“When administered intravenously, NR and NMN did reach the liver, kidney, and muscle tissues, raising NAD+ levels in a dose-dependent manner. In some tissues, NR did so somewhat more successfully. However, neither NR nor NMN crossed the blood-brain barrier.”

“The higher mortality risk associated with decreased levels of muscular strength is similar to well-established risk factors for early death such as obesity, hypertension or smoking. Maintaining muscle mass and strength through various forms of strength training may be a modifiable risk factor for all-cause mortality.”

“Creatine has the strongest direct exercise-performance role in the group. It helps replenish ATP during repeated effort, and 3 to 5 grams per day can gradually raise and maintain muscle creatine stores. Dr. Patrick takes 10 grams daily with both muscle and brain energy in mind.”

“Of these, 48 required ventilator support. The authors used a form of magnetic resonance imaging called multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to assess heart muscle damage in the patients.”

“However, mice that ate a high-protein diet but engaged in resistance-based training gained muscle mass but not excess body fat. Interestingly, the high-protein-fed mice gained strength faster but, by the study's end, did not outperform the low-protein group.”

“A small trial also found improved spine and femoral-neck density after one year of a specific collagen-peptide product, providing an early signal for further study. Creatine may support muscle and training capacity in some older adults, which can complement a broader exercise program.”
