Jamieson notes that peptides can be very helpful to manage some of the changes seen in skin as a result of hormonal shifts, such as dryness, sensitivity, and pigmentation. For women looking for a gentler alternative to retinoids (which can be too aggressive on hormonally sensitized skin), peptides in skincare offer a legitimate option
Increased NAD supports redox and sirtuin-dependent pathways tied to mitochondrial function, lipid oxidation, and insulin action
A 2022 dose-response RCT (Yi et al., Geroscience) at 300/600/900 mg/day raised NAD+ dose-dependently with no safety issues at 60 days
NAD(+)-dependent repair of damaged DNA by human cell extracts
The combination of altered transit and potentially reduced acid creates conditions where B12 absorption efficiency could decline
Probably fragments of degraded material. Cohen is now the dean of the gerontology school at the University of Southern California, and his lab has identified many more peptides
