“Decaffeination can cause minor reductions in water-soluble compounds like trigonelline, a precursor to niacin (vitamin B3). This reduction typically ranges around 10–20%, but given that coffee isn't a major niacin source, this difference is negligible nutritionally.”

“NAD+ can also be synthesized from other precursors including nicotinamide (NAM, also called niacinamide), nicotinic acid (NA), and nicotinamide riboside (NR), which are often collectively referred to as niacin (vitamin B3) or niacin equivalents.”

“This Aliquot exposes many of my latest thoughts on a variety of nutrition-oriented topics, highlighting my dietary choices and the supplements I'm either for or against, including PQQ, omega-3s, calcium, and vitamins D and K.”

“A: Unrefined sweeteners are more likely to contain fiber and micronutrients (i.e., vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals), which slow the absorption of sugar and blunt the glycemic response. Q: Are non-nutritive (i.e., artificial) sweeteners a good alternative to sugar?”

“Three COSMOS cognitive substudies found small improvements in global cognition and episodic memory among older adults who received a standard multivitamin. Vitamin D supplementation can help correct low vitamin D status, which is influenced by sun exposure, skin pigmentation, season, latitude, and other factors.”

“National survey analyses estimated that roughly 38% to 47% of Americans consumed less vitamin C than the Estimated Average Requirement across 1999–2018, while an earlier biomarker survey found clinical vitamin C deficiency in about 7%.”

“A standard multivitamin can help fill micronutrient gaps when diet does not consistently provide enough vitamins and minerals. In this clip from Dr. Steve Horvath's FoundMyFitness interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick, they discuss three cognitive substudies within the COSMOS trial program.”

“It is likely that there may be several different compounds present in coffee that may have a positive effect on cognitive function. On a side note, retinoic acid (vitamin A) was also shown to boost the activity of this enzyme although to a lesser degree than caffeine.”

“For example, supplementation with nicotinamide riboside, a form of vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) may increase NAD+ levels within the cells of some tissues, stimulating some of the cellular changes associated with the benefits of caloric restriction.”
