I also take supplements and in fact most of my

colleagues are in the field of anti-aging. So I take NMN every morning.

What ist NMN?

So about 20 years ago a team of us at MIT (Massachusetts

Institute of Technology) discovered a set of genes that controls aging and

those genes are called sirtuins and what they do is they protect all organisms

on the planet from deterioration and disease. They’re like the pentagon. They

send out the troops to defend us. So when you put more of these genes into a

mouse, they’ll live longer. We can now mimic that with molecules. So NMN is one

of those molecules. So is resveratrol. You can think of resveratrol as the

accelerator pedal for the sirtuin genes and NMN is the fuel.
