Species-specific research literature

NAD+ in dogs, horses

Every canine and equine study below used a precursor — nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, or an NMN/senolytic combination — not NAD+ itself. The 70-dog trial tested a combination product, so the precursor's individual contribution is not isolated.

This page summarises what the published literature covers, and what it does not. It is a bibliography with context, not guidance: Ouralus makes no statement about the use of this compound in any animal, and nothing here is a veterinary recommendation. For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

In-vitro work

Cell-culture work using cells of this species. No animal was studied, so this does not stand as independent in-vivo evidence.

Reviews

Secondary literature. Listed for context; a review is not independent evidence and its underlying studies are counted above where they qualify.

What this page does not establish

A 70-dog randomized placebo-controlled trial in canine cognitive dysfunction, the GRMD dystrophy model, and NAD+ precursors in mare follicular fluid. Only three of five cited records are primary in-vivo animal studies.
