Here’s what Stanford neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman (FAQs) told podcaster Joe Rogan last week in explaining why he takes NAD+ boosting supplement NMN (FAQs and Anecdotes), and also believes in fellow NAD+ booster NR (FAQs) (Anecdotes):

Excerpt from Dr. Andrew Huberman with Joe Rogan (Full remarks HERE):

DR. HUBERMAN:

“…A colleague of mine, right downstairs from me at the Stanford School of Medicine, who has a Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of RNA, Roger Kornberg — his daddy discovered RNA, Arthur Kornberg…

There was literally an ad of him holding a Tru Niagen (NR brand) bottle like this — and I’m like, I better start to pay attention to this.

…But, after David (Sinclair) started talking about NMN, a lot of people including myself started experimenting with it.

ROGAN:

Which seems to be more effective, NMN or NR?

HUBERMAN:

There are people who will argue NR..

ROGAN:

Are there people taking both?

HUBERMAN:

I was taking both for awhile.

ROGAN:

How’d you feel?

HUBERMAN:

I felt like I had more energy.

Now, it’s subjective.

But, I still take NMN sublingually.

I take a pretty high dose.

The recommendation was anywhere from 500 milligrams to about a gram and a half.

I take a powder and put it under my tongue.

…I liked my Tru Niagen (NR).

I experienced the same effects (as NMN).

Again, I have no relationship with that company (Niagen seller Chromadex). They’re not a podcast sponsor. They don’t pay me a dime.

The problem is it’s very expensive to take the kind of dosages I’m taking.

I didn’t experience much of a subjective effect at low dosages.

But, with NMN, a couple of things happened.

First of all, energy, recovery from workouts was much better.

I had to take it early in the day because it was giving me a lot of energy.

And, then, I’m not into my nails and hair, frankly. But I did notice my hair and nails grow at a ridiculous rate.

And then I came off it as a control experiment, it slowed down again.

So, it was really interesting. I think there’s something there in cellular growth pathways.

And I didn’t change anything else.

I was still doing bloodwork.

Is it going to make me live longer? I don’t know.

But the day I die I won’t know whether I’d have lived shorter or longer anyway…

So, I really like the sublingual NMN”
