A healthy heart doesn’t beat like a metronome.

How can we conserve NAD+ by preventing overactivation of the enzymes PARP-1 and CD38, which guzzle NAD+?

A randomized controlled trial investigates diet and psychological well-being.

You can naturally get your body to make more NAD+ by boosting the NAD+ synthesizing enzyme NAMPT.

Particular caution should be used for NAD+-boosting supplements by those with cancer, a personal or strong family history of cancer and perhaps also by those with inflammatory disorders and certain active infections.

What happened when topical olive oil was pitted against an ibuprofen-type drug for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?

What are the pros, cons, and efficacy of dihydronicotinamide riboside (reduced NR), perhaps the most potent NAD+ precursor, as well as reduced NMN, taking NAD+ directly, or making it from scratch from tryptophan?

NR may just be a waste of money, safe but ineffective. NMN seems similarly useless in humans, but it may not even be safe.

Common drugs, foods, and beverages can disrupt the integrity of our intestinal barrier. Which foods should we avoid to prevent leaky gut? Which foods and food components can boost the integrity of our intestinal barrier?

The suppression of NAD+ synthesis by NR in humans may explain the disparate rodent results.

The metabolism of NAM may deplete our methylation capacity, interfering with the normal metabolism of hormones and neurotransmitters, and produce a neurotoxic compound in the process.

What did randomized controlled human trials find about the ways we may—or may not—benefit from eating onions?

Given niacin’s decades of use as a cholesterol drug, we have a good idea of its safety profile.

The effects of NAD+ boosters on aged rodents have been described in the medical literature as “profound,” “dramatic,” and “remarkable,” but do they help people?

How might we moderate the rare but very real risk of headbanging?

What is NAD+ and what role does it play in the aging process?

Do pet parents (or pawrents) live longer?

Even though using cannabis may help with IBD symptoms in the short-term, it may make the long-term prognosis worse.

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that an infusion of spinach leaves has evidently been used since ancient times to treat respiratory symptoms.

Eight threads of saffron a day can improve visual acuity in older adults with mild or moderate age-related macular degeneration.

Did the five randomized controlled trials of reishi mushrooms in cancer patients show benefits in tumor response rate, survival time, or quality of life?

What is the role of dietary beta-carboline alkaloids in the development of the most common movement disorder?

A prebiotic derived from a type of brown seaweed is used for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s dementia in China. Does it work?

Perhaps it should be less about personalized nutrition and more about taking personal responsibility for our own health.

Perhaps Ugandans had more than 50 times fewer varicose veins for the same reason they had 50 times less heart disease and up to 50 times less colon cancer.

Which of these three works, which doesn’t, and which may be too toxic to take safely?

There is a reason the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prohibit not only smoking, but also scented or fragranced products in its office buildings.

Centenarian stool has anti-aging effects when fed to mice.

Which fruits have anti-inflammatory effects and which do not?

Why might healthy lifestyle choices wipe out 90 percent of our risk for having a heart attack, whereas drugs may only reduce risk by 20 to 30 percent?
