I take levothyroxine (T4) and metformin. Can I take NAD+ and resveratrol?

Answered by Doctor Florian A. Vallecillo Cabrera · Miguel

Hello, Miguel: In general terms, there are no known significant interactions between levothyroxine, metformin, NAD+ or resveratrol. However, this does not mean that these supplements are suitable for everyone. Levothyroxine should always be taken on an empty stomach, with water only, and it is advisable to wait at least 30-60 minutes before eating breakfast or taking any other medication or supplement so as not to reduce its absorption. As for NAD+ and resveratrol, although there is growing interest in their possible role in healthy ageing and cellular metabolism, the scientific evidence in humans is still limited and does not justify their universal use. If you decide to use them, my recommendation is to do so under medical supervision, especially if you have other conditions or take more medication. In addition, if you are on levothyroxine, it is advisable to have periodic thyroid function checks to confirm that the treatment remains effective. I hope this resolves your question. Kind regards.

Anti-obesity treatments: the most effective have the most side effectsA meta-analysis of more than 200 studies, published in the BMJ and reported by Sciences et Avenir/AFP, shows that the most effective GLP-1 anti-obesity treatments are also those that cause the most adverse effects. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and CagriSema allow weight loss of around 15%, versus ~10% for semaglutide alone (Wegovy). Semaglutide and tirzepatide reduce cardiovascular risks. None has demonstrated an overall improvement in quality of life; the hindsight remains limited. A major challenge for health authorities (recent reimbursement of Wegovy and Mounjaro in France, under strict criteria).Read Running: why insufficient sleep could increase the risk of injuryA 2025 study (Applied Sciences) profiled the sleep of 425 recreational runners and identified four profiles. The "poor sleepers" (short sleep + poor quality + disturbances, ~37%) had an injury probability close to 68%, well above regular sleepers. Observational, cross-sectional study: it shows an association, not causation. Sleep affects muscle recovery, alertness, perception of effort and pain. It remains one factor among others (load, energy, strength, technique). Key message: when sleep deteriorates durably, the body tolerates load less well.Read Losing weight after 40: why is it harder and which strategies really work?After the age of 40, losing weight often becomes harder: loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), hormonal changes (menopause, declining testosterone), disrupted sleep and chronic stress alter the energy balance. Basal metabolism falls only slightly before 60. Effective strategies rely on adequate protein intake (1.2–1.6 g/kg/day), strength training (2–3 sessions/week), at least 150 min of moderate activity, sleep optimisation and management of medical factors.

Everything about skin ageing: why we age and how to keep healthy skin for longerSkin ageing is a natural process influenced by genetics and, above all, by external factors such as the sun, tobacco and lifestyle.
