Start Date

Completion Date

Summary
Daily consumption of one of the forms of Vitamin B3, the Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), energizes the body and combats cellular aging. This study is designed to test whether NR can also improve brain health and memory.
Detailed Description
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that restoration of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) levels with Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) in older adults will improve neurovascular coupling (NVC) responses and micro- and macrovascular endothelial function. This hypothesis will be tested by assessing the effects of treatment with oral NR (1g/day per os for 8 weeks) or placebo (8 weeks) in community dwelling older adults (60-85 years of age).
