What are you doing to be fit as you can be for next year?
Over 40, you can keep getting fitter and stronger when you counteract what is happening with your body as you age. Below we’re sharing our daily recipe for being the best athlete you can be over the age of 40.
The primary focus of the anti-aging medical community these days is the steady and continuous decline of energy-producing potential in our cells. This is even more important for athletes looking to maintain their training as they age.
The best correlation between age and energy they have found is the decline of NAD+ levels (a key energy precursor) that steadily declines during aging. By the time we are middle-aged, our levels of NAD+ have fallen to half of our youthful levels. What if we can use NAD+ supplements to regain some of this decline? Will additional NAD+ help us keep training and be as fit as we can be?
In our experience, the answer to both appears to be YES.
In our usage of NAD supplements, we have noticed a measurable ability to train longer and maintain higher training levels week to week without burning out.
The impact is subtle. You will not take a NAD supplement and then be jumping out of bed the next day. But after making NAD supplementation a part of my daily routine, we’ve noticed that we can keep our training levels much higher day to day and week to week.
Admittedly we haven’t always kept up NAD supplementation, and this weekend we looked back at training in Apple Health and our Whoop, and whenever we’ve stopped supplementation, training is inconsistent. with one good day of training and then 2 or 3 days where training sucked.
Only on a daily routine of NAD supplementation, do we see that we consistently put in 4 or 5 excellent workouts per week.
Realizing this is by no means a scientific study, but it has convinced us that daily NAD supplementation is a key to keeping training at an optimal (and desired) level over the age of 40.
There are lots of opinions of the best way to supplement NAD+, and to avoid a detailed scientific discussion, here is the share. Take 4 to 6 pumps of Quicksilver NAD+ Gold each morning. This is a sublingual form of NMN that you hold under your tongue for 30 seconds. NMN is a precursor to NAD+ production. Then take a daily pouch of the Athlete Multi-V from First Endurance. This includes all the micronutrients your body needs for maximum energy (ATP Production), including the rockstar ingredient ALC (Acetyl-L-Carnitine), which unlocks your cells so they can absorb the nutrients. Add to my Athlete Multi-V from First Endurance the Anti-Aging Add-On, which is two capsules of Thorne ResveraCel that increases my Nicotinamide Riboside or NR levels, another precursor to NAD production.
Trying every combination of supplements, and this 3 part formula is by far the best we’ve used. Each part works together. You are adding the NAD+ Gold & Thorne ReserveraCel to boost NAD+ levels, but you are also giving your cells the fuel they need to produce more energy with the Athlete Multi-V from First Endurance.
