Designed to support a healthier, longer life, the supplement includes Niagen, the gold standard ingredient for enhancing NAD+ levels and optimizing cellular health.

Longevity.Technology, a leading media and research organization in the longevity field, launched its consumer division to deliver rigorously validated supplements that address the biological aspects of aging.

With its origins in reference standards, ChromaDex has grown to the forefront of the NAD+ field, making the company an ideal partner for Longevity.Technology.

“Niagen NR is by far the most efficient, safe, and legal precursor among all NAD+ boosters,” said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex and founder of Tru Niagen^®. “By choosing Niagen as a hero ingredient in this first supplement, Longevity.Technology is helping to make science-based solutions for healthy aging accessible to a broader audience. We are thrilled to support their mission with our commitment to quality and clinical evidence.”

Backed by the highest scientific and quality standards, Niagen is the most efficient, high-quality NAD+ precursor available. Niagen has over 30 peer-reviewed human clinical studies demonstrating the benefits of elevating NAD+ in key health areas such as cellular, brain, heart, and muscle health. ChromaDex’s robust intellectual property (IP) portfolio of 90+ owned and licensed patents protects Niagen and other NAD+ precursors. Niagen is a food-grade ingredient available through business partnerships, such as with Longevity.Technology, and the active ingredient in ChromaDex’s consumer supplement brand, Tru Niagen, the number one healthy-aging NAD+ supplement in the United States*.

“After years of reviewing the science behind longevity, we saw the need for products that are grounded in human evidence,” said Dev Heaton, head of Longevity.Technology’s Consumer Division. “Our partnership with ChromaDex ensures that Longevity.Technology LONGEVITY is formulated with the highest standards of scientific validation, giving our customers the confidence that they’re using a supplement proven to support their healthspan.”
