Generative Energy # 8: The Youth Steroids (with Haidut)

[ddjd]

@haidut mentions five things that make youth steroid hormones

- t3
- cholesterol
- Vit A
- NAD (from niacinamide)
- ATP

I understand the others, but how does someone increase their ATP levels?

and are there other ways than niacinamide to increase NAD?

It is not that ATP and NAD make steroids, it is that they are required cofactors in steroid synthesis. Vitamin A is also a cofactor. Cholesterol is the raw material. T3 raises both ATP and NAD. Other things that raise NAD include methylene blue and quinones like vitamin K, emodin, CoQ10, tetracyline antibiotics, etc.
NAD and ATP levels are correlated almost perfectly. So, raising one usually results in elevation of the other as well. But T3 is probably the most reliable way to raise ATP.
