Chromadex recently announced it would sell TruNiagen Pro to doctors. That seems odd since it is just 300 mg of NR a day instead of the recommend 250 mg. I wonder if this might mean that their 100 mg, 300 mg, 1000 mg and placebo study revealed 300 mg is the dose that maintains the NAD+ boost the highest based on comparing their results to Elysium's results of 250 mg and 500 mg study.

Thank you. Could you send their announcement?

http://globenewswire...-TRU-NIAGEN-PRO-Launched-for-Expansive-Distribution-by-Healthcare-Practitioners.html

 

NIAGEN^® and consumer product TRU NIAGEN^®, today announced the launch of TRU NIAGEN PRO (60ct, 300mg per capsule), a partnership with Natural Partners Fullscript, and a new online NAD education hub for healthcare practitioners.

 

Tru Niagen Pro, which will be available exclusively for sale through healthcare practitioners, is the first of its kind, offering 60 capsules – each delivering 300 mg of Niagen^® nicotinamide riboside (NR).

 

Dr. Phillip Milgram, Medical Director of the NAD Treatment Center in San Diego, CA, commented, “I have dedicated my career to increasing patients’ NAD levels for multiple medical indications, health  and longevity. We are very excited to offer Tru Niagen Pro through our clinic.  The growing body of science pointing to the importance of maintaining NAD levels via the use of daily supplementation of clinically proven precursors such as NR continues to build, and we are delighted to be associated with ChromaDex, the pioneers of NR development. We have a clinically proven dose of NR to deliver an effective increase in NAD in a single capsule.”

 

“NAD is required for all cells in the body to function,” says Dr. Alyssa Dweck, OB/GYN and Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. “I recommend Tru Niagen to my patients.”

 

In addition to offering Tru Niagen Pro direct to practitioners, ChromaDex has entered into a newly signed distribution agreement with Natural Partners Fullscript (Scottsdale, AZ), making Tru Niagen products available to their extensive network of over 40,000 healthcare practitioners.

 

Fran Towey, Natural Partners Fullscript CEO commented, “Tru Niagen uniquely addresses the most critical issues facing patients today and is proving to make a real positive difference in people’s lives. We’re excited to be partnering with ChromaDex to bring its innovation to our Natural Partners Fullscript community as well as to bring Tru Niagen Pro exclusively to healthcare practitioners.”

Healthcare practitioners can also now have access to convenient online wholesale purchasing as well as a practitioner-exclusive education hub with a searchable, categorized database of the over 100 published pre-clinical and clinical studies detailing the ability of NAD and NR to support human health.

Certainly appears to be simply a marketing exercise, as Niagen had been available as 300mg dose before they stopped supplying it to most 3rd party vendors (not to mention anyone could take as much as they wanted anyway). Or perhaps this is to make it sound more 'official' by saying it's "exclusively for for sale through healthcare practitioners" and/or so patients will think it is 'real' medicine, not a supplement anyone can buy, simply because of who is telling them to take it. Not to mention the 'wholesale purchasing' sounds suspiciously like offering the medical industry yet another way to make money off their patients. Wonder what the end cost will be sold this way and will it be covered by insurance?

 I love it.  So this Natural Partners Fullscript referenced in the Press Release already carries 250mg Tru Niagen.   60 capsules for $39.95

 

 They also list the "new Pro" 300mg capsules.  Get this, its $79.95 for 60 capsules or 2x the cost for the extra 50mgs.....

No, one capsule of Pro contains 300 mg. It is roughly the same price as TruNiagen.
