Is this the same NAD+ that’s prescribed by longevity / hormone clinics?

Edit: after some googling, sounds like NAD+ (which you can get from real doctors) is the “building blocks” similar to how protein is the building blocks for muscle, while the experimental compound changes/enhances how the building blocks are used inside your cells.

So you might need some NAD+ precursor like NMN and this compound for it to work in humans because by the time you’re old it’s much harder for your body to make. Was the experiment done in older mice or younger ones that have NAD+ but artificial Alzheimer’s ?
