Key Points: Boosting NAD+ can revitalize the NAD+ levels of particular individuals, including obese and older adults. Furthermore, restoring NAD+ can bring about an assortment of benefits connected to slowing aging. But are there any downsides? The following are the potential dangers associated with NAD+ and the NAD+ precursors niacin, nicotinamide, NR (nicotinamide riboside), and… Continue reading Are There Hidden Dangers to Taking NAD+ Supplements?

The Top 10 Potential Benefits of NAD+ Supplements
The top 10 benefits (with one bonus) involve: NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a fundamental molecule that plays many roles in keeping our cells healthy and alive. However, under certain circumstances, our natural NAD+ levels decline. As such, supplementing with NAD+ can potentially have restorative benefits. Don’t Be Fooled by False Claims Many clinics… Continue reading The Top 10 Potential Benefits of NAD+ Supplements
A New NAD+ Precursor More Stable than NMN and NR: Trigonelline
Key Points: After spending an entire day in a test tube of human blood that has had the blood cells removed (serum), the bonds that hold together NR and NMN fall apart, as shown by Dr. Sorrentino in a short talk given at the 2023 Aging Research & Drug Discovery Meeting. In contrast, trigonelline remains… Continue reading A New NAD+ Precursor More Stable than NMN and NR: Trigonelline
Anti-Aging Scientist Insists NR Is the Superior NAD+ Precursor, Is There Any Truth to His Claims?
Key Points: Charles Brenner, Ph.D. is a biochemist who studies NAD+ metabolism and the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR). He is Chief Scientific Advisor to ChromaDex, a company that sells NR through the brand TRU NIAGEN. On September 4th, Brenner participated in an “ask me anything” (AMA) on Reddit, where members of the forum asked… Continue reading Anti-Aging Scientist Insists NR Is the Superior NAD+ Precursor, Is There Any Truth to His Claims?
NAD⁺ Precursor NR Reduces Side Effects of Anticancer Radiation Therapy: New Study
Key Points: Radiotherapy involving the treatment of cancer patients with ionizing radiation against tumors comes with a troublesome risk — it contributes to accelerated aging. A faster pace of aging leads to chronic health conditions in 73.4% of childhood cancer survivors. Surprisingly, no countermeasures against radiation-induced premature aging have been developed. Published in Aging Cell,… Continue reading NAD⁺ Precursor NR Reduces Side Effects of Anticancer Radiation Therapy: New Study
Harvard’s David Sinclair: NAD⁺ Precursor NMN Increases Lifespan in Unpublished Study
Key Points: David Sinclair’s research at Harvard Medical School focuses on finding ways to slow the aging process. Currently, there exist a select few anti-aging agents that are capable of doing so, and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) may now be one of them. On June 23, 2023, Sinclair appeared on the World of DaaS podcast with… Continue reading Harvard’s David Sinclair: NAD⁺ Precursor NMN Increases Lifespan in Unpublished Study
New Study Links NAD⁺ Precursor Niacin with Muscle Strength and Insulin Sensitivity
Key Points: Studies have shown that muscle strength drops significantly after the age of 40. Strength loss stems from the reduction of muscle mass which may ultimately lead to frailty, encompassing reduced mobility and troubles performing everyday tasks. Muscle loss during aging leads to impaired sugar (glucose) absorption since muscle is a key site of… Continue reading New Study Links NAD⁺ Precursor Niacin with Muscle Strength and Insulin Sensitivity
Japanese Study Shows NAD⁺ Precursor NMN Reduces Senescence to Boost Cardiovascular Health
Key Points: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for the most deaths worldwide and is associated with age-related NAD+ depletion. Therefore, NAD+ boosters like NMN could counter CVD by replenishing lost NAD+. Now, Nakajo and colleagues from the DHC Corporation in Japan report in Toxicology in Vitro that NMN inhibits oxidative stress-induced damage. Namely, in response… Continue reading Japanese Study Shows NAD⁺ Precursor NMN Reduces Senescence to Boost Cardiovascular Health
Who Should Not Take An NAD⁺ Supplement?
Key Points: In recent years, NAD+ has seen a rise in popularity with scientists like Dr. David Sinclair touting its anti-aging benefits. Contributing to this popularity is a rise in scientific research revealing the underlying causes of aging, which includes a decline in NAD+. What is NAD+? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a naturally occurring… Continue reading Who Should Not Take An NAD⁺ Supplement?
New NAD⁺ Blood Test Kit Available
Key Points Declining NAD+ levels with age in human blood, muscle, and saliva has been linked to aging and age-related conditions like frailty, arthritis, and heart failure. To avoid ailments associated with falling NAD+ levels during aging, researchers have proposed replenishing NAD+ with precursors like NMN. Conventional techniques that measure how NMN affects NAD+ levels… Continue reading New NAD⁺ Blood Test Kit Available
