On His Podcast, Joe Rogan Claims NAD IV Drips Can Restore Taste and Smell for COVID Survivors

On one of his first podcasts since recovering from COVID (an NAD IV drip was part of his treatment), Joe Rogan discussed his recovery and what he’s hearing from fellow NAD IV (FAQs) enthusiasts:

Fertility Specialist Recommends Supplement Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) to Improve Egg Quality

Many people are searching for vitamin supplements to help improve their egg quality. We recently learned of a Harvard trained fertility expert who recommends Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). We’ve since learned of another fertility specialist who’s equally enthusiastic about NR and recommends it to his patients. Below is a short 5-minute video where he explains why:

After COVID Diagnosis, Joe Rogan’s Treatment Plan Included NAD IV Drips

After contracting COVID, outspoken podcaster Joe Rogan fought back with a treatment plan that included NAD IV drips (FAQs). For some (but not all), NAD drips are a preferred alternative to NAD boosting supplements Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and NMN (FAQs). Below is Rogan’s Instagram video where he provides more detail:

Scientists Warn About NMN

Last week, we wrote a blog post about the supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) entitled “If NMN is Safe, Why Don’t Regulators Approve It?“. We were subsequently made aware of an article by a group of scientists published last month in the Journal of Advanced Research entitled “Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) as an anti-aging health product – Promises and safety concerns“. It raises serious concerns about the safety of NMN. The following are the authors’ conclusions:

If NMN is Safe, Why Don’t Regulators Approve It?

Much to my surprise, lots of people take NAD+ boosting supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes). But as readers of this site know, I’m certainly not one of them. While I’m sold on the importance of boosting NAD+ levels, I defer to the regulatory authorities in charge of evaluating consumer safety to determine which NAD booster to take. And hands down, it’s Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes). It’s not even close. NR has been deemed safe by the FDA (NDI), Health Canada, EFSA, Australian TGA, and achieved GRAS status — NMN has received none of these approvals. What about the general science community? Well, they’ve clearly made their choice, too. There are currently 67 human clinical trials at some stage testing NR as a treatment for various diseases — only 14 trials for NMN. This suggests that scientists overwhelming choose NR when testing NAD boosters on human subjects. As well, the scientists at Nestlé chose NR over NMN when launching new food and beverage products selling to the general population. But while NR appears the safe choice, it remains abundantly concerning that even with the lack of regulatory body safety recognition, there’s obviously so much consumer demand for NMN that there are MANY companies still selling it. And each of these companies is selling something different. So it’s virtually impossible to know what you’re actually ingesting when taking NMN. And yet NMN remains incredibly popular. It’s a marketing triumph of significant proportions that so many consumers have been convinced to put something in their bodies that has so many red flags in plain sight. And then comes this:

Is There Added Benefit to Taking Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Sublingually?

On numerous occasions, Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD precursor vitamin) has responded to questions about taking NR under the tongue:
