Sleep better with NAD? new study tests Supplement's power
NCT ID NCT06971224
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether taking a form of Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide riboside) can improve sleep quality in healthy adults aged 40-60. Sixteen participants will receive either the supplement or a placebo for 8 weeks, and their sleep will be measured with brainwave monitoring. The goal is to see if NAD boosts the brain's ability to rest during sleep.
