Hello there Lifespan community, this week I have been looking into Dr David Sinclair supplement, diet and exercise routines. I have listened to his podcasts, Lifespan, which I found very informative and interesting. I have also read is book lifespan, I recommend them both. Over the next three – four weeks, I’ll drop more information on Dr David Sinclair longevity routine.

NMN – Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
We talked above about the sirtuin activator Resveratrol, now let’s talk about NMN, which helps provides the “fuel” for the sirtuins to work.
NMN falls into a category of supplements, along with Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), referred to as “NAD boosters” – which have become increasingly popular.
NAD is required for every cell of our body to help facilitate energy production. As discussed above, by age 50 you have about half as much NAD as at age 20!
The intention is that by supplementing precursors we can boost the cellular level of NAD closer to youthful levels.
There’s little to no doubt in the research community that we need to restore NAD function; but the jury is still out on what the best method will be. Currently David has his eggs in the basket of NMN.
Stay tuned for next week and we will have more information for our readers.
Thanks again for taking time to read.
