Never before have retail investors been more important to the prospects of small-cap public companies both to drive their businesses and their share prices through the use of social platforms. Let’s leave aside the recent exceptional case of GameStop (GME). But look what retail did to possibly save AMC (ticker: AMC). Incredible. As for small-caps like Chromadex (CDXC) (Nicotinamide Riboside or NR), its management undoubtedly realizes that their vocal community of early adopters (many of whom are also retail shareholders) have played a significant role in driving sales through “Word of Mouth” by sharing their experiences online and encouraging others to give NR a try. Rarely do you see such an active community take daily to Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and even Seeking Alpha (Disclosure) to spread word of the merits of a consumer product. This community represents a remarkable asset. As a result, Chromadex management has agreed to consider community questions for their upcoming March 10th earnings call. While management is obviously limited in what they can say, let’s use this opportunity to tell them what’s on our minds in the comments section below. And, of course, we’ll also enjoy the added benefit of hearing what’s on the minds of other smart investors, scientists, and consumers who are as interested as we are in the future of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews).

Last week, a new Phase 3 human clinical study conducted in Turkey demonstrated that patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who received the standard of care experienced a 3.5 day reduction in recovery time when receiving a nutritional protocol. The nutritional protocol included Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). These Phase 3 results follow Phase 2 data which were published in October 2020. Below are Dr Charles Brenner’s (who discovered NR as an NAD precursor vitamin) evaluation of the two studies and his opinion on the role of NR.
During a webcast yesterday titled “Cellular Health: The Next Big Market Opportunity“, Nestlé Health Science’s Joelle Legree spoke at great length explaining the strategy behind the recent launch of Celltrient. Of course, Celltrient is Nestlé Health’s (a Nestlé subsidiary) new brand focused on cellular health. And, for those interested in raising NAD levels, one of Celltrient’s three new products “Celltrient Energy” contains Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). How does Nestlé Health and its team of scientists feel about the NR vs NMN debate? Key quotes:
As we’ve discussed previously, Nestlé Health (a subsidiary of Nestlé) recently introduced a new product containing Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in partnership with Chromadex. Since then, Nestlé has launched a vigorous campaign to educate the general public about N.A.D. and NR in an effort to accelerate consumer adoption of its various new Celltrient products. At RaisingNAD, we’re always on the lookout for content that explains NAD and NR in plain, non-scientific English — even if it comes from an advertisement. So, here’s some key quotes from a Nestlé “Sponsored Article” in Newsweek:
In response to a Twitter question this weekend from Bill Walker about whether it’s beneficial to take breaks from vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews), Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered NR as an NAD precursor vitamin) said the following.

It seemed plausible considering that another Nestle division Nestle Health recently launched a new brand with NR as a key ingredient.
While not yet well known or understood by the general public, the NAD system is crucial to all of our lives. NAD expert Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD boosting vitamin supplement) explained NAD in a handful of Tweets earlier today:
If you’re focused on maintaining your NAD levels, you should be aware that simply eating a healthy diet may not be enough.

Small-cap public companies typically use investor conferences to pitch their stories in brief. Chromadex (Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews)) did so at the LD Conference yesterday. One can assume they were targeting an audience of non-scientists. Here’s how they explained NAD:
We know that regular folks take NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and experience incredible results. But Chromadex management (sellers of NR) often say in interviews and on earnings calls that many professional teams and athletes take their supplement too.

This week’s New York Times Magazine suggests that “many Covid-19 patients may be dying from their immune response to the virus, NOT from the virus itself.” COVID-19 patients’ immune overreaction is known as a “Cytokine Storm”. What’s the NAD connection? Harvard’s David Sinclair and City of Hope’s Charles Brenner agree — “cytokine storms” are the result of depleted NAD. And thus it’s plausible that NAD boosters could help.
It’s often useful to see how health products and their benefits are described in mainstream media. In this case, Paris Vogue and the UK’s HELLO! magazine recently wrote about the growing trend behind NAD supplementation.
