Been taking this for nearly 5 years. Shits the real deal. No pretending when you’re competing still against 20-something that barely washed out of their pro nhl career… but yeah not like being 55 and playing high level hockey is any sort of ‘proof’ around here (or my multiple sets of 20-25 pull-ups I do regularly and I could barely do 10 when I was 30).
Look up Dr. Standfield on YouTube he has a great health channel on all this stuff and digs into everything including NMN/nr and all the backing metadata / Cochrane research papers…
I focus on stopping my NAD from declining by using Apigenin, Quercetin, Fisetin, Niacin, regular exercise, a great diet, periods of safe fasting, and restful sleep.
Since I’m 30, there’s not a reason for me to take NMN in addition to the above strategies at the moment.
As I enter my mid-30s, if my NAD levels are going down I will start taking NR.
At this stage, there is far more published human data on NR compared with NMN. NR also has its Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) certification from the FDA. For those reasons, I would start NR, and not NMN."
That’s not 100% true, he recommends NR because there are human trials and NMN is still being studded. Also he won’t be adding either until he’s around 45-50 (he’s only in his 30s)
I had a one-on-one phone call with him Sunday (Dr. Standfield) and we discussed my experience with NMN vs NR and which was ideal for my situation. Long / short his review of my stack was summed up as ‘you are doing everything right stick with NMN.’ The only change was to switch from l-serine to glycine.
It is true Sinclair blocked him after he asked for clarion some of his research (so rude!).
I’ve been taking NR too on and off as well, in my experience it doesn’t seem to have much effect on my athletic performance. So for me I’m sticking with an NMN even though there’s more clinical studies on nr at the moment
If I had to guess, when you started taking it at 50 you were also exceptionally fit and healthy for your age. Would you invest that money in a supplement if you were already over the hill ?
According to Dr.Sinclair (referenced in another comment), the NMN most people buy is probably worthless given it isn't stable. I buy it anyway because I have no better option and it doesn't burden my budget.
True, I played high-level hockey my whole life. And have actively worked out at a very high level most of my life… However I noticed everything dropping off around 50 and nothing seem to curb that. Especially my on ice speed which used to be always in the mid-20s and had dropped to the upper teens…
After starting NMN particular my VO two max and on ice speed went back up to my norm and have remained the same and actually gone back up and he’s always 22 to 25 miles an hour, at least when I’m playing against other high-end talent…. Sorry for the
Poor grammar working out and using voice Rec
