Full transcript

1. 0:00The FDA has just released a statement
2. 0:02banning any men supplements. This came
3. 0:04to my attention yesterday, November
4. 0:0610th, 2022. The article starts by saying
5. 0:09that the FDA's recently held position is
6. 0:11likely to cause disruption to the enemy
7. 0:13marketplace. The article goes on to say
8. 0:15that US regulators have determined that
9. 0:17an ingredient marketed on Amazon for
10. 0:19such health conditions such as
11. 0:20anti-aging and energy production cannot
12. 0:23be sold in dietary supplements due to
13. 0:25being investigated as a pharmaceutical
14. 0:27drug. So why is the FDA doing this now?
15. 0:30Well, they say that based on new
16. 0:31information that came to light when they
17. 0:33were reviewing another notification, the
18. 0:36FDA initiated a review of past
19. 0:38notification responses for enmen and
20. 0:41concluded that enmen is excluded from
21. 0:43the definition of a dietary supplement.
22. 0:45Now that's just an article. Let's have a
23. 0:47look at what the FDA actually said. So
24. 0:49if we go on to regulations.gov,
25. 0:51we can see exactly word for word the
26. 0:53FDA's statement. The letter is dated
27. 0:56October 11th, 2022. And when we scroll
28. 0:59down, we can see the overall conclusion.
29. 1:01Accordingly, we conclude that any men is
30. 1:03excluded from the dietary supplement
31. 1:05definition and may not be marketed as or
32. 1:08in a dietary supplement. So why has this
33. 1:10happened now? [snorts] Well, the FDA say
34. 1:12that when they initially reviewed the
35. 1:14new dietary ingredient notifications
36. 1:16relating to enemmen, enmen was not
37. 1:18clearly identified as an article that
38. 1:20was authorized for investigation, i.e.
39. 1:23MIB 626. Now, you may have heard about
40. 1:26people like Dr. Davidson CLA talking
41. 1:28about MIB 626. Once the FDA was made
42. 1:31aware of the connection between Enmen
43. 1:33and MIB626, we concluded that Enmen is
44. 1:36in fact excluded from the definition of
45. 1:39a dietary supplement. So, what is
46. 1:41MIB626?
47. 1:42Well, a company called Metro
48. 1:44International Biotech developed a
49. 1:46proprietary form of any which is called
50. 1:49MIB 626. And this company has been
51. 1:51devoted into pursuing a pharmaceutical
52. 1:53development pathway since the company's
53. 1:55inception. So who is Metrobiotech
54. 1:58International? Who is the company that's
55. 2:00lobbyed the FDA to ban any men? Well,
56. 2:03when we go onto their website, we can
57. 2:05see that Metro International Biotech was
58. 2:06co-founded and is still run by Dr.
59. 2:09Davidson Clear, PhD, Harvard professor,
60. 2:11the one who initially started the NMN
61. 2:14hype train. So what's my take on all of
62. 2:16this? Well, personally, I stopped taking
63. 2:18Enmen about 2 years ago when I got off
64. 2:20that enemy bandwagon and had a proper
65. 2:23look at the research. Since then, we've
66. 2:25had multiple human studies showing that
67. 2:27enimemen when used at dosages between
68. 2:29500 and 1,000 mg, it appears to be safe
69. 2:32over a 3-month period. So, because of
70. 2:34that safety data, if people elect to
71. 2:36take anymen, I think they should be
72. 2:38allowed to buy anymen. After all, enem
73. 2:41is just a type of vitamin B3, and people
74. 2:44can buy vitamin C supplements over the
75. 2:46counter. So, should it not be the same
76. 2:48for any men? And looking at the saga, to
77. 2:50me, it seems like history is repeating
78. 2:52itself. David Sinclair created a
79. 2:53truckload of hype around rveratrol,
80. 2:56developed a proprietary blend of
81. 2:57rveratrol, and then sold that research
82. 2:59to the highest bidder, which
83. 3:01subsequently was found to be worthless,
84. 3:03and that investment was written off. It
85. 3:05seems like the exact same thing is
86. 3:06happening here with NN. Overall, my
87. 3:09advice is to focus on a great diet,
88. 3:11regular exercise, and highquality sleep.
89. 3:14There are a couple of supplements such
90. 3:15as creatine that can be a useful
91. 3:17addition, but they should not replace,
92. 3:19again, diet, exercise, and sleep. Do
93. 3:21what you can to avoid hype and make sure
94. 3:23to stay safe. A massive thank you to do
