LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) research with a focus on healthy aging, today announced its inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index as part of the annual reconstitution of the Russell stock indexes. This inclusion will be effective at the opening of U.S. equity markets on Monday, July 1, 2024, based on the preliminary list of additions posted on Friday, May 24, 2024.

Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex and Founder of Tru Niagen commented, "Joining the Russell 2000 Index reflects our sustained growth and leadership in NAD+ research. Tru Niagen® is the gold standard NAD+ supplement, backed by scientific rigor, the highest quality standards, and a robust intellectual property portfolio. This achievement underscores our commitment to driving long-term value for our shareholders as we expand our global footprint, innovate with new products, and advance the science of healthy aging."

The annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of Friday, June 28, 2024, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. all-cap Russell 3000® Index, which lasts for one year, guarantees automatic inclusion in either the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, along with the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell primarily determines index membership based on objective market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

The ChromaDex team, comprised of world-renowned scientists, works with independent investigators from esteemed universities and research institutions around the globe to uncover the full potential of NAD+. A vital coenzyme found in every cell of the human body, NAD+ declines with age and exposure to other everyday stressors, which contributes to age-related changes in health and vitality.

Setting the benchmark as the gold standard in scientific rigor and quality in the dietary supplement space, ChromaDex is the innovator behind its clinically proven flagship ingredient, Niagen® (patented nicotinamide riboside, or NR). Clinically proven to increase NAD+ levels, Niagen is the most efficient and superior-quality NAD+ booster helping people transform the way they age.

Food-grade Niagen is available in the consumer dietary supplement Tru Niagen®, the number one healthy-aging oral NAD+ supplement in the United States*, and through partnerships with global retailers and distributors. Pharmaceutical-grade Niagen will soon be available through FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities and will be administered at clinics pursuant to a valid prescription.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $10.5 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell's U.S. indexes. FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider, administers these indexes.
