Nicotinamide Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialThe decline of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) with aging may elevate risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related neurocognitive disorders (ADRD) by impairing cellular energy metabolism and reducing cerebral blood flow.2Martens Christopher R (2025)A phase‐II randomized controlled pilot and feasibility study of nicotinamide riboside supplementation in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment
Nicotinamide Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialPerfusion of the left hippocampus increased with NR (pre: 51.7 ± 3.3; post: 58.0 ± 3.8 ml/min/100g) compared with placebo (pre: 55.6 ± 2.8; post: 51.7 ± 2.3 ml/min/100g; interaction= 0.033); however, this was not associated with the change in memory performance.2Martens Christopher R (2025)A phase‐II randomized controlled pilot and feasibility study of nicotinamide riboside supplementation in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment
Nicotinamide Cognitive Performance Randomized TrialWe conducted a 12‐week double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the NADprecursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR; 500 mg b.i.d.), for enhancing cognitive function and cerebral perfusion in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).2Martens Christopher R (2025)A phase‐II randomized controlled pilot and feasibility study of nicotinamide riboside supplementation in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment
