Ben Greenfield (speaker) explains that NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a key anti-aging molecule and that boosting NAD supports mitochondrial health, exercise capacity, sleep, and general health. He recommends nicotinamide riboside (NR) — specifically the supplement Tru Niagen — as an oral way to raise NAD and describes his personal regimen (taking 2–4 capsules daily) and that he has used NR for about two months as an alternative to IV NAD treatments.

Hey, what's up you guys? It's Ben Greenfield. And you've no doubt heard me talk about this molecule called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide before. I know that's a freaking mouthful, but it is one of the most potent anti aging molecules known to man. Your NAD to NADH ratios are directly indicative of, of exactly how healthy your mitochondria are and how well equipped your body is to defy longevity. Well, one of the best ways to naturally boost your body's own NAD levels is via the use of something called nr, which stands for nicotinamide riboside. Nicotinamide riboside. This would be something that you can take orally to enhance your your body's own ability to produce nad. Now, NAD has been shown to do everything from, like I mentioned earlier, enhanced longevity to increase your ability to be able to exercise. At higher intensities. You'll see sleep improvements. You see better improvement in health overall when you boost NAD levels. Now, a lot of people might not be able to go out and do the type of things that I've talked about before in podcasts before. If you go to BenGreenfieldFitness.com NAD for example, you can hear me talk to Tom and Goglia of The San Diego NAD injection clinic where people are undergoing four, six or eight hour drip IVs with this NAD, this NAD molecule. You can also do this via push IVs. They're very uncomfortable, they're very expensive and they can be pretty time consuming. Now the other way to go about doing this is something that I've also been doing for about two months to maintain my levels of nad and that would be the use of NR nicotinamide riboside, which I referred to earlier. You can see this stuff is called TRU Niagen. Truniagen is one of the.
Converted into nad, which has all the beneficial effects on longevity and mitochondria and health. So what I do is I take two to four capsules of this truniage.
I personally do that and then I use this to maintain very high levels. But even if you want to skip things.
Nicotinamide riboside that you find in this true Niagen stuff is a very, very good way to.
