Recently, Samantha Ruth Prabhu advertised a supplement brand on Instagram, touting its product's NMN content, which she said helps raise NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels. Nevertheless, Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, also known as The Liver Doc, attacked her statements on Instagram, calling her a "science illiterate movie star" and the corporation a "fraud."

What did Samantha state?

'NAD+ declines with age, leading to lower energy, slower recovery, and reduced focus,' said Samantha in her advertisement for the supplement. NMN aids in reversing this, she continued, and the product she endorsed contains "over 99% pure" NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide). Take a look at this.

Samantha is criticized by the Liver Doc for spreading lies.

The Liver Doc posted a screenshot of Samantha's post and wrote, "How science illiterate movie stars deceive their millions of fans by promoting supplements that don't work at all." "Beware of snake oil salesmen, or snake oil saleswomen," he said. They are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Be a well-informed consumer. Use evidence and science to advance. Pay attention to actual physicians.

The Liver Doc claims that NAD is a coenzyme that is essential for metabolism and that NMN is a supplement that is supposed to replenish NAD and enhance health. Many have promoted NMN as the next revolutionary anti-aging pill, but the statistics tell a different story, he said.

“There is no evidence that it is properly absorbed and gets to organs as asserted. Generally speaking, cells cannot absorb NMN. The majority of orally ingested NMN is actually transformed into simple nicotinamide before any beneficial effects can occur. The Liver Doc stated that any increase in blood NAD+ is little and transient, and that there is no data to support the idea that the chemical reaches important tissues in sufficient amounts in humans.

Furthermore, he published numerous studies supporting his argument, stating that human trials on NMN have been "short, small, and stuffed with useless indirect end points and nothing of clinical significance."

What was the response from the internet?

Samantha was criticized online for pushing supplements that are just a costly approach to do nothing. “NMN is one of the most overhyped supplements, absolute garbage,” said one Instagram user. "Victim post loading in 3..2.." said another.

"We Indians need to be better at recognizing bullshit and stop basing our health choices on what our favorite influencer/actor/(never read a actual reserch) is saying/selling," one remark stated.
