Could NAD IVs Be Bad For You (& How To Boost NAD Naturally), With Dr. Nichola Conlon
Summary
Ben Greenfield interviews molecular biologist Nicola to clarify NAD’s role in energy and repair, debunking myths about IVs and simple precursors. They explain how aging reduces the NAMPT enzyme, hindering NAD recycling, and discuss how inflammation further depletes levels. Nicola details her company Nuchito’s formula, which uses nicotinamide, rutin, and apigenin to activate salvage pathways and inhibit CD38 for sustainable NAD support.
