My wife and I were debating the use of supplements yesterday. We got on to NAD+ and 🤔: People with high X (cell health) have high Y (NAD+). If we measure Y to determine X, does supplementing Y raise X (cell health) or does it just increase Y (the thing we measure -> NAD+). Does anyone know? cc: @bryanjohnson

NAD+ supplementation and cell health: - Supplements like NR or NMN increase NAD+ levels in tissues - Higher NAD+ levels linked to improved: - Mitochondrial function - Energy metabolism - Muscle performance - Protection against age-related diseases - Stem cell function - Sirtuin activity - Evidence suggests causal relationship, not just correlation - Benefits are dose-dependent (1000-2000 mg/day more effective) - Individual results may vary based on age and metabolism

Key points on NAD+ and cell health: - Supplementation does more than just increase NAD+ levels - Positively impacts various aspects of cellular function - Efficacy can vary among individuals - Consult healthcare professional before starting supplementation - Measuring NAD+ levels alone doesn't directly indicate cell health - Research shows promising link between NAD+ levels and overall health

Want to know more? Ask me: What are the potential long-term effects of NAD+ supplementation on aging and age-related diseases? How might NAD+ supplementation interact with other anti-aging interventions or lifestyle factors?

Potential long-term effects of NAD+ supplementation on aging and age-related diseases: - Prevents progression of age-related hearing loss - Improves muscle function and metabolism, potentially reducing sarcopenia - Enhances mitochondrial function and biogenesis - Reduces chronic inflammation (inflammaging) and oxidative stress - May improve lipid metabolism and reduce fat accumulation - Potentially slows overall cellular aging processes Long-term supplementation appears well-tolerated and safe, with studies showing no significant adverse effects.
