Boosting a Natural Molecule (NAD+) Reverses Alzheimer’s Brain Damage in New Study University of Oslo & Ullevaal University Hospital (Norway), February 8, 2026   One of the key drivers of brain dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the protein tau. Under normal conditions, tau helps maintain the internal structure of neurons, supporting the transport systems that allow nerve cells to function properly. In Alzheimer’s disease, however, tau becomes abnormally modified and begins to clump together. These aggregates interfere with normal cellular transport, damage neurons, and ultimately contribute to memory impairment. Now, an international team of scientists has identified a previously unrecognized way to protect the brain from this degeneration. Their research shows that increasing levels of the naturally occurring molecule NAD⁺ can counteract neurological damage linked to Alzheimer’s disease.  Previous research has suggested that boosting NAD⁺ using precursor compounds such as nicotinamide riboside
