Elevating the naturally occurring molecule NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) improves memory and corrects gene-splicing patterns in a worm and a mouse model for dementia.

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.

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.
