NAD+ Reverses Alzheimer's Deficits: New Study Explains How Ep. 1268 NOV 2025

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to aging and errors in how our genes are processed, a mechanism known as dysfunctional alternative RNA splicing (ASEs). The metabolite NAD+ is known to slow AD progression in preclinical studies.
This 2025 study in Science Advances provides a new mechanism . Researchers found that NAD+ augmentation corrects these harmful splicing errors. It appears to do this by regulating a key protein called EVA1C, which the study found is reduced in the hippocampus of human AD patients compared to cognitively normal ones.
Using mouse models with AD-like tau pathology , supplementing with NAD+ precursors (like NR or NMN) improved memory . Critically, when the researchers blocked the EVA1C protein (via adeno-associated virus-based knockdown) in the mice's hippocampus, the memory improvements from NAD+ were lost .
This suggests the NAD+-EVA1C splicing axis is a critical pathway for how NAD+ protects the brain, offering a potential new target for future AD therapies.

A 2025 systematic review published in the journal Nutrients analyzed the role of folate supplementation in managing peripheral neuropathy (PN). The review synthesized data from 12 studies, which included a total of 3015 patients. The findings demonstrated "promising symptomatic benefits". This included pain reductions reaching 3 points , symptom resolution rates as high as 87.5% , and improvements in Neuropathy Total Symptom Score (NTSS-6) scores ranging from 0.9 to 1.5 points.
Beyond symptoms, the review also highlighted objective structural improvements, such as increases in epidermal nerve fiber density (ENFD) that reached 97% in one case. Furthermore, folate supplementation was found to significantly decrease levels of homocysteine and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). The review concluded that folate has an "excellent safety profile," reporting only one adverse event among 1367 individuals.

A recent study published in Nutrients investigated the effects of dark chocolate (DC) on anaerobic sprint performance. The study involved twenty healthy participants who completed a randomized, single-blinded experiment.
Participants completed two trials: one after consuming DC milk and another after consuming an iso-caloric white chocolate (WC) milk, which served as a flavonoid-free control. In each trial, they performed a Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), which consisted of two sets of six 35-meter sprints.
The results showed that DC supplementation significantly improved performance in the second set of sprints:
• Faster Average Sprint Time: 6.43 s (DC) vs. 6.62 s (WC) (p=0.012).
• Faster Total Effort Time: 38.58 s (DC) vs. 39.72 s (WC) (p=0.012).
• Higher Mean Power: 354.09 W (DC) vs. 323.81 W (WC) (p=0.009).
Additionally, during the first set of sprints, participants had a significantly lower (better) fatigue index after consuming DC (30.71%) compared to WC (38.67%) (p=0.006).
