Can NAD+ Boosters Increase Lifespan and Healthspan?
The effects of NAD+ boosters on aged rodents have been described in the medical literature as “profound,” “dramatic,” and “remarkable,” but do they help people?
This is the second video in my NAD+ series. If you missed the first one, check out Do NAD+ Levels Decline with Age? ( ). Stay tuned for:
• Risks and Benefits of Nicotinic Acid (NA), a NAD+ Booster ( )
• Risks and Benefits of Nicotinamide (NAM), a NAD+ Booster ( )
• Risks and Benefits of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), a NAD+ Booster ( )
• Risks and Benefits of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), a NAD+ Booster ( )
• Lesser-Known NAD+ Boosting Supplements—Tryptophan, NADH, NMNH, and NRH ( )
• Risks of NAD+ Boosting Supplements ( )
• Which NAD+ Booster Is Best? ( )
• The Third Way to Boost NAD+ ( )

Lemme guess, no answer + cliffhanger?
Science doesn’t come to conclusions straight away
Yes just wasting your time for nothing
It is an answer just not a simple 2 second answer in a box tied with a pretty bow, sorry
The end will be a 2 second answer: eat only whole plants. Never touch anything with a single animal ingredient. The rest is just filler to provide justification.
Thank you!

I love this channel!
“Fascinating how NAD+ boosters showed such dramatic effects in aging mice—improved muscle, brain, even ovarian health! But with so many options like NMN, NR, and even niacin, I’m curious—do the benefits really justify the cost in humans? Looking forward to the risk-benefit breakdown next

Heheheh NADs.
