They regulate hormones, immune responses, and tissue repair
Therapeutic Class Anti-anaemic / Vitamin Supplement Action Class Coenzyme for DNA Synthesis and Myelin Maintenance Chemical Class Water-Soluble Vitamin / Cobalt-Containing Corrinoid Habit Forming Not considered habit-forming
The researchers proposed that the compounds effects on muscle function operate through boosting NAD+ levels by inhibiting NNMTs consumption of nicotinamide, more substrate is available for NAD+ synthesis via the salvage pathway, supporting mitochondrial function and energy metabolism in aged skeletal muscle
Prioritize protein (0.7 to 1.0 grams per pound of target body weight), eat frequent small meals rather than large infrequent ones, limit high-fat foods during dose increases to reduce nausea, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol (which worsens both GI side effects and calorie intake)
