-- NAD has been found to have the capability of restoring 60 year old muscles to function as 20 year old muscles. This is not only excellent news for muscles; but also for diseases such as type 2 diabetes which can be helped by having healthy muscle that can process glucose.
The problem is that the treatment currently cost $1,000 per gram which would mean it would cost about $46,000 a day for treatment.
This sounds like an opensource bio challenge. Can we find a more efficient way to produce NAD, make it available for anyone and avoid the huge pharma markup?
