Model: 22-month-old male C57BL/6NIH mice 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg of NR for eight weeks, administered in food

Treating aged mice with the NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor NR (nicotinamide riboside) improves memory and reduces pro-inflammatory immune cells.

Model: C57BL/6J mice, J20 mice, and 3xTg mice 
Dosage: 4.3 μEq l−1 of lithium in drinking water starting at 10 to 12 months of age and continued for 10 to 14 months during aging

Harvard Study: A Low Dose of Lithium May Preserve Cognitive Resilience with Age

Researchers uncover significantly lower brain lithium levels in Alzheimer’s disease patients, and supplementing with a low-dose lithium salt restores memory in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model.

A Harvard study suggests lower levels of lithium in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and that lithium supplementation may help preserve cognitive resilience.

Model: Ten-month-old male EFAD mice 
Dosage: 14.4 ppm of alfatradiol in diet for five months

USC Study: Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's

The drug alfatradiol, also known as 17ɑ-estradiol, reduces cognitive errors on a test of memory and lowers neuronal plaques in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers unveil data suggesting the drug alfatradiol improves signs of frailty, reduces cognitive errors, and reduces neuronal plaques in mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.
