Longevity & the NAD bubble is coming:
I’ll be doing my first NAD intravenous injection soon.
Three points:
1) We will see an NAD bubble in OTC and small caps.
That’s inevitable.
Just like publicly listed equities: Cannabis, or 3D printing, EVs, or Ketamine clinics, or CRISPR, semiconductors in the 60s, neo-banks, China, pet care, crypto go thru this cycle.
For each of these, I can point to a set of stocks and say ‘watch bubble grow, watch bubble burst’
Take a look at 23 & Me stock for example…
GLPs are going thru the bubble phase now.
We are participating thru Novo Nordisk.
You may argue that GLP is not a bubble but b/c the benefits are legitimate.
But that’s also true for EVs, Cannabis, CRISPR, and many other technologies.
Bubbles are unavoidable in markets.
Bubbles are part of human psychology.
Investing has a social component (FOMO and FOPO), and bubbles are a social phenomenon.
Just recognize that mini-bubbles are common so you maintain an ‘outside in’ view.
2) Benefits:
For the NAD+ first timers, here are some of the key benefits associated with NAD+ IV therapy:
1. Boosts Energy Levels: NAD+ is essential for converting food into energy. By increasing NAD+ levels, this therapy can help enhance cellular energy production, potentially leading to increased overall energy levels.
2. Supports Brain Health: NAD+ is known to assist in DNA repair and cell repair, and it also plays a role in the functioning of the brain. It may improve mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function, and has been explored as a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases.
3. Anti-Aging Effects: NAD+ levels naturally decrease with age. By replenishing NAD+ levels, this therapy may help mitigate some of the cellular aspects of aging and promote healthier aging at the cellular level.
4. Addiction and Recovery Support: NAD+ IV therapy is used in some detoxification programs. It may help reduce withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and support the recovery process in individuals with substance abuse issues.
5. Improves Cellular Repair and Regeneration: NAD+ plays a role in activating enzymes that may help in repairing and protecting DNA. This can be important for cell regeneration and overall health.
6. Chronic Fatigue and Energy Syndromes: People suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome may find relief with NAD+ therapy, as it could help in boosting their energy levels.
7. Mood Regulation: NAD+ has been suggested to have a role in regulating mood and potentially alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.
3) I will report back and share the experience…
