The little end-caps on your DNA are telomeres. They wear out or fall off letting the DNA leak all over the kitchen floor which is an aging experience. Telomerase keeps the telomeres functional.  One supplement outfit that I subscribe to,  LiveCellResearch.com scans credible research and puts together attractive supplement combinations based on recent findings. They  aggressively market with well written emails. Since they reference a lot sources - and I check them - I find them c redible.  I give them the credit for turning me onto this combination. (They sell a Cadillac version, but I started out with the Pontiac version.) Ashwagandha    The Big brand in India, " Tranqualine" is the Caddy concentrate KSM-66 (LCR.com uses it).

The Mice Were Right * NR (Nicotinamide Rhiboside) is the current star supplement in the Longer-Healthier-Life category (see piece below), but the vast majority of actual scientific testing of the vitamin has been on mice (and yeast, but hey...). Now real scientists have tested it on real people and reported in a real, peer reviewed journal, Nature Communications , part of the British behemoth, Nature . It's a small-sample study, but impressive nonetheless.  It is a part safety/side effects study and part proof-of-concept one. The news is all good. Even at four times what was thought to be the "regular" dosage, there are zero short term side effects.  And the presumed effect (seen in mice and yeast) of boosting the helpful NAD+ is clearly proven in humans.
