Question - this harvard anti aging researcher recommends nmn https://www.nad.com/news/david-sinclairs-2024-anti-aging-supplement-protocol

I have a friend who has taken this a step further ... he has a nurse visit and drip nmn directly into his blood stream. He tried the pills but he felt that was ineffective...

He swears by it ... feels healthier... sharper mind...

What do you think of this?

I am a huge proponent of "first getting the basics right" and then, with lifestyle pretty much dialled in, there's room to explore how it might be augmented by these sorts of bio-hacks 👍

I am not a fan of trying to use bio-hacks to enable a substandard lifestyle (eat/drink/do whatever and use bio-hacks to try offset the negative impacts).

That's where I lean... you cannot cheat nature ... (see Ozempic).... my mate will probably end up with cancer by mainlining this stuff... he's very Pro Vaxx so I won't know which caused it

NMN is a precusor to NAD production, which happens in the kreb cycle. The kreb cycle is producing NAD and ATP to be used in cellular energy and repair functions. So, if building up the source of NMN the principle is it will flow through to improved cellular outcomes, and therefore decreased senescent (zombie) cells. I might have some that wrong but thats the jist of it!
