About ChromaDex:

ChromaDex leverages its complementary business units to discover, acquire, develop and commercialize patented and proprietary health and wellness consumer products and ingredient technologies that promote healthy longevity. In addition to our consumer product and ingredient technologies units, we also have business units focused on natural product fine chemicals (known as "phytochemicals"), and product regulatory and safety consulting. As a result of our relationships with leading universities and research institutions, we are able to discover and license early stage, IP-backed ingredient technologies. We then utilize our in-house chemistry, regulatory and safety consulting business units to develop commercially viable ingredients. Our consumer product and ingredient portfolio are backed with clinical and scientific research, as well as extensive IP protection. Our portfolio of patented ingredient technologies includes  NIAGEN ^®  nicotinamide riboside;  pTeroPure ^®  pterostilbene;  PURENERGY ^® , a caffeine-pTeroPure ^®  co-crystal;  IMMULINA ^™ , a spirulina extract; and  AnthOrigin ^® ,  anthocyanins derived from a domestically-produced, water-extracted purple corn husk.
