B3 Vitamin Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) Likely Won’t Extend Lifespan, But Can Potentially Help You “Age Better”

While some position NAD+ boosters Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) and NMN (FAQs) as anti-aging supplements, NAD+ expert and NR consumer Dr. Charles Brenner (FAQs) goes to great lengths to focus on more realistic expectations. Here’s what he said on the Genius Life Podcast earlier this week:

At the 10:40 mark of the podcast embedded below:

HOST:

“There are many people today talking about anti-aging science, longevity science, calorie restriction, fasting, low protein diets.

What would you say are the biggest misconceptions out there currently when it comes to anti-aging or longevity science?

DR. CHARLES BRENNER:

“One of the misconceptions is that it’s going to be easy to extend the maximal lifespan of humans.

I don’t think that it is.

I think that the goal of human longevity research, and lifestyle, and practice is to get more people to be healthier to 90 or 100 or beyond.

I think that that’s achievable.

Actually, my laboratory developed something that potentially has a role in that.

As you know, we discovered “NR” Nicotinamide Riboside as a vitamin precursor of NAD.

NAD is the central catalyst of metabolism.

There’s a lot of conditions of metabolic stress in which NAD comes under attack ((alcohol/overnutrition/infection…).

You can take NR as an NAD precursor, as an oral supplement.

It is proven to be anti-inflammatory in seven different human trials.

It’s being tested in a lot of other things (Clinical Trials).

I don’t think it’s going to extend human lifespan.

But I think that there’s a potential for NR in helping people to age better”
