“Age Reversal Is Coming.” Inside The First Human Trials - Dr David Sinclair

What was said

""we found in my lab, which I don't think is in Andrea's paper, is that there is endotoxin in NMN bulk and supplements. Endotoxin comes from bacteria, causes inflammation.""

David Sinclair alleges some NMN and other NAD-precursor supplements can contain endotoxin, and says his lab discovered contamination during mouse longevity experiments. He says his team worked with manufacturers to improve purity and advises consumers to look for reputable suppliers, GMP standards and batch analytics.
