We’ve heard repeatedly that NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) helps people overcome jet lag. What about NAD booster NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes)? Well, on the Joe Rogan podcast earlier this month, Harvard’s David Sinclair said the following:

Here’s what Harvard professor and aging researcher Dr. David Sinclair said about NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) vs NR (FAQs) (Anecdotes) on a 2020 podcast (video embedded below):
On multiple occasions, we’ve heard that Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) can provide protection for the liver in conditions of metabolic stress. Our latest consumer reviewer clearly agrees. Here’s his story (please consider sharing your own NAD+ supplement experience using the form below):
Last week, Walmart introduced a new 100mg dose of Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) in partnership with Chromadex. While the FDA recommended daily dose of NR is 300mg, we’ve been told that a dose as low as 100mg can also have a therapeutic benefit. It’s reasonable to assume that since NR is expensive, this new cheaper SKU at Walmart is an effort to target a new consumer group. It also might encourage others who could afford the 300mg dose but either balk at the price or are awaiting more clinical data to finally give it a try. Here’s how Chromadex CEO Rob Fried explained the strategy in a recent interview with the TD Ameritrade Network (video embedded below):
It’s widely believed that NAD depletion is a fundamental feature of aging. This is particularly evident in certain diseases that cause accelerated aging. Chromadex CEO Rob Fried discussed this in detail on last week’s Patients Rising Podcast:
In a recent pre-clinical study, scientists at the Ho Lab looked at NAD booster Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and its impact on cancer growth. One key conclusion: “Collectively, these findings reveal that supplementation with NR alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and further induces additive anti-tumor immunity in conjunction with ICB (immune checkpoint blockade) treatments”. These findings are somewhat consistent with what Dr. Charles Brenner (NAD expert and discoverer of NR as an NAD precursor vitamin) has said about NR and cancer on various platforms over the last year:
