Participants: Older adults at risk for dementia. 
Dosage: 2 g/day of DHA

While it entered the brain, two years of high-dose supplementation revealed no cognitive protection from pure docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in older adults without dementia.


University of Southern California (USC) scientists help to uncover why human intelligence declines with age, pointing to a newly discovered cellular target.

Model: Eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice treated with 300 mg/kg/day of D-galactose by subcutaneous injections for eight weeks
Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day of NMN in drinking water for eight weeks and 5 × 10 5 hUC-MSCs suspended in 150 µL of PBS via tail vein injection on the first day of weeks five through seven

NMN Enhances Stem Cell Therapy’s Effects on Immune Aging in Latest Study
