400 million people are allergic to dust mites, which feed on skin flakes in beds & carpets. When mice were exposed to mite allergens, the NAD booster NMN reduced airway inflammation & mucus. Trials of NMN against allergies & asthma are warranted 🤧 See thread…

Diagnosis involves a skin prick test or blood test. Management includes using allergen-proof bed covers, washing bedding in hot water, maintaining low humidity levels, and regularly cleaning and vacuuming. Antihistamines and nasal corticosteroids may be prescribed…
I don’t sell or endorse any NAD booster supplements (despite companies using my name and image) but I do research them in my lab and cofounded a company to develop NAD boosters as FDA approved medicines Metrobiotech.com
In human clinical trials run by Shalender Bhasin’s group @BrighamWomens, a version of NMN called MIB-626 at 1 g/day raised NAD levels in blood cells by ~2-fold academic.oup.com
Would be great to test NAD boosters in people with asthma or dust mite allergies to see if they alleviate symptoms 🙏
