Summary
Rhonda Patrick explores NAD+ in aging and the role of nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) as precursors. Covers the science of NAD+ decline with age and supplementation strategies.
Key Points
- NAD+ declines with age
- NR and NMN as NAD+ precursors
- Comparison of different NAD+ boosters
- Mitochondrial function and aging
- Current research findings and limitations
Key Moments
NMN mitigates age-related decline in mice
Rhonda Patrick's deep dive on NAD precursors. Long-term NMN in mice improved muscle function, mitochondria, and energy metabolism.
"Dietary administration of nicotinamide mononucleotide mitigated the age-associated physiological decline in mice with an accelerated aging phenotype."
