Expert Insights from Dr. Aimee’s Reddit AMA
Fertility doctor and partner, Dr. Aimee, widely known as The Egg Whisperer, recently shared her expertise in fertility, egg quality, and NAD+ supplementation through an engaging Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit. Over the course of a week, she answered some of the most pressing questions about reproductive health, providing science-backed insights and actionable guidance. To explore the full discussion and Dr. Aimee's detailed responses, head to the AMA on Reddit.
At Tru Niagen, we believe that when it comes to your health, you don’t guess—you choose what works. That’s why we’re sharing some of the top takeaways from Dr. Aimee’s AMA to help you make informed decisions about fertility and cellular health.
Top 3 Questions from Dr. Aimee’s Reddit AMA
Q: Hi Dr. Aimee, can I take Tru Niagen while pregnant?
Dr. Aimee’s Answer:
“I always recommend discussing any supplements with your doctor to ensure they align with your specific pregnancy needs. That said, here’s what I share with my own patients:
I advise them to continue taking Tru Niagen until approximately 7 weeks of pregnancy. This recommendation is based on two animal studies and one human study suggesting it may help prevent birth defects.
Some of my patients choose to take it throughout their entire pregnancy, and I fully support them in that decision.”
Q: Hi Dr. Aimee, what do you think about studies showing that a lower dose of NR led to greater fertility than a high dose?
Dr. Aimee’s Answer:
“I think even 150-300 mg [of NR] would be beneficial for supporting egg quality. However, over the past year, I’ve been advising patients to slowly increase their dose to 1000 mg daily.”
Key takeaway: NR supplementation may be helpful for fertility at a range of doses, but increasing intake gradually may optimize benefits.
Q: Hi Dr. Aimee, would you recommend NAD precursors like NMN for improving egg quality in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR)?
Dr. Aimee’s Answer:
“Glad you asked! NR is the most efficient and effective NAD+ precursor, not NMN. This is because NR can cross into the cell directly, whereas NMN cannot.”
Key takeaway: When it comes to NAD+ support for reproductive health, NR is the superior choice for bioavailability and effectiveness.
Why NAD+ Matters for Reproductive Health
NAD+ is essential for life; it’s the coenzyme that:
-
Fuels energy production at the cellular level
-
Supports DNA repair to maintain cell health
-
Helps combat oxidative stress, which can impact egg quality and ovarian function
However, NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which may affect fertility, egg quality, and overall reproductive longevity. NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), the most efficient NAD+ precursor, helps restore what time takes away—supporting long-term fertility and cellular health.
Dr. Aimee’s AMA was a powerful reminder that fertility is about more than just numbers—it’s about long-term health, longevity, and making informed choices for your future.
