NAD Supplementation Realities
- NAD is crucial for thousands of cellular reactions but direct NAD IVs have unclear benefits.
- NAD precursors like NMN or NR may help some but aren't proven universally effective or superior to cheaper forms like niacin.
Limits of Biological Age Tests
- Biological age can't be quantitatively measured, only correlated markers can.
- Epigenetic clocks estimate risks but don't directly measure biological age itself.
Prioritize Fundamentals Over Trends
- Prioritize fundamentals like healthy diet and regular movement over trendy therapies like ice baths.
- Invest effort in sustainable lifestyle habits that truly impact health.
