Hi, I have been giving time+ to my mother for 7weeks from when it was first released, she was in late stage Alzheimer's, she was not talking, not eating, drinking small amounts of soup only, not moving in bed, her hands where shaking, shouting out, she is now, eating proper meals, talking reading magazines, can tell the time, she's back walking, not shaking, she has been reversed by 50% so far, absolutely amazing, you would have to see it to believe it, she will be 94today, thank you nuchido. 😀

I have spent some time going over the Nuchido site and chasing down some interviews with its CEO Dr. Nichola Conlon. They are at the very beginning of their commercial operation, but it looks fairly impressive. I have ordered a 180 bottle of Time+, and my wife and I will try it for 2 weeks and see what we think.
The Nuchido site provides some links to scientific publications. Most of these are journal publications a few years old discussing various aspects of NAD+ levels and aging. However, the first reference in the list, which may be downloaded from this LINK, is a .pdf of a poster with Conlon as first author apparently presented at the poster session of some unspecified scientific meeting. It described the work on which the commercial Time+ product is based. (Warning: the type is way too small to read if you print out the file on letter-size paper. I recommend opening it with a PDF Reader, zooming until you can read the type, and panning around to examine the various sections.)
Let me describe what I learned from the poster. The NAD+ consumed by the body produces a residue that is recycled to make new NAD+. As the body ages, this recycling degrades, resulting in the age-related NAD+ deficiency. The authors have used the (unspecified) methods of Systems Pharmacology to identify a number of natural supplements (see below) that boost the recycling process. An unspecified cocktail of these supplements was used in the work described.
The work used two human volunteers as subjects, an 57 year old male and a 48 year old female. The subjects were given oral doses of "Interventions" over a two week period, given at 4 PM each day because this is the NAD+ low point. The subjects provided many blood samples that were analyzed for NAD+ levels as well as levels of SIRT1 and NAMPT. Judging from poster pictures, the blood analysis involved chromatography.
Intervention NCD201.1 was the recycle boost cocktail plus the NAD+ precursor Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). It was observed that following the 2-week treatment, the subject's NAD+ level was boosted by "344%", i.e., by a boost factor of 3.44. Intervention NCD202 did the same procedure with the NR omitted. This boosted the NAD+ level by a factor of 1.7. Note that this is about the same as provided by taking NR or NMN as daily supplements.
Both NR and NMN are fairly expensive, so the team decided to do a third trial with relatively inexpensive but less bio-available Niacin in the form of Nicotinamide as the precursor. The results were spectacular. The NAD+ level was boosted by a factor of 9.62. Apparently, the strategy of boosting the recycling process rather than just providing it with precursor inputs yields huge NAD+ increases.
We note that Nuchido Time+ is stated to provide a NAD+ boost of only a factor of 2.42. Apparently they have throttled back the boost factor, probably in the interest of caution. Here is the contents statement from the Time+ bottle:
