Summary

This early-stage trial tests a supplement called MIB-626 (a form of NMN) in 24 adults with Down syndrome. The goal is to see if it is safe and can raise NAD+ levels, which may help protect against Alzheimer's disease. Participants take the pill or a placebo for 28 days and are monitored for side effects and changes in brain chemistry.
