From the day ChromaDex was formed in 1999, our relationships with leading universities and scientific institutions have informed our work and helped us build the company brick by brick. The brightest minds in scientific innovation have led us in an undying pursuit of quality and high standards in all that we do. With our growth and the commercialization of nicotinamide riboside (NR) as Niagen® (nicotinamide riboside chloride, or NRCl), we’ve maintained scientific rigor and cutting-edge manufacturing practices.
Our state-of-the-art research and development facility in Longmont, CO, serves as the hub for for all things quality at ChromaDex as we continue to share our revolutionary science with the world and provide customers with the highest-quality products.
Accepted by the United States FDA & multiple international regulatory bodies
The FDA successfully reviewed Niagen twice—in 2015 and 2018—under its New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notification program, and our ingredient was successfully notified to the FDA as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in 2016. While the FDA does not regulate the dietary supplement industry, few companies go through the notification process with the FDA. Successful FDA notifications are an extra level of assurance that our key ingredient is safe and effective.
Gold standard transparency & authenticity
Every lot of Tru Niagen® is tested for potency, safety, and purity, and certificates of analysis are readily available so consumers can trace their products directly to our lab.
All batches are tested to ensure compliance to specifications and label claims, including potency through end of shelf life. A total of 22 tests (internal and third-party) are conducted in the testing and release of Tru Niagen products, including the testing of the raw Niagen ingredient.
Our laboratories are ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited. All manufacturing facilities are visited and inspected frequently by our internal inspectors and third-party certifiers including NSF, Alkemist Labs, Star-K (Kosher), and IFANCA (Halal).
