During an ongoing Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), NAD+ expert Dr. Charles Brenner (FAQs) was asked repeatedly to make the case for taking NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes). Again, keep in mind that Dr. Brenner takes NR daily. Here’s the Redditors’ questions followed by Brenner’s responses:
A few days ago, Chromadex Chairman Frank Jaksch spoke at the Healthspan Show. In a ~16-minute presentation entitled “Nicotinamide Riboside (NR): The Science of Aging, Cellular Health & NAD+ Precursors”, Jaksch explained NAD boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) in plain English:
Chromadex Chairman: “Mounting Evidence Has Linked Compromised NAD+ Status to the Hallmarks of Aging”
In a rare appearance, Chromadex Founder and current Executive Chairman Frank Jaksch joined the “Cellular Health: The Next Big Market Opportunity“ webcast last week to discuss NAD, Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes), NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes), aging and more. According to his bio, Jaksch is not your ordinary Executive Chairman.
