Brad Stanfield on NMN
8 episodes · 13 references · 2021–2026
- Stanfield is skeptical of NMN supplementation, citing studies showing no improvements in body composition, blood pressure, cholesterol, or glucose levels - Blood NAD levels rise with NMN but muscle NAD does not, undermining the core theory behind supplementation - No evidence of personal consumption or stated benefits; Stanfield's coverage is primarily cautionary
Best Practices
- Studies tested NMN doses ranging from 250 mg/day in women to up to 1,200 mg/day combined with exercise - A 250 mg/day dose was used in a 13-woman trial as a standard research protocol - Higher doses up to 1,200 mg/day were tested alongside exercise but Stanfield does not endorse a specific dose
Cautions
- NMN raised insulin levels after eating, which Stanfield calls a troubling finding - Blood NAD increases did not translate to muscle NAD increases, a major red flag for the supplementation theory - Current research shows no improvements in body composition, blood pressure, cholesterol, HbA1c, or glucose
“Nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN, is used as a supplement to boost NAD levels.”
David Sinclair Responds To The NMN Supplement Ban!
“We've got overwhelming human evidence that yes, NMN supplements, they do boost blood NAD.”
NMN Supplements: Hope vs Hype? (surprising conclusion)
“In the second study, 13 women were given NMN at a dose of 250 milligrams per day.”
