Some of them, some of these inhibitors are not ours, but others have been shown to increase lifespan and to correct some of the aging associated energy deficits. much more sort of efficiently than the precursors.
So my prediction is that if you think about NAD defect in the future, in the long run, we probably will be looking for these CD38 inhibitors rather than filling up the tank with more water.

Exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly.
You got it. You got it. And, you know, one reason for doing this is And this speaks also to the importance. A lot of people are taking a lot of supplements these days and they're not being followed appropriately by physician.

As I was taking a lot of NMN, I was always concerned because we know that NMN as it's being, if you take a large amount of it, will consume your one carbon, your methyl groups. As I was doing this, I was always following my homocysteine levels. Actually, I found it to rise significantly in the presence of a large amount of NMN intake. If it goes too high, I stop my NMN for a while.

You're speaking to the fact that all of these processes are connected. And I'm somewhat worried about, you know, the proliferation of supplements that are being touted and sold to some somewhat naive public hoping, you know, this is going to increase my lifespan. There are a lot of, you know, there are very few molecules that have absolutely no consequence. And I think

Yes. A typical NAD infusion costs about $700. There are studies showing what happens when you inject NAD intravenously. It goes to your liver and it is cleaved into nicotinamides and ADP ribose. Now, the nicotinamide is essentially niacin. You can buy this for 20 cents or whatever. So this $700 injection, I really have no idea. Actually, no one has any idea what happens to it.
