Based on current scientific evidence, Dutch researchers have ranked existing anti-aging interventions based on how likely they are to protect against DNA damage and aging.

DNA Repair

Model: Young C57BL/6J mice fed a high protein (56% of daily calories) diet for 20 weeks 
Dosage: Injection with either 400 mg/kg of NMN or 20 mg/kg of 78c for 4 weeks

High protein intake improves the body composition of aged mice, but it lowers NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels and promotes metabolic aging. 

Metabolism

Participants: Adults over the age of 60
Dosage: 3,750 mg of niacin twice daily (after gradual dose increase), 150 mg of dihydroberberine twice daily, 50 mg of taxifolin (with 500 mg of vitamin C and 15 mg of zinc) twice daily, 50 mg of tocotrienols twice daily

A combination of supplements, including the NAD+ precursor nicotinic acid, improves cholesterol, allowing some participants to cease taking statins.  

Study conducted by Professor Emeritus Joseph Keenan, MD, at the University of Minnesota. 

Nicotinic Acid

Does NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) really help with aging? A team of international scientists reviews the latest and ongoing clinical trials.
