Key Points: COPD, an incurable disease associated with smoking and aging, accounts for approximately 5% of deaths globally, making it the fourth-leading cause of mortality worldwide. Moreover, declining levels of NAD+—an essential molecule regulating metabolism, DNA repair, and immunity—have been proposed to contribute to COPD and aging more generally. Along those lines, the effect of… Continue reading Fresh Insights: NR’s Effects on Inflammation in Age-Related Lung Disease

NAD+ Precursor NR Improves Physical Performance but not Resveratrol: New Clinical Study
Key Points: Dietary choices and a lack of exercise can promote the buildup of plaque in our arteries called atherosclerosis, the leading cause of death worldwide. When these plaques burst, they foster blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke. Before bursting, they can also reduce blood flow to organs, including our arm… Continue reading NAD+ Precursor NR Improves Physical Performance but not Resveratrol: New Clinical Study
NAD+ Precursors, Aging, and Longevity: Dr. Peter Attia’s Thoughts
Key Points: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental coenzyme present in every living cell, crucial for protecting our genetic blueprints (DNA), enhancing energy production, and boosting metabolism. Without NAD+, human life would cease to exist. Over the last decade, NAD+ has become a focal point of aging and longevity research, but the lack of… Continue reading NAD+ Precursors, Aging, and Longevity: Dr. Peter Attia’s Thoughts
Dr. Drew Says NR is the Best NAD+ Precursor
Key Points: Drew Pinsky, M.D., is a practicing physician specializing in addiction medicine. His initial claim to fame came from the show Loveline and he has since starred in shows like Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. He currently hosts several podcasts, including Ask Dr. Drew, where he interviewed Charles Brenner, Ph.D. — an established City… Continue reading Dr. Drew Says NR is the Best NAD+ Precursor
When More Fat is Good: Study Shows NAD⁺ Precursor NR Rejuvenates Fat Stem Cells
Key Points: While many of us would like to shed the pounds, our body fat is essential for survival. Amongst its many benefits, fat (adipose) tissue helps prevent dietary fat from getting into our organs. However, age-related fat loss negates this diversion, leading to the deposition of fat in our liver and muscles, which may… Continue reading When More Fat is Good: Study Shows NAD⁺ Precursor NR Rejuvenates Fat Stem Cells
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
NAD⁺ Precursors: Unlocking the Fountain of Youth by Maximizing NAD+ Levels
Contents What Does NAD+ Do? Effects of Restoring NAD+ with Its Precursors NAD+ Precursor Clinical Trials NMN NR Nicotinamide Niacin Tryptophan Choosing and Obtaining NAD+ Precursors The reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) with age leads to declining cellular energy production and increases inflammation. These factors lead to accelerated aging and an increased incidence of… Continue reading NAD⁺ Precursors: Unlocking the Fountain of Youth by Maximizing NAD+ Levels
NR and CoQ10 Improve Kidney Function: Latest Study
Key Points About 15% of US adults have chronic kidney disease, and as many as 90% of adults with chronic kidney disease don’t know they have it. Those with severe kidney disease often suffer from declining muscle function, precipitating frailty for some. Along those lines, researchers propose that declining mitochondrial metabolism facilitates declining physical function… Continue reading NR and CoQ10 Improve Kidney Function: Latest Study
Latest MIT Study Shows NMN and NR Are Potential Targets for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Key Points: Boosting NAD+ levels improves the health and survival of human brain cells that model neurodegeneration, according to researchers from the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at MIT and the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences at the University of Birmingham in the UK. The authors suggest that intervention with NAD+-boosting agents could have… Continue reading Latest MIT Study Shows NMN and NR Are Potential Targets for Neurodegenerative Diseases
NAD+ Deficiency in Arthritis Patients Reversed by NMN and NR: Latest Study Findings
Key Points Rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease where one’s own immune system degrades joints and tendons, affects about 1% to 2% of the US population. Although researchers have linked inflammation to the disease, little is known about underlying factors contributing to it. Moreover, declining NAD+ levels have been tied to numerous age-related diseases, but whether… Continue reading NAD+ Deficiency in Arthritis Patients Reversed by NMN and NR: Latest Study Findings
