“We are happy to see the continued interest and rapid adoption of Niagen+ among top wellness clinics and look forward to announcing more locations soon,” said Eric Huynh, Vice President of Business Development at ChromaDex.
ChromaDex’s flagship ingredient, Niagen, is available in oral and IV forms and clinically proven to elevate NAD+ levels, a coenzyme vital to cell health involved in cellular energy production and DNA repair. The IV and injection formulations support the rapid and efficient delivery of Niagen. Outperforming NAD+ IV in the pilot clinical study, Niagen IV offered superior tolerability, a 75% shorter infusion time, and resulted in a statistically significant 20% increase in whole blood NAD+ levels three hours post-infusion, as measured by NAD+ dried blood spot tests (MedRxiv).
Impact Health Medical, Fountain Life, The Remedy Room, and VYVE Wellness celebrate the launch of Niagen+:
- Halland Chen, MD, Double Board Certified physician and Founder of Impact Health Medical, stated, “As a researcher deeply focused on NAD+ therapy and Regenerative Medicine, I am excited about the introduction of Niagen IV.

By enhancing cellular repair, Niagen IV represents a groundbreaking advancement in our ability to support and enhance the body’s natural defenses. I am confident that Niagen IV will become an essential tool in the pursuit of longevity and overall health, providing patients with a more comfortable and effective option compared to traditional NAD+ infusions.”
- Helen Messier, PhD, MD, Chief Medical and Science Officer at Fountain Life, commented, “At Fountain Life we are always searching for the latest evidence-based therapeutics to promote health optimization and longevity.
