Advanced Alzheimer’s Can Be Reversed With NAD+ Restoration, Study Shows in Mice

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have shown that late-stage neurodegeneration may be biologically reversible, at least in the right conditions, in mice.

Brain &amp; Neurons

Participants: Adults over the age of 60
Dosage: 3,750 mg of niacin twice daily (after gradual dose increase), 150 mg of dihydroberberine twice daily, 50 mg of taxifolin (with 500 mg of vitamin C and 15 mg of zinc) twice daily, 50 mg of tocotrienols twice daily

A combination of supplements, including the NAD+ precursor nicotinic acid, improves cholesterol, allowing some participants to cease taking statins.  

Study conducted by Professor Emeritus Joseph Keenan, MD, at the University of Minnesota. 

Nicotinic Acid

Model: Male ApoE−/− mice fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks to induce atherosclerosis.
Dosage: Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Mß-CD) at 2.0 g/kg, subcutaneous injection, twice a week

 A new study shows cyclodextrin reduces artery plaques in mice by lowering cholesterol and blocking inflammatory cell death.

α-Lipoic Acid: Efficacy, Safety, and Dosage

α-lipoic acid is an antioxidant naturally produced by the body, which is also available as a supplement, and human trials indicate that it has neuroprotective and male fertility-enhancing effects.

α-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant, which human trials suggest has neuroprotective and male fertility-enhancing properties.
