Testing NAD+ levels in healthy young and older adults
This study measures NAD+ (a molecule linked to aging) in healthy adults aged 18-35 or 70+. It will help researchers understand how NAD+ changes with age and if supplements like NR affect it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18-35 or 70 or older and generally healthy.
- You are not taking niacin, blood thinners, or chemotherapy drugs.
- You are not taking steroids (corticosteroids) or multivitamins (except calcium and vitamin D).
- You do not have diabetes requiring insulin, and your blood sugar (HbA1c) is below 8.5%.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
- You have no conditions that make an MRI unsafe (e.g., metal implants).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the body uses NAD+ precursors (nutrients that help cells produce energy) after taking them by mouth. Healthy volunteers will help researchers understand how these supplements are processed, which may guide future treatments for aging and disease.
This trial tests an oral NAD+ supplement to see how well it is absorbed and if it is safe and effective. It may help support healthy aging and energy levels.
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
This study compares two versions of a supplement called Qualia NAD+ to see how well they increase NAD+ levels in your cells. NAD+ is a molecule that helps your cells produce energy and may support healthy aging. You will take the supplement for 28 days and measure your NAD+ levels at home with a simple finger-stick test.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3), combined with a supervised exercise program, can help promote healthy aging and improve how well your body functions. You would take the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks while doing light to moderate exercise.
This trial tests how well a new injectable form of Niagen (a supplement that may boost cellular energy) is absorbed and tolerated compared to NAD+. It may help if you are between 40 and 65, live near the study site, and feel unusually tired.
