Stance update (2025): Attia has consistently strengthened his skepticism, moving NMN/NAD from 'unproven' to explicitly categorizing it as 'noise' on his evidence hierarchy.

The Verdict

This is one of the most divisive topics among our 5 experts. Attia categorizes NAD supplementation as 'noise' on his evidence hierarchy, while Hyman actively advocates for NAD precursors as part of a longevity stack. Huberman personally takes NR and NMN for subjective energy but explicitly not for longevity. Patrick provides the most balanced scientific coverage, noting promising animal data but significant gaps in human evidence.

Where They Disagree

Attia classifies NAD as 'noise' while Hyman's guests recommend high-dose NMN (1000mg) as a core longevity supplement — a fundamental disagreement on the evidence threshold for recommendation.

Patrick notes that NMN and NR break down into nicotinamide, which can inhibit sirtuins — directly contradicting the rationale for taking NAD precursors to boost sirtuin activity.
