By the same token, there are animals who have the „live for 400 years“ problem solved so there must be sth left on the table yes? Other animals have the „regenerate this body part“ problem solved, same.
Some have the never get cancer solved (I read that about chickens... but I can't remember where)

That's not interesting, because the Bible is a work of fiction, and thus not relevant to any discussions of scientific merit.
Its just an observation, fiction or not. i remember this fact from the bible and its funny how in this article they talk about 400-500years human lifespan.
Plenty of other old texts depict long-lived humans as well. It's probably been a fantasy among humans for many thousands of years.

"The roughly 2,271 genera are placed in 256 families. The many parasitic forms include pathogens in most plants and animals. A third of the genera occur as parasites of vertebrates; about 35 nematode species occur in humans."
Wait - did we actually start by extending the lifespans of our parasites??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nematode "The roughly 2,271 genera are placed in 256 families.

Dang, my retirement savings will have to last much longer than I had expected.
While stated in what I interpret is a joking way, it is a very real concern. As the average life expectancy increases we either have to plan for a longer period of non-productivity (in the private sector) or work longer. A blend of the two seems to be what is occurring, but over my life time I have seen my expected retirement age continue to push slightly further away.

I do all of those things, but I am finding the NMN to be quite costly. I take almost the same amount as Dr. Sinclair, which means going through a bottle of pills every three to five days. I really hope someone makes a less expensive version soon. I do feel the difference and can probably attribute it to higher ATP production. I have no idea if it's helping my cardio vascular system.
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.

How are you getting that much without bankrupting yourself? It's extremely expensive, even in bulk powder form.

I second that. I have to spend a lot to get 800mg/day. That's why I would love to see more companies make it and the price come down. I fully understand the molecule is a little more complex than its precursor, but maybe if more people made it, then the price would come down? /shrug
