Why it matters for body composition: Tesofensine not only reduces caloric intake by controlling hunger but also ramps up basal metabolic rate , making it easier to burn fat while preserving lean muscle, especially when combined with a structured strength training plan
Reasons for increased needs in athletes: stress related to physical demands (Yes, training is stress on the body!) biological adaptations increased turnover (athletes use more vitamins) genetics reduced absorption Early detection of deficiency can be difficult to recognize because symptoms overlap with many other conditions and are normalized in athletes
Additionally, B12 deficiency can lead to developmental delays and anemia in offspring of deficient mothers
Any weight change is likely due to other factors
NAD+ works best when supported by co-factors like Vitamin B12 and Methyl-Folate
