NAD may be a true "miracle molecule" in promoting health and longevity. NAD is a molecule that is critical to your body's cellular health. As you age, the levels of NAD decline, contributing to many age-related health problems, including decreased energy, impaired memory, skin aging, and disease risk. Recent research shows that boosting NAD levels has remarkable anti-aging benefits. NAD supplements are popular, but many people use them wrong. In today's episode, Inka Land discusses with Dr. Nichola Conlon, a world-known microbiologist, the CEO of Nuchino, and a popular speaker. We discuss the science behind the miracle molecule NAD. We cover how it reverses aging, does NMN (Nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) supplements work, how to avoid risks, NAD testing, and how to boost NAD the safe way.
