I am writing this just over a year after starting to take NMN and to a lesser degree Resveratrol, Trimethylglycine (TMG) etc. What have I learned in that time and what advice would I give a 54-year-old me on how to take NMN and how to start My NMN Experiment?
Let’s look at the things I would and would not have changed, and How to Take NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide).
A lot of people have commented on my YouTube Channel saying how expensive this longevity game is, but no hard numbers, so I thought I would set them all out to see what it would cost you to take David Sinclair’s supplements for a month and a year.
Neither the USDA nor the FDA have set any limits on heavy metals testing in food, including organic foods, meaning that products can contain unregulated levels of mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, copper and even tungsten while still being legally sold in the USA and to make matters worse heavy metals are now being found in USDA certified organic foods, super-foods, vitamins, herbs and dietary supplements.
Alive by Nature, now Alive by Science were sent an FDA warning letter on the 6th of May 2020; this time for offering “NAD+” and “NMN” sublingual gel products that were marketed as ‘intended to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19 in people’.
A non-blinded clinical NMN trial has been conducted at the Clinical Trial Unit, Keio University School of Medicine in Japan on 10 healthy men aged between 40 and 60 years of age to ensure that there were no adverse side effects to taking NMN. The NMN used had a purity of between 96% and 97% according to a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Alive by Nature, now Alive by Science, were written to on the 25th of July 2019, by the FDA, where the the FDA explained statements on their website violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
There are two methods of taking Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). There is are ORAL NMN, taken by ingesting in either a capsule or mixing it into a drink or soft food and SUBLINGUAL NMN, where it is placed under the tongue and allowed to diffuse into the bloodstream; which is most effective?
NAD is found in virtually all our living cells and is essential for sustaining life. NAD levels decline drastically with age, to give you an idea how NAD+ declines with age; by the age of fifty the typical person may only have half the NAD+ they did in their youth, by the age of eighty, NAD+ levels drop to between 1% to 10% of those enjoyed in youth, in theory by taking NMN you can restore your NAD to more youthful levels.
Really, don’t take NMN until you have read this. Before I started to take NMN as a daily supplement I did a great deal of research and there were some important questions and concerns that kept coming up, things I had ponder and ultimately make a decision on; would I or would I not to boost my NAD levels.
In this article I will share with you those keys areas and if you are considering taking NMN I hope that they help.
NAD or to give it its full name is present in nearly all of our living cells, NAD+ is essential for sustaining life. Unfortunately our NAD levels decline radically with age; this creates an energy deficit that decreases our body’s ability to maintain effective biological functions.
NAD is biologically unstable, which makes it unsuitable for oral supplementation. Fortunately, it is easy to restore our cellular NAD levels using , which converts to NAD when it is in the cell. But there are many other are many reasons to take NMN.
