Popular vitamin people take for 'anti-aging' may cause brain cancer - msnNOW

The study suggests that high levels of NR, which is often referred to as an anti-aging vitamin, could increase the risk of developing cancer in individuals.

Not only is there the possibility of increasing the risk of developing triple-negative breast cancer, but the study’s authors also suggest that it could cause that cancer to spread to the brain as well.

Obviously, the fight against cancer is already a tough one, and while we’ve seen reports of items increasing the risk of cancer in the past, it seems crazy to think that a vitamin may be one of those possible items.

Because the effects of NR are such a mystery right now, a better understanding of how the anti-aging supplement could increase the risk of cancer is vital, especially if we’re going to continue to offer these kinds of vitamin variants on the market.
