All:
 
Many of us will have seen the npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease news story "The first human clinical study for NMN has started in Japan" that accompanied the Elysium Basis trial. It linked the entry in the Japanese clinical trial registry. Here are the English-language registry entries for current and upcoming NMN trials there:
 

Official scientific title of the study Assessment of the safety of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) in healthy subjects; phase I study. The clinical trial to evaluate metabolic-syndrome-related parameters to develop NMN as Foods with Function Claims.

Funny how the guy claims the changes in lifestyle required are "moderate". Calorie restriction may only have a modest effect on aging in humans, but the changes required in lifestyle to meet CR requirements are fairly significant and difficult for the vast majority of people.  Trying to limit my calories to 1000 a day would end up being pretty miserable. Life would only seem longer, because that's how torture works. All I would ever think about is food.

 

I'll fast 24 hrs a week, but I'm hoping NMN or better options hit the market soon.

I have started short-term fasting because there is nothing better out there to combat aging (exercise a lot as well).

 

When anti-aging therapeutics/therapies arrive, I will taper off on the fasting....because I want to enjoy life and enjoy food.

 

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on the NMN trials Michael.

Nate, the two currently most researched NAD+ precursors, NMN and NR, are both available to the public. Elysium Health sells a NR supplement called Basis. NMN is what NMN researcher Dr. David Sinclair takes himself, and a few companies offer that. I compared both precursors here:

Does anyone know where Dr. Sinclair gets the NMN that he consumes?  Also, how sure are we that NMN won't cause any adverse side-effects?  Sorry if this is a newbie question, I've been reading about it, but still learning.

Don't know where Dr. Sinclair gets his NMN, but probably from some manufacturing source unavailable to us.  I've taken both NR for about two years and NMN for three months and have had no adverse side-effects, nor has anyone I know who takes them. Sinclair and his family consume one gram per day of NMN and have had no problems, just the opposite.

I've been taking NMN since July 2015 and the only side effect that I have noticed is a rapid slimming of the wallet!

read about personal experiences here, adverse side effects are few and far between

Sinclair likely gets his direct from some super lab somewhere, its almost certainly not from a commercial source that you and I can access.
