A new pill mimics the effects of a crash diet and slashes the risk of a heart attack by up to 25 per cent, a study claims.
The tablet contains nicotinomide riboside, a form of vitamin B3, that is advertised as promoting endurance, energy and healthy ageing.
And a new study, involving 24 lean and healthy volunteers, found taking it twice a day can reverse cardiovascular ageing.
It works in the same way as a calorie restricted diet, which boosts the health of blood vessels and reduces blood pressure in middle aged patients.

24 people is hardly a study group.
ReplyDelete24 lean and healthy people? They already have a low risk of heart attack, the lowest of anyone. They didn't need a pill to be healthy. Somebody should get a failing grade for that thesis.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see who funded that research. Bet they have something to do with the nutritional supplement industry.
