Several precursors to NAD+ exist. One I take is a powder form of nicotinamide riboside that lets me use a small 1/8 teaspoon to get under 50 mg of nicotinamide riboside. That is a fraction of normal doses in capsules.

Computer models are not reality.
Nice if the computer model results in something which works or helps.
A large distance between a computer model and a cure.
Bluntly:
This is stupid.
Alzheimers is just one form of dementia. Will this lead to a cure for other forms of this condition?
This will be known as the era of mouse and rat medicine. We’ve done an amazing amount for rodents in the last 70 years.

Why Diterpenes Are Not NAD+ Precursors
Diterpenes have entirely different structures and metabolic fates. Their metabolism involves Phase I reactions (primarily hydroxylation and oxidation) and Phase II conjugation reactions with glucuronic acid, cysteine, or methylation—processes completely unrelated to the nicotinamide-based biosynthetic pathways that generate NAD+. There is no biochemical mechanism by which diterpenes could serve as substrates for NAD+ synthesis.
If you’ve encountered information suggesting diterpenes support NAD+ metabolism, it may be confusing their general antioxidant and mitochondrial support effects with direct NAD+ precursor activity—a critical distinction in cellular biochemistry.
I started taking a NAD supplement about a month ago. Not because I have Alzheimer, I don’t, but because it’s suppose to fix the body’s repair system, which help fix or prevent the overall body damage that comes with age.
I read about it from a book by Tony Robbins - “Life Force”. Quite an interesting book about cutting edge medicine. NAD is one of the many topics he covers.
Since I’m getting old with a few old age ailments here and there, I figure I’d give it a try and if anything happens.
Has anybody else here tried a NAD supplement?

If you don’t mind, what’s the brand name and where do you get it?
Also have you been taking it for a while? If so have you noticed any changes to your body, how you feel?
Could be dangerous to post such crap - man will start loading up their systems, “just in case” and suffer side effects that are yet unknown.

Thanks for posting the article on Alzheimer disease reversal in animals. I always appreciate knowing the latest information on memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer.
