Dr Brenner’s suggestion: Oral supplementation with Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Key quotes and podcast embedded:
When IVF didn’t work for Dave Crouse and his wife, they turned to NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). After 3 months of NR supplementation (1000 mg daily), Dave’s wife conceived (“Our Niagen Baby“). Can the Crouse family experience be replicated? Well, Harvard-trained fertility specialist Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh AKA “The Egg Whisperer” has said the following on various podcasts including the ones below (videos embedded):
