What can be done to help COVID-19 long haulers? Well, some scientists believe that NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) could be a treatment solution. One of those scientists is Harvard Alzheimer’s expert Dr. Rudy Tanzi. And he recently initiated a human clinical trial to see if he’s correct. Here are some key quotes regarding the clinical trial:
POST #1: Why the Harvard/MGH Long Hauler COVID Study Using Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” Might Have Potential (Link)
- “We have plenty of anecdotal evidence that those long haulers who have experienced COVID are experiencing mitochondrial dysfunction — basically fatigue and cognitive fog. And we know that elevating NAD (with supplement NR) speaks directly to fatigue and cognitive fog”
POST #2: Top Alzheimer’s Expert Formally Announces Much Anticipated Long Haul COVID Study Using Supplement Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). Why is This Important? (Link)
- “We think that this supplement (NR) may help improve thinking skills and other symptoms, and improve quality of life, in individuals who had COVID-19”
POST #3: Star Neuroscientist Takes Nicotinamide Riboside (NR); Starting Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’s and Long COVID (Link)
- “…And then the other trial is just going to start is on COVID.
- So, people who’ve had COVID could be long haulers for the neuro COVID where they get brain fog or even more severe symptoms in the brain due to the inflammation the viruses caused around the blood vessels of the brain.
- So, we’re tracking the neural symptoms of after COVID infection and then we’re going to ask if can they be minimized or reduced by Tru Niagen Nicotinamide Riboside (NR).
- And this is following up on a trial that was already done you may know about in Turkey where the results were just announced where they showed that Tru Niagen was able to help in patients with COVID in Turkey.
- And the reason why is Charlie Brenner who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)…
- …And he showed that when you get a COVID infection your NAD+ levels plummet and that’s why you’re fatigued because you need NAD+ for the cell fuel ATP.
- So, the reason why they get this huge fatigue and the immunosuppressed is the NAD levels plummet”

The doctor I read said NAD+ supplement didn’t help but niacin did. I think it’s important to test. If Covid interferes with NAD FORMATION, or diversion.
