“While both can be useful (depending on context), they have different implications: much like a person's glucose may fluctuate throughout the day, standard lab measures of omega-3 rely on plasma, biasing them to the content of a recent meal.”

“- Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. One particular trial that received a lot of media coverage, the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) reported that higher plasma omega-3 fatty concentrations were associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer.”

“More importantly, however, these effects were sustained – even after several months – demonstrating that sulforaphane did not exhaust the body's capacity to protect itself from environmental threats and suggesting that regular consumption of sulforaphane in foods or dietary supplements provides a kind of nutritional "seatbelt" that protects against future toxic exposures.”

“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.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“The fascinating way Dr. Panda is using human anecdote from his trial to ask new scientific questions he wouldn't think to ask and then going back to animal data to figure it out and how this unique approach forms a sort of closed loop pattern: animal → human feedback → back to animal for mechanism.”

“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?”

“It is served in a variety of dishes, including sushi and pasta, or as a garnish or condiment to seafood or eggs. Salmon roe is rich in protein, vitamins, astaxanthin, and the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA.”

“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.”

“The human body can synthesize NAD+ from a variety of dietary sources, including tryptophan (an amino acid) and the three forms of niacin (vitamin B3) – nicotinamide (NAM, also called niacinamide), nicotinic acid (NA), and nicotinamide riboside (NR) – commonly referred to as niacin equivalents.”
