In this week’s episode, Dr. David Sinclair and co-host Matthew LaPlante zero in on drugs and supplements that have been reported to combat aspects of aging. They share the latest experimental and clinical data for NAD boosters (these being NR, NMN, NAD IV drips and shots), resveratrol, fisetin, quercetin, rapamycin, spermidine, metformin, and berberine. Given the abundance of data available, a special focus is placed on the NAD precursors nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide. Known mechanisms, limitations, and/or side effects associated with these molecules are additionally highlighted. Correction and clarification: At time point 1:07:37, Dr. Sinclair says he takes 1 gram of Spermidine, but the active ingredient in the capsules is 1-2 milligrams. We apologize for the confusion. #DavidSinclair #Longevity #Lifespan Thank you to our sponsors: Levels - https://levels.link/sinclair InsideTracker - https://insidetracker.com/sinclair Athletic Greens - https://athleticgreens.com/sinclair Our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/davidsinclair Lifespan book: https://amzn.to/3sUqurT Dr. David Sinclair Social: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/davidsinclairphd Twitter - https://twitter.com/davidasinclair Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/davidsinclairphd Matthew LaPlante's Social: Twitter - https://twitter.com/mdlaplante Timestamps: 00:00:00 Kicking Off Episode Four: Longevity Molecules 00:02:15 Thanking the Sponsors 00:04:46 An Additional Boost Beyond Adversity Mimetics 00:05:52 Drugs vs. Supplements and Highlight Points 00:09:54 Longevity Molecules Target the Survival Circuit 00:11:33 NAD Boosters 00:13:32 Nicotinamide Riboside 00:21:26 Nicotinamide Mononucleotide 00:29:22 NAD Intravenous Drips 00:32:45 Bioavailability of NAD Boosters 00:33:40 NAD and Cancer 00:35:33 Resveratrol 00:42:26 Red Wine and The French Paradox 00:43:08 Fisetin and Quercetin 00:47:09 Rapamycin and Rapalogs 00:49:10 Spermidine 00:51:27 Metformin 01:00:27 Berberine 01:02:43 Dr. Sinclair’s Protocol for Longevity Molecules 01:08:51 Wrap-up and Next Week’s Episode: Interventions on the Cutting Edge 01:09:52 Options for Subscription and Support Links: The Sinclair Lab website: https://sinclair.hms.harvard.edu/ Nicotinamide riboside is well-tolerated in humans: https://go.nature.com/3G1blbb Nicotinamide riboside is a sirtuin-activator: https://bit.ly/3FUWWxa Mice treated with nicotinamide riboside are longer-lived: https://bit.ly/3KD5L2h Nicotinamide riboside protects mice against obesity: https://bit.ly/345E4hF An inflammatory signature is attenuated by nicotinamide riboside: https://bit.ly/3Aum78I Nicotinamide riboside, pterostilbene, and ALS: https://bit.ly/3nYdxK6 Nicotinamide mononucleotide combats diabetes in mice: https://bit.ly/3AwakXx Aging is slowed by nicotinamide mononucleotide: https://bit.ly/344jGgW Nicotinamide mononucleotide in prediabetic women: https://bit.ly/3H1vv6b NAD and cancer in mice: https://go.nature.com/32xl1wp Resveratrol protects mice against a high-calorie diet: https://go.nature.com/3G2pZyE Resveratrol in patients with type 2 diabetes: https://rsc.li/3Aupk8h Supplementing resveratrol in metabolic syndrome patients: https://bit.ly/3IE6C0Q Fisetin enhances longevity in mice: https://bit.ly/3o10hom Quercetin and fatty liver disease: https://bit.ly/3H4KWdF Dasatinib and quercetin decrease senescent cell burden: https://bit.ly/35pCHuY Mice fed rapamycin late in life live longer: https://go.nature.com/3F0yud3 Spermidine induces life extension and cardioprotection in mice: https://go.nature.com/3fXL5nn Spermidine and older subjects with cognitive decline: https://bit.ly/3IG0MMy Healthspan and lifespan in mice are improved by metformin: https://go.nature.com/3JSRZbs Metformin, age-related diseases, and mortality: https://bit.ly/3KG0iaS Targeting aging with metformin (TAME) trial: https://bit.ly/3eU9ABk Treating mice with berberine extends lifespan: https://bit.ly/3AwkO9l Lifespan in fruit flies is prolonged by berberine: https://bit.ly/3nYpwYt Berberine and metabolic disorders: https://bit.ly/3KUpwCC Please note that Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair is distinct from Dr. Sinclair's teaching and research roles at Harvard Medical School.
