Listener Q&A:
Q: Madison Jewel from IG asks: “Can you recommend a NAD supplement that isn’t intravenous?”…55:15
Ben Recommends:
- All your living cells need NAD to function
- NAD can help to control the production of a protein in the brain called PGC1-α
- Lowers the risk of heart disease
- Lowers cancer risk except in the case of breast cancer that's pre-existing
- Support muscle function as you age
- Maintain a healthy circadian rhythm
- Ion Layer NAD patches (use code BEN to save $100 on your first order)
- NAD patches
- NAD patches increase NAD levels in humans by up to 50%
- NAD patches improved mitochondrial function in mice and increased lifespan
- NAD patches reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms in people with opioid use disorder
- Can result in some itching and some skin irritation

Q: Brian Dennis asks: “Any thoughts about developing a filtration system that incorporates hydrogen or Brown's Gas (hydrogen + oxygen)?”…1:01:34
Ben Recommends:
- Podcast with Dr. Gerald Pollack:
- Podcast with Zach Greenfield:
- George Wiseman
- Aqua Cure
- Hydrogen for Health
- The health effects of Brown's Gas:
- Similar to health effects that you would get from the use of hydrogen
- Anti-inflammatory effect
- Anti-allergenic effect
- Modulates the immune system
- George Wiseman's AquaCure line of H2 and Brown's Gas generators
-
- Good H2 generators but not the best. But, they are capable of generating Brown's Gas (a plus) but require that lye (sodium hydroxide) be added to the water to generate Brown's Gas.
- There's Hydrogen for Health a competitor to AquaCure. They offer Brown's Gas capable models.
- There is also Hue Light from South Korea. More sophisticated and expensive. You get much higher H2 flow. It uses the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) method to generate only H2 (not Brown's Gas capable).
-
- 2 ways to treat larger bodies of water:
-
- Get a really really big Brown’s Gas electrolyzer, like this one:
- ER 1600 Water Torch
- Cost is in the $18,000 range to set up, but the water stays clear
- Use a much smaller Brown’s Gas electrolyzer with a nano-bubbling apparatus
- Get a really really big Brown’s Gas electrolyzer, like this one:
