Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether Nicotinamide Riboside, a form of Vitamin B3 also known as NR, can improve blood vessel health in the brain, memory, and physical function in eligible study participants. NR is considered investigational for this study because it is not yet established for this specific use. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can NR improve non-invasive measures of blood vessel health in the brain? Can NR improve memory testing results and physical function? Researchers will compare participants who receive NR with participants who receive a placebo, an inactive substance that looks like the study drug, to see if NR has beneficial effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NR or placebo. They will complete 3 study visits over 13 weeks at the Translational Geroscience Laboratory at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus. During the visits, participants will complete questionnaires, memory testing, non-invasive blood vessel measurements, physical function tests, and a blood draw.
