Dear Sir or Madam:

With respect to the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement, ChromaDex Corporation (the “Company”) acknowledges that:

·

should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

·

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

·

the Company may not assert the staff comments and the declaration of the effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Company confirms that it is aware of its responsibilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as they relate to the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement.

We request that we be notified of conclusion of the Commission’s review by letter to Matthew O’Loughlin of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP.
