How many milligrams of NMN do you take each day?

Approx 800mg. The pill size varies with vendor so sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.

I saw a video by Chris Masterjohn suggesting that it may not be safe for everyone to take that high of a dose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWLv_iTpsXA

Could cause methylation issues for some as well as depleting creatine.

Which supplements are you taking? NMN? Niagen?

1 gram of NMN, metformin and resveratrol. Beyond that I take other things including carbon 60. Those are the most exotic items; the rest are your usual items such as fish-oil, krill oil, multi-vitiman most of which I tuned from my Inside-Tracker.com blood results. I also have the right genetics; aka longevity gene(s), Ashkenazi Jew markers, etc and my farther is in his upper 80's; his mother lived to 98. I don't want…

I've seen some articles suggesting that berberine (plus sylamarin) may be superior to metformin with fewer side effects (plus it's cheaper and doesn't require a prescription).
