Why NAD+ for Cognitive Function
Role in Protocol
Neuronal energy metabolism
Evidence Note
NAD+ is critical for neuronal energy production and DNA repair. Brain NAD+ levels decline with age. Nasal delivery and injection are being explored for more direct CNS effects compared to oral precursors. Human cognitive outcome data are preliminary.
Dosing Context
IV Infusion
Dose
250–750 mg
Frequency
variable
Subcutaneous Injection
Dose
50–200 mg
Frequency
weekly
Key Safety Notes
Active cancer
Theoretical concern — NAD+ is involved in cellular energy and DNA repair pathways that could benefit cancer cells. Consult oncologist.
Severe hepatic impairment
Particularly relevant for niacin-based NAD+ precursors.
