<p>Model: Young acquired niacin dependency (ANDY) mice. </p>
<p>Dosage: 30 mg/kg/day of niacin </p>


Mice engineered to have low body-wide NAD+ levels exhibit a shortened lifespan and widespread physical decline, which is largely reversed with the NAD+ booster niacin. 

The Future of Longevity: Could Humans Really Live to 150?

A TIME Magazine longevity panel, featuring Harvard’s David Sinclair, explores whether breakthroughs in AI, cellular rejuvenation, and research on sex differences could help today’s children live far longer.
