Mindsip insights from this episode:
Avoid high-dose IV vitamin C due to increased risk of death and organ dysfunction
In a study of 872 ICU patients, the group receiving IV vitamin C had a higher risk of death or organ dysfunction compared to the placebo group.
Understand IV NAD's limited impact on blood levels
A 2019 study found no change in blood NAD levels after a two-hour infusion because the molecule is rapidly and completely removed from the blood.
Beware microplastics in IV infusions
A recent study found that IV infusions can flood our system with microplastics, presenting a hidden risk to the procedure.
Reconsider IV NAD infusions due to inflammation risks
Contrary to anti-aging claims, studies show that NAD infusions can cause significant increases in inflammation, along with side effects like nausea and headaches.
Utilize oral taurine to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels
A meta-analysis of 25 clinical trials found that oral taurine supplements effectively decreased fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol.
Advocate for regulation of IV therapy clinics
As of June 2023, not a single state in the USA had legislation directly regulating IV therapy clinics, and their custom infusions are not FDA-regulated.
Reevaluate IV NAD infusions due to absorption flaws
