Boosting mitochondrial metabolism with dietary supplements in heart failure

Nat Rev Cardiol. 2021 Oct;18(10):685-686. doi: 10.1038/s41569-021-00610-8.

Abstract

Dietary supplementation with NAD+ precursors or ketone esters has been shown to improve mitochondrial function in preclinical models of heart failure with either reduced or preserved ejection fraction. Both supplementation approaches hold promise but are in the early stages of development as clinical therapies for heart failure.
