Model: SAMP8 mice (5 months old) and C57BL/6 mice (16 months old)
Dosage: 1.5 mg/kg of urolithin A was administered by intraperitoneal injection three times per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 8 weeks.

Study shows that urolithin A preserves memory and cognitive function during aging when treatment begins before age-related decline, but does not reverse cognitive impairment once it is established.

Model: Old (17- to 19-month-old) C57BL6 mice 
Dosage: 14 mg/mg/day of rapamycin in food for 5 months

A purported longevity drug, rapamycin, alters immune cells associated with cancer and reduces brain inflammation in mice. 

Immunity

Model: Six adults who received intravenous NAD+ and eight adults who received intravenous NR
Dosage: 500 mg of intravenous NAD+ or 500 mg of intravenous NR daily for four consecutive days

Pilot Human Study Supports Safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV Infusions

A Stanford study supports the short-term safety of NAD+ and NR infusion therapies, and participants who received NR infusions exhibited significantly lower HbA1c (a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over two to three months).

A Stanford human trial provides the first data supporting the safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV therapies.

The NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor NR (nicotinamide riboside) counters sleep-deprivation-induced cognitive deficits in rats with excess Alzheimer’s plaques. 


Participants: Older adults (ages 60 to 80) with mild cognitive impairment 
Dosage: 320 mg/day of anthocyanin capsules for 24 weeks

Anthocyanin, a compound found in berries, reduces inflammation and heart disease markers in older adults at risk for dementia.
