Much to the continued surprise of NAD+ experts, NAD+ IVs (FAQs and Anecdotes) are increasingly popular in the Hollywood community. We know about Kendall Jenner, and Justin and Hailey Bieber (see video below). The latest example? Gwyneth Paltrow. But are her recent explanations for periodic NAD+ IVs credible? Science-based? We’ll leave that for you to decide:
If you listened to former White House advisor Andy Slavitt’s recent podcast “Are We on the Verge of Curing Alzheimer’s?“, you learned a lot. But you were also surprised by the way it ended. Slavitt was joined by world renowned Alzheimer’s experts, Dr. Paul Aisen and Dr. Rudy Tanzi. Toward the end of the podcast, Dr. Aisen advised those interested in taking measures to prevent Alzheimer’s that taking supplements made no sense. You’d have expected a response from Dr. Tanzi, since we know he disagrees. But none came. So, we, at RaisingNAD reached out to Dr. Tanzi, and learned that his response to Dr. Aisen was edited out. Fortunately, the folks at Lemonada were kind enough to share Tanzi’s comments with us, which we’ve embedded and transcribed below:
You’re likely aware of the recently published and very encouraging clinical results using NAD+ boosting vitamin supplement Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Life Changing Anecdotes) in a study relating to Alzheimer’s.
