NAD+ Oral Supplement Pilot Intervention in Adult Females

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) can influence cognition and biomarkers in healthy, cognitively intact women who identify as Latina and are between the ages of 40-80. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will executive function change in response to NAD+? Will inflammatory markers and serum indicators of neurodegeneration change in response to NAD+? Researchers will compare individuals receiving the NAD+ to see if the results differ from those receiving the placebo. Participants will: Complete an online questionnaire, Visit the lab for computerized cognitive testing and a blood draw, Take NAD+ or a placebo every day for 4 weeks, Visit the lab for computerized cognitive testing and a blood draw
