[ExI] Longevity Day and Longevity Month - October 2016

[Keith Henson]

I would not mention this, but there were three articles about it in
the June 17 issue of Science.

How many of you are taking nicotinamide riboside?  I have been taking
it for close to a year.  If there are any out there taking it, I would
very much like to find out what side effects it had on you and share
what I know.
