But just in case, we also brought onto our scientific advisory board one of the leading cancer researchers at Scripps Research Institute, Bruni Felding.
And she's done numerous studies on nicotinamide riboside and even all the range of vitamin B3s in a whole range of cancers, breast cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, other cancers.
