Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Placebo
Each subject will be randomly assigned to receive placebo for an 8-week treatment period. Subjects will be instructed to take two capsules (placebo) in the morning with breakfast and two capsules (placebo) in the evening with dinner. At the end of each 8-week treatment period subjects will crossover to the next treatment group until all three treatment periods have been completed at 24 weeks.
Placebo
Treatment with placebo capsules will be administered daily as 4 capsules in a double-blind, randomized, crossover manner for three 8-week treatment periods. Each subject will receive one placebo and two active treatments in a crossover design. The two active treatments are 300 mg/d TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) and 1000 mg/d TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside).
TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) 300 mg/day
Each subject will be randomly assigned to receive 300 mg/day of TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) for an 8-week treatment period. Subjects will be instructed to take two capsules of TRU NIAGEN in the morning with breakfast and two capsules of TRU NIAGEN in the evening with dinner. At the end of each 8-week treatment period subjects will crossover to the next treatment group until all three treatment periods have been completed at 24 weeks.
300 mg/day of TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside)
Treatment with 300 mg/day of TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) will be administered daily as 4 capsules in a double-blind, randomized, crossover manner for three 8-week treatment periods. Each subject will receive one placebo and two active treatments in a crossover design. The two active treatments are 300 mg/d TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) and 1000 mg/d TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside).
TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) 1000 mg/day
Each subject will be randomly assigned to receive 1000 mg/day of TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) for an 8-week treatment period. Subjects will be instructed to take two capsules of TRU NIAGEN in the morning with breakfast and two capsules of TRU NIAGEN in the evening with dinner. At the end of each 8-week treatment period subjects will crossover to the next treatment group until all three treatment periods have been completed at 24 weeks.
1000 mg/day of TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside)
Treatment 1000 mg/day of TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) will be administered daily as 4 capsules in a double-blind, randomized, crossover manner for three 8-week treatment periods. Each subject will receive one placebo and two active treatments in a crossover design. The two active treatments are 300 mg/d TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside) and 1000 mg/d TRU NIAGEN (nicotinamide riboside).
