One thing companies will do when selling things, is to cover their bases with respect to liability. Like - don’t use your toaster when you are in the bath…

And then there is this…

Your comments did not offend me at all, not referring to you. You have a right to your opinion and to express your experiences, and while your approach is not for me, I am glad to hear it.

Please feel free to say anything you want to me. Sorry for the misunderstanding. My fault for not specifying.

Eshel didn’t say that niacinamide doesn’t work. He said that topical NR or NMN have an advantage over topical niacinamide.

There is much more research on niacimimide in skin care that has been done over the past decade +. I’m don’t believe there is much on NR or NMN, so I think its too early to say if there are overall advantages to them.

I see. Dr. Eshel’s statement was based on what sounded like a theoretical consideration. He said something like this: “Niacinamide is recognized as a waste material of NAD usage. If there is too much in the body, it signals the body to recycle less NAD. NMN and NR don’t dampen the skin’s ability to recycle more and more NAD.” Young Goose doesn’t recommend ingesting large doses of niacinamide continuously for long periods either.
I [JamesPaul108] don’t have knowledge about this subject; I’m just reporting what Dr. Eshel said as accurately as I could, given my limited knowledge.

For red light and eyes, my major concern that if you buy some Chinese-made LED panel/mask on Amazon, do you actually trust that the power rating, energy level or other specifications?

Yes, it’s a real problem. I don’t trust their specifications.

Absolutely not. I did a tear down and some measurements of a 45W panel. some time ago.

This is a very valid concern, and perhaps even more-so with tariffs that will provide an even bigger incentive to the manufacturers to skimp on quality and testing to lower costs so they can get the product into the USA or Europe at a reasonable cost.
