Safety of a nutritional supplement in healthy older adults
This study tests a nutritional supplement (N-acetyl-L-cysteine and glycine) to see if it is safe and well-tolerated in healthy older adults. It may help if you are looking for ways to support your health as you age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 60 and 80 years old (implied by 'older adults' and typical age range for such studies, but not explicitly stated in criteria; criteria focus on health status)

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 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.
This study tests if nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a natural supplement, can help middle-aged and older adults stay healthy. It aims to see if NMN can slow aging-related changes in healthy people between 40-70 years old.
This study looks at whether vitamin C can help support healthy aging in middle-aged and older adults. It will compare taking vitamin C to a placebo (a dummy pill) to see if it improves overall health.
This study tests a personalized nutrition program for older adults to see if it can help maintain muscle strength and overall health. It looks at your grip strength, body mass index (BMI), where you live, and your cognitive ability.
This trial tests an oral supplement called gamma glutamylcysteine (GGC) in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to see if it is safe and well-tolerated. It may help by supporting the body's natural defenses against cell damage.
