Taking NMN as a supplement led to increased NAD levels and improved health outcomes for the speaker and her parents, sparking debate in the scientific community about its effectiveness
Questions to inspire discussion
-
What is NMN and how does it work?
—NMN is a derivative of vitamin B3 that has sparked debate in the scientific community about its effectiveness in converting to NAD in the body. It is believed to boost NAD levels for cell function and aging.
-
What were the results of taking NMN for 11 months?
—Taking NMN, TMG, and berberine supplements resulted in increased energy, improved sleep, concentration, productivity, and reduced arthritis and prostate symptoms for the speaker and her father.
-
What were the NAD+ test results after taking NMN?
—After 11 months of taking NMN in powder form, the NAD+ test results showed that the speaker was just under the optimal level, while their mother was in the optimal range.
-
What is the speaker's plan for continuing to take NMN?
—The speaker plans to continue taking NMN at lower amounts to avoid very high NAD levels, and emphasizes that the decision to take NMN and how much to take is a personal choice based on individual experience.
-
What is the most proven way to increase NAD levels?
—The most proven way to increase NAD levels is through a nutritious diet and exercise.
Key Insights
- 🧬 The impact of NMN on NAD levels has delivered some really surprising results.
- 💊 Dr. Elena Seranova and Harvard Medical School professor Dr. David Sinclair believe it is possible to boost NAD levels using NMN, which can improve cell function and reduce the negative effects of aging.
- 💊 Boosting NAD levels with NMN led to improved insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice, restored gene expression linked to circadian rhythm, and found a reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress, both cornerstones of aging.
- 💊 The availability of NMN as a dietary supplement is currently restricted in the US, being investigated by the FDA for approval as a possible prescription drug.
- 💊 NAD+ levels are a good predictor of lifespan and cell function, making it a crucial biomarker for longevity.
- 🩸 Discrepancy in NAD levels between family members raises questions about the role of B12 and the importance of getting B12 levels tested.
- 🏋️♂️ Both individuals experienced significant weight loss and increased energy levels while taking NMN, suggesting potential benefits for metabolism and overall well-being.
- 💊 "Whether you take NMN and how much you take is a personal choice."
