In a recent interview, Northwestern’s Dr. Mary McDermott discussed key findings from her team’s randomized clinical trial investigating whether NAD+ booster Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Anecdotes) can enhance walking performance in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The results (using 1000 mg NR) showed that NR significantly improved six-minute walking distance and treadmill walking time in PAD patients. A transcript and video of Dr. McDermott’s interview below:

Since this site is devoted to covering NAD+ boosters NR (FAQs) (Anecdotes) and NMN (FAQs, Anecdotes), we closely follow the work of Dr. David Sinclair. As a result, we periodically take note of his and various critics’ comments on Resveratrol. During a panel discussion at the Milken Institute Global Conference yesterday entitled “Hacking Aging: The Quest for Longevity”, Sinclair made the following comments (video embedded below):
As the popularity of NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) grows, so do the number of consumer questions. To answer many of these questions, we have the luxury of turning to Dr. Charles Brenner who discovered NR as an NAD+ boosting vitamin and who often shares his scientific, evidence-based opinions on various podcasts:
Earlier this week, we explored whether taking a daily Resveratrol along with supplements Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) or NMN (FAQs) affords any health or longevity benefits. A former labmate of Dr David Sinclair says the answer is likely “no”. Now comes Dr Charles Brenner (NR and NAD expert) who agrees that “Resveratrol is hype”. He made the case on a recent podcast:
There are often discussions online about taking a daily Resveratrol along with either Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) or NMN (FAQs). But should you follow this regimen? While Harvard’s Dr David Sinclair does (Resveratrol + NMN), his former labmate at MIT, Dr Matt Kaeberlein (who’s now a prominent scientist studying aging at the University of Washington) does not. He calls Resveratrol‘s impact on health and longevity likely a myth that unfortunately continues to dupe the public.
