Benefits of Nicotinamide Riboside Upon Cognition and Sleep (NCT05500170)
The Benefits of Nicotinamide Riboside Upon Cognition and Sleep in Older Veterans
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Poor sleep quality and short sleep duration may be a mechanistic component of cognitive impairment in older adults, associated with a decline in brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Increasing the availability of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) with supplementation of its precursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3 may increase the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This study proposes to examine the benefits of NR supplementation on sleep and cognitive function in older adults with comprehensive subjective and objective measures and to explore its impacts on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
