The promising results demonstrate that long-term supplementation with Niagen NR effectively increased whole blood NAD+ levels up to fourfold, improved coordination, and enhanced eye movement while maintaining biomarkers of stable liver and kidney function in Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) patients.

Key Points: 
  • The promising results demonstrate that long-term supplementation with Niagen NR effectively increased whole blood NAD+ levels up to fourfold, improved coordination, and enhanced eye movement while maintaining biomarkers of stable liver and kidney function in Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) patients.
  • AT is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by premature aging, cerebellar degeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition.

    Building on a growing body of research, this is the second published study ( Veenhuis et al.
  • This growing body of research is promising as it demonstrates that NR supplementation may be a potential therapeutic strategy for AT patients.”

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced promising findings from a first-of-its-kind clinical study published in the peer-reviewed journal, Movement Disorders , conducted by Michl A.A.P.

Key Points: 
  • ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced promising findings from a first-of-its-kind clinical study published in the peer-reviewed journal, Movement Disorders , conducted by Michl A.A.P.
  • The study investigated ChromaDexs proprietary Niagen ingredient (patented nicotinamide riboside, or NR) in patients with ataxia-telangiectasia (AT), a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by premature aging, cerebellar degeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition.
  • The study found that supplementation with NR improved ataxia scores and increased immunoglobulins, or antibodies, in the immune-compromised patients.
  • The results of this study are promising for those living with AT and are consistent with previous preclinical research.
