Creator description · original language
In this episode of Daily Value, we look inside the NAD+ wars - breaking down the science, the hype, and the controversy surrounding Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). These two molecules have been promoted as keys to longevity, but the story is far more complex. We’ll look at the biochemistry of NAD+ metabolism, compare what the research really says about NR and NMN, and dig into the regulatory drama that’s shaped their (NMN’s) availability. Most importantly, we’'ll look at a bigger-picture strategy for restoring NAD+, one that goes beyond precursors alone.
