Episode notes
NAD's Importance
- NAD is crucial for energy production and cellular repair, declining with age.
- Boosting NAD can improve energy, cognition, and potentially slow aging.
NAD Precursor Limitations
- NAD precursors like NMN may not be effective long-term due to enzyme decline.
- The enzyme NAMPT, which converts precursors to NAD, decreases with age.
Upregulating NAD Enzymes
- Instead of just taking precursors, upregulate the enzyme to raise NAD.
- This is a more effective approach than relying on precursors alone.
