Clean Market/NutriDrip, Drip Hydration, EXTEN IV, Kensho Wellbeing, The NAD MD, Next Health, The Remedy Room, Restore Hyper Wellness, and REVIV in August, with additional clinics set to receive shipments soon after. U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility, Wells Pharma of Houston, will compound and distribute pharmaceutical-grade intravenous (IV) and injectable Niagen, which will be available in IV, shots, and intravenous-push forms exclusively at clinics, with a prescription.

“Science-based health clinics nationwide are eager to offer Niagen IV as a superior alternative to NAD+ IV,” said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex. “We welcome this group of clinics as the first to offer Niagen IV and look forward to announcing additional availability soon.”

Niagen IV represents a significant advancement in intravenous NAD+ therapy. Compared to standard NAD+ IV treatments, Niagen IV offers superior tolerability, a 75% shorter infusion time, and a higher, faster rise in NAD+ blood levels three hours post-infusion, as measured by NAD+ dried blood spot tests (MedRxiv).

Increasing interest in intravenous therapies positions Niagen+ for significant growth within the intravenous hydration therapy market, valued at over $2.32 billion globally and $1.15 billion in North America in 2022 (Grand View Research). With an order already placed by Wells Pharma of Houston securing pharmaceutical-grade Niagen for clinics beyond August and hundreds more clinics in the pipeline for the rest of the year, Niagen IV is well-situated to cover the entirety of the US intravenous hydration market with ChromaDex’s new, superior product. Additionally, with the popularity of IV and injection procedures on the rise, we see significant opportunity to further expand into categories such as medical spas, with 11,000 locations operating in the US alone, according to the American Med Spa Association.

Kris Fishman, President of Wells Pharmacy Network, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with ChromaDex on Niagen+. Through our 503B pharmacy network, we will compound this innovative product for clinics across the U.S.”

Clean Market/NutriDrip, Next Health, REVIV, and Restore Hyper Wellness celebrate the launch of Niagen+:

  • Asa Kitfield, Managing Partner at Clean Market & NutriDrip, remarked, “We are thrilled to unveil Niagen IV at Clean Market locations and The Spa by Equinox Hotels at Hudson Yards as a groundbreaking wellness solution that perfectly aligns with our commitment to enhancing health and vitality. Niagen IV offers reduced side effects and a shorter infusion time, making it more compelling than traditional NAD+ infusions. This means our clients can enjoy the benefits of enhanced cellular health and energy production with greater comfort and ease. We are confident pharmaceutical grade Niagen will become a cornerstone of our injectable wellness treatments, delivering the exceptional results our clients expect.”
  • Darshan Shah, M.D., board-certified surgeon, founder of Next Health, and ChromaDex consultant, noted, “Niagen IV is a game changer, minimizing the unpleasant side effects of NAD+ IV and maximizing absorption. The approach ChromaDex has taken with their hero ingredient, nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC), finally makes IV therapy for mitochondrial health a true reality."
  • Johnny Parvani, M.D., Founder and Chief Medical Officer of REVIV, added, “I am thrilled to launch Niagen IV and injections to our network of healthcare practitioners.

At REVIV, we are committed to pioneering solutions that enhance human health for our customers. As a better alternative to NAD+ IV, we believe Niagen IV and injections will redefine the longevity wellness category, enabling healthcare providers to optimize patient outcomes with an innovation backed by the highest scientific and quality standards.”
