During a recent panel discussion in Korea, NAD+ expert Dr. Charles Brenner was asked for his reaction to consumers reporting remarkable skin benefits after taking vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Life Changing Consumer Anecdotes). Here’s his response (video and transcript below):
In late 2019, NAD+ expert Dr. Charles Brenner received a research grant from the Gates Foundation to study the various NAD+ precursors including NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) and NR (FAQs) (Anecdotes). This past week, Dr. Brenner finally provided a peek at what he found (videos and transcripts below):
If you’re focused on maintaining your NAD levels, you should be aware that simply eating a healthy diet may not be enough. And since your NAD system can also be disturbed by inflammation, aging, and conditions of metabolic stress, there’s a case to be made for supplementation with Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews). Dr. Charles Brenner (who discovered NR as an NAD precursor vitamin) made that case in a recent Twitter thread and also explained the abundance of ongoing clinical trials testing NR:
Last week, Dr Charles Brenner — who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) as an NAD boosting vitamin — did a podcast interview where he explained why taking NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes) “makes no sense”. This comment reminded me of a “Tweetorial” Dr Brenner posted on Twitter earlier this year.
In a video podcast interview last week, City of Hope’s Dr. Charles Brenner — who discovered Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) as an NAD boosting vitamin — fielded a host of questions from a New Zealand trained MD. While there’s lots of science here, there’s also lots of accessible information. The following are 4 key takeaways (video interview embedded below).
Educating the public about NAD is a monumental challenge. And it’s obviously key to those companies selling NAD boosters. But thanks to Dr. Rhonda Patrick of FoundMyFitness the concept of NAD is much more accessible. Here she is on the Joe Rogan Podcast:
