Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme playing a central role in human metabolic pathways. A recognized approach to increase NAD level is through oral supplementation of its precursors promoting NAD synthesis in vivo. NAD precursors exist in multiple forms. However, it is unclear how the various precursors compare in their ability to increase NAD levels in human blood. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 3 NAD precursors on whole blood NAD metabolome.

Determine the extent of increase in NAD+ level in whole blood, for each NAD+ precursor (NAM, NR and NMN) compared to placebo
Measure the changes in whole blood NAD+ level interventions vs placebo: NAM vs placebo, NR vs placebo, NMN versus placebo by quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy
Time frame: at Day 14
Compare the extent of increase in NAD+ level in whole blood across the 3 NAD+ precursors (NAM, NR and NMN)
Measure the changes in whole blood NAD+ level across interventions: NAM vs NR, NAM vs NMN, NR vs NMN by quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy
Time frame: at Day 14
Determine the extent the NAD+ precursors(NAM, NR and NMN) affect the NAD metabolome in whole blood compared to placebo
Measure the change in whole blood NAD+ metabolites iAUC (reported as microM\*h) and Cmax (microM) by quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy
Time frame: over 4 hours at Day 1 and at Day 14.
