I'd appreciate your views on this.
I have a friend that's always been emotionally labile, but has empathy and is caring. In the last couple of years he seems to be 'refusing' to show sympathy or support in conversation in the normal way. He's always been a difficult character and has been through a lot of stress, a relationship breakup and of course the lockdowns etc.
But the other day we were talking about the attack on the world trade centre and he said he was at the local shop talking to the shop keeper when the first tower went down. This isn't correct. I was. He was at the house. I came back to the house and told him. I know it's a long time ago, and he's never had the best memory and has adhd, but this seemed like a confabulation.
It's the only one I've noticed. Am I being picky. I want to help.
I did tell him about NMN and as he always says, he doesn't remember to take things like supplements. This is a stable thing, he's said that for twenty years.
All his friends tell me there's nothing wrong and nothing different about him and I can see why they are saying that. There isn't.
Except in this community we want to preserve health.
He told me he'd take NMN after I told him about it (benefits and some unknowns about it).
Do we know anything about NMN's ability to protect the brain? My friend is a very young 65, eats extremely healthily and everyone thinks he's in his early 40's. I'm just a little concerned for him and would value your viewpoints. Thanks. (also should I worry about that 'confabulation' or not, does anyone know? I've got a very thorough long term memory, to a fault almost, so am I being too concerned)
