Blocks NNMT in fat cells In 3T3-L1 mouse fat cells, 30 M of 5-Amino-1MQ for 24 hours strongly lowered 1-MNA levels direct proof of NNMT inhibition (Neelakantan et al., Biochemical Pharmacology, 2018)
While these results seem at odds with the common use of NAC as ROS scavenger, more recent literature shows that NAC also can enhance ROS generation under conditions, where cells express a certain pattern of enzymes that regulate ROS production (53), are co-treated with certain ROS generators (54), or suffer from mitochondrial stress (55)
Theoretical Basis for Synergy The potential for synergy between NAD+ and AOD9604 stems from their complementary mechanisms: NAD+ for Cellular Foundation: NAD+ optimizes the fundamental machinery of the cell
Administration Depending on current best practices, treatment may be via injection or other medically approved delivery
Self-administered B12 shots are generally recommended for individuals: whose bloodwork has documented low B12 levels Patients with pernicious anemia or a lack of intrinsic factor Individuals with Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or post-bariatric surgery malabsorption Vegans and strict vegetarians are unable to correct the deficiency through diet Older adults whose stomach acid production has declined with age Anyone on long-term metformin or proton pump inhibitors Across most of the U.S., injectable B12 is not sold over the counter a clinician has to write the script before a pharmacy can dispense it
