It's not going to overbuild in your body, but you really can't take too much of it.

It's a great question. So I like to think of supplements or any treatment for that matter in terms of precursors versus end products. So if you give your body an end product, like if you give your body testosterone or if you give your body growth hormone, it triggers your body's natural reaction to stop production because you're getting it exogenously.

But NED, because it's an enzyme, it's a precursor, it's fueling your body's production even more. So your body knows what to do with it and to generate more of it. So if you give your body an end product versus a precursor, your body would shut down its production. But if you give your body a precursor, it's actually stimulating it to produce more.

So think about your body is always trying to self-correct. And as you age, part of what causes aging is your body's inability to self-correct. And studies have shown that NAD levels naturally over time decrease. So at the age of 30 or 35, your body starts slowing down its production of NAD. Therefore, it can't self-correct as well.

Additionally, toxins, stress, alcohol, other things that we encounter on a day-to-day basis reduce our levels. So in a perfect world, if we never reduced our production of NAD or plenty of other things that cause aging, we wouldn't age. But the idea is to find out what is causing the harmful effects of aging and replace that in a safe way to slow the effects of aging.

It's a great question. There's a couple of things you can do. So first of all, subjective benefit is benefit. Whether or not you can measure it, there are still plenty of subjective benefits of treatments like this, as there are with cold plunge and with infrared sauna and other things you can do. And it's not that there's one silver bullet that accomplishes everything.

I think they each incrementally help. That being said, you obviously want to have objective benefits as well. So you can check NAD levels. You can check your biological age. That's a very popular test now that there's a couple of different companies that sell.
