Can an injection turn back the clock on aging arteries?
NCT ID NCT07328100
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether Coenzyme I injections can reverse vascular aging in 60 adults aged 40-70 with stiff arteries. Participants receive either the coenzyme or a placebo, and researchers measure changes in blood vessel function and stiffness over 28 days. The goal is to see if boosting NAD+ levels can improve artery health and reduce cardiovascular risk.
