You’ve probably read about 45-year-old Bryan Johnson (Bloomberg: How to Be 18 Years Old Again for Only $2 Million a Year). He sold a company to eBay and is now taking extreme measures to try to be physically and mentally 18 again. Among the 24 supplements he takes each day is NAD+ booster Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes):

We recently heard from an excellent new site, “Science of NAD”, that “numerous mouse studies show that NAD replenishment can protect oocytes“. And here at RaisingNAD, we’ve compiled compelling evidence from experts and consumers that NAD+ boosters, Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) and NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) might possibly help those struggling with fertility by improving egg quality. See HERE. So, where does that leave us? When will we know whether the results of these mouse studies are a viable, evidence-based treatment option for humans? Fortunately, earlier this week, NAD+ expert Dr. Charles Brenner (FAQs) was asked about this very issue on Twitter:
With the announcement of a proposed NMN drug, and the possible permanent ban on NMN supplements, consumers are obviously confused. One thing we do know is the type of NMN to be included in the proposed drug:
If the Kardashians are interested, one can assume they smell opportunity. That appears to be the case with NAD+. Last year, Kourtney K. touted NR. She now appears to have soured on NR, and is currently embracing NMN. Separately, her sister Kendall loves NAD+ IVs. Are these science based decisions?
Earlier this week, Stanford neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman (FAQs) published an exhaustive podcast on health supplements entitled “Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance“. But there was one glaring omission. He didn’t address NAD+ supplements NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) and Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes). Should this be surprising? Well, yes, considering that in a previous episode with Dr. David Sinclair, Huberman declared his intention to start taking NMN. Fortunately, we have this from Twitter:
If NAD+ boosting supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) is permanently banned, when can consumers anticipate the arrival of NMN the drug? Dr. David Sinclair shared the following in a recent podcast interview with Dr. Peter H. Diamandis:
Following a recent FDA determination, many consumers are concerned about the future availability of NAD+ boosting supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes). While these concerns appear warranted, Dr. David Sinclair sought to reassure NMN supplement consumers in a Tweetstorm at the end of December (see below):
There’s a growing belief that NAD+ boosting supplements Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) and NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) might play a role in improving fertility chances. We’ve compiled the opinions of fertility specialists, NAD+ experts, as well as a number of real-life consumer anecdotes HERE. To bolster the case, “Science of NAD” recently published an exhaustive look at the scientific evidence supporting the connection between higher NAD+ levels and fertility. Here’s their conclusion:
