Eric Verdin, M.D., and Peter Attia, M.D., discuss the controversy surrounding NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), the best method for replenishing NAD+, and more.


Making CAR-T Cells Young Again: Restoring NAD+ to Rejuvenate Immunotherapy in Aging

A combined treatment of NMN with 78c (a small molecule that inhibits an NAD+-degrading enzyme) enhances the effects of the anti-cancer CAR-T cell therapy in aged mice and human cells.

Supplements like NAD+ boosters may benefit older individuals, while drugs like metformin and interventions such as physical exercise may not, according to German scientists.

<p>Model: Cybrids composed of Rho0 cells with human platelet mitochondrial DNA from participants between 7 days old and 99 years old<br />
Dosage: 5 mM of n-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and 3 mM of nicotinamide riboside, with medium changed every three days until the cell population reached between 1 and 10 million</p>


New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening

New research suggests that nicotinamide riboside (NR) combined with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) prevents telomere shortening linked to genetic sequences within the cell’s powerhouse (mitochondria) in human cells.

A new study suggests the NAD+ precursor NR combined with the antioxidant NAC may counteract telomere shortening, a hallmark of aging.
