@kathyjjb Hi... You mentioned a few things I am familiar with however not familiar with....NMN, NAD,NR., MAAC10. Could you help me with that, thanks.
Had you ever tried the Flaxseed Oil for the Omega's. That is something I have taken. I need to be more consistent with it.
Congratulations to your siblings and their dedication to medical studies and career. All so very needed in the big picture of life.
Hope you are doing better/well and finding your way around to manage this summer weather and conditions.
Barbara

@blm1007blm1007 Hi Barbara, I probably don't need omega 3 since I consume so much salmon, tuna, nuts, and chia seeds but I have it on hand if I don't feel like I'm getting enough in any given week. NMN and NR are precursors to NAD. NAD is used to keep cells healthy and energetic. This is a gross oversimplification. I like reading the research on the metabolic pathways and NMN or NR is really interesting in getting our NAD levels up. That said, if you just read some of the study results (minus the metabolic chemistry) it sure is interesting. We lose NAD rapidly as we age which explains why NMN and NR studies do not show benefits or at least not in short time periods for the young, healthy study participants (though body builders have been consuming for years). If you google NMN or NR there's a lot of information online. I really don't know anything about MAAC10 other than what was shared on a post from 2023(?). I just entered "NMN" on the Mayo Clinic Connect "SEARCH" and it came up. If taken 1/day, it only contains 150 mg and the studies I'm reading suggest that's too low a dose to get measurable improvement in strength and energy. Though the ingredients are intriguing and will take a closer look one of these days. I did message my NJH ID doctor that I was taking NMN and other supplements, but I doubt she will offer any advice on it. Also, beware of supplements and make sure the brands are 3rd party tested and don't contain unnecessary fillers. We are getting rain here and the AQI has been much better this week. Thank you about my siblings. I come from a family of doctors. I was the black sheep and studied Chemical Engineering.
