Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future
events or to our future financial performance and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights important features of this offering and the
information included or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information
you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. You

ChromaDex Corporation
The
business of ChromaDex Corporation is conducted by our principal
subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., Healthspan Research, LLC, ChromaDex
Analytics, Inc. and ChromaPharma, Inc. We are a natural products
company that leverages our complementary business units to
discover, acquire, develop and commercialize patented and
proprietary ingredient technologies that address the dietary
supplement, food, beverage, skin care and pharmaceutical markets.
Through our ingredients segment, we offer our branded ingredients
such as NIAGEN®, nicotinamide riboside, and pTeroPure®,
pterostilbene. With the acquisition of Healthspan Research,
LLC in
March 2017, we established a consumer product segment, which offers
finished bottled dietary supplement products that contain
NIAGEN®. We also have a core standards and contract services
segment, which focuses on natural product fine chemicals (known as
“phytochemicals”) and regulatory consulting services.
As a result of our relationships with leading universities and
research institutions, we are able to discover and license early
stage, intellectual property-backed ingredient technologies. We
then utilize our business to develop commercially viable
proprietary ingredients. Our proprietary ingredient portfolio is
backed with clinical and scientific research, as well as extensive
intellectual property protection.
Private Placement
On
November 3, 2017, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase
Agreement”) with certain
purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we agreed to
sell and issue up to $23.0 million of our Common Stock at a
purchase price of $4.10 per share. On November 17, 2017, we held
the closing under the Purchase Agreement and issued 5,609,755
shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers (the “Shares”)
at a purchase price of $4.10 per share. The Shares were not
initially registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws. We have relied on the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of
Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. In
connection with the Purchasers’ execution of the Purchase
Agreement, the Purchasers represented to us that they are each an
“accredited
investor” as defined in
Regulation D of the Securities Act and that the Shares being
purchased by them are being acquired solely for their own account
and for investment purposes and not with a view to the future sale
or distribution.
On
November 3, 2017, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”). Pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to (i) file one or
more registration statements with the SEC to cover the resale of
the Shares by the Purchasers, (ii) use our reasonable best efforts
to have all such registration statements declared effective within
the timeframes set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, and
(iii) use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep such
registration statements effective during the timeframes set forth
in the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event that such
registration statements are not filed or declared effective within
the timeframes set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, any
such effective registration statements subsequently become
unavailable, or the Purchasers are unable to sell the Shares
because we have failed to satisfy the current public information
requirement of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, we would be
required to pay liquidated damages to the Purchasers equal to 1.0%
of the aggregate purchase price per month for each default (up to a
maximum of 5% of such aggregate purchase price).
The
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part relates
to the resales of the Shares issued to the Purchasers under the
Purchase Agreement.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 10005 Muirlands Blvd.

An
investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk.
Prior to making a decision about investing in our Common Stock, you
should consider carefully the specific risk factors discussed in
the sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with
the SEC, which are incorporated in this prospectus by reference in
their entirety, as well as any amendment or updates to our risk
factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, including any
prospectus supplement hereto. These risks and uncertainties are not
the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently view
as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the risks or
uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any additional risks
and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow could be materially
and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our
Common Stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your
investment.
USE OF
PROCEEDS
The
proceeds from the sale of the Shares of Common Stock offered
pursuant to this prospectus are solely for the account of the
selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of the Shares by the selling stockholders.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Relationship with Selling Stockholders
As
discussed in greater detail above under the section “Prospectus Summary – Private Placement,” in November 2017, we entered into
the Purchase Agreement with the selling stockholders pursuant to
which we sold and issued the Shares to the selling stockholders and
entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the selling
stockholders pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration
statement with the SEC to cover the resale of the Shares by the
selling stockholders. Except as noted in the footnotes to the
Selling Stockholders table above, none of the selling stockholders
has held any position or office with us or our affiliates within
the last three years or has had a material relationship with us or
any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years,
other than as a result of the ownership of our shares or other
securities.
We are
registering the Shares issued to the selling stockholders to permit
the resale of these Shares by the holders of the Shares from time
to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any
of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the
Shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our
obligation to register the Shares.
The
selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the Shares
beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time
directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or
agents. If the Shares are sold through underwriters or
broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for
underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Shares may be
sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on
which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale,
in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on
these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in
one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market
prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the
time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected
in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling Shares:
●
ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
●
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a
broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
●

exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
●
privately
negotiated transactions;
●
settlement of short
sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part;

through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether such options are listed on an options exchange or

●
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and
●
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The
selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Shares
in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(1) under
the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this
prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the
requirements of those provisions.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders
effect such transactions by selling Shares to or through
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders
or commissions from purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act
as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions
will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a
supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction
will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with FINRA Rule 5110.
In
connection with sales of the Shares, the selling stockholders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of
the Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The
selling stockholders may also sell Shares short and if such short
sale shall take place after the date that the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective
by the SEC, the selling stockholders may deliver Shares of Common
Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and
to return borrowed Shares in connection with such short sales. The
selling stockholders may also loan or pledge Shares to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Shares, to the extent
permitted by applicable law. The selling stockholders may also
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of Shares offered by
this prospectus, which Shares such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented
or amended to reflect such transaction). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the selling stockholders have been advised that they may
not use Shares registered on the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part to cover short sales of our Common Stock
made prior to the date the registration statement, of which this
prospectus forms a part, has been declared effective by the
SEC.
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the Shares of Common Stock
owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and
sell the Shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or
any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary,
the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee
or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate
the Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees,
donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the
selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.
The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agents participating
in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11)
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event,
any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to,
any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the
Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling
stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11)
of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain
statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections
11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the
Exchange Act.
Each
selling stockholder has informed us that it is not a registered
broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to
distribute the Common Stock. Upon us being notified in writing by a
selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered
into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a
block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary
distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to
this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such
selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii)
the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares
of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts
or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable,
(v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to
verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In no
event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and
markups, which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent
(8%).
Under
the securities laws of some states, the Shares may be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless such
Shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or
an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is
complied with.
There
can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or
all of the Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part.
Each
selling stockholder and any other person participating in such
distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including,
without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the
selling stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation
M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the
distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities
with respect to the Shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing
may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any
person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect
to the Shares.
The
selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and
commissions incurred in disposing of the Shares. We will bear all
other expenses incident to our performance of or compliance with
the Registration Rights Agreement, including (i) all registration
and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with
compliance with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing and
delivery expenses, (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for
us and of all independent certified public accountants of us, (v)
Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if we so
desire or the underwriters so require in accordance with
then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Shares on any
securities exchange, (vii) any reasonable fees and disbursements of
underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities,
(viii) all fees and expenses of any special experts retained by us
in connection with any registration, (ix) all of our internal
expenses (including all salaries and expenses of our officers and
employees performing legal or accounting duties), (x) all expenses
related to the “road-show” for any underwritten offering,
including all travel, meals and lodging, (xi) all reasonable fees
and disbursements of one legal counsel for the selling stockholders
in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate during the term
of the Registration Rights Agreement and (xii) any other fees and
disbursements customarily paid by the issuers of securities. We
will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain
liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act,
in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or the
selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be
indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from
any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders
specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to
contribution.
The
validity of the Shares to be offered for resale by the selling
stockholders under this prospectus will be passed upon for us by
Cooley LLP, San Diego, California.

Item 15.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
||||
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify
any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any
threatened, pending, or completed legal action, suit, or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such
corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer
or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may
include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding,
provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation’s best
interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may
indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of
the corporation under the same conditions, except that no
indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the
officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in
the performance of his duty. Where an officer or director is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the
expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably
incurred.
Our
bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, except that no
indemnification will be provided to a director, officer, employee,
or agent if the indemnification sought is in connection with a
proceeding initiated by such person without the authorization of
our board of directors. The bylaws also provide that the right of
directors and officers to indemnification shall be a contract right
and shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or
hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the certificate
of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The bylaws also permit us to
secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee, or
other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in
such capacity, regardless of whether the bylaws would permit
indemnification of any such liability.
In
accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our certificate of
incorporation provides that directors shall not be personally
liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as
directors except for (i) breaches of their duty of loyalty to us or
our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (iii)
certain transactions under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful
payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions),
or (iv) transactions from which a director derives an improper
personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the
personal liability of directors for monetary damages or actions
involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any
actions involving gross negligence.
In
addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our
directors and officers that require us, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason
of their status or service, so long as the indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of ChromaDex, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnitee had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. We
also maintain director and officer liability insurance to insure
our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement
or payment of a judgment under specified
circumstances.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in
the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

Item 17.
|
Undertakings.
|
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
(a)(1)
|
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
|
|
|
(i)
|
to
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
“Calculation of
Registration Fee” table
in the effective registration statement;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
to
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement;
|
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and
(a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant
to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration
statement.
|
|
(2)
|
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
|
|
(3)
|
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
|
|
|
(4)
|
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser:
|
|
|
(i)
|
each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall
be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date
the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5)
or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule
430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i),
(vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part
of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the
offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for
liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new
effective date of the registration statement relating to the
securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus
relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that
no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective
date.
|
|
(b)
|
The
undersigned registrant undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant’s annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan’s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
|
(c)
|
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
|
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused
this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Irvine,
