Well I do see this quote:

"Turner said a “magic pill” that reverses ageing is several years away, partially due to the cost of the compound, which would be about $50,000 a day for a human."

So in guessing there's some special processing of the compound or a special way to get it into each cell somehow.



Currently, you can buy NADH, which seem different, or NAD+ precursors (Niacin, Niacinamide) or Niagen (https://chromadex.com/Ingredients/NIAGEN.html), which is proprietary and suppoedly increasing NAD+ levels. It's pretty expensive as of now compared to Niacin, but, still, $50/month isn't that much. Combining Niagen with Resveratrol should do the trick.


I've been taking Niacinamide + Resveratrol for over 2 years. Honestly, I don't see any positive effect, but neither I see any negative effects either. Given I'm 40 now, I'm not 100% sure if this is a negative or a positive outcome. For example, without any supplementation, maybe I should've aged more... but how can I know for sure. My point it, as long as the supplement is orthomolecular, the negative side of spending a few dollars per month is well-justified.


Any expected or potential side effects?
