The second half of your life can bring some of your most rewarding decades. But when it comes to healthy aging and your diet, there are plenty of mixed up “facts” that need to be unraveled. In this episode, our special guest Dr. Charles Brenner separates nutrition fact from fiction and explain the science of aging better. Listen now!
Brief Bio:
Our guest today is Dr. Charles Brenner, the Roy J. Carver Chair of Biochemistry at the University of Iowa.
Charles is one of the world’s leading experts on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, commonly referred to as NAD, which is an essential molecule found in every living cell. In 2004, he discovered the nicotinamide riboside kinase pathway, which leads to a special form of vitamin B3.
We talk to Charles about his research into NAD and why he believes supplementation with NR could help people age better. In addition to his work at the University of Iowa, he is also the chief scientific advisor for ChromaDex, which markets the NR supplement Tru Niagen.
