Well she says this person is a nurse. So this person most likely introduced themselves as a nurse. So they are claiming they are a nurse until it's proven true, right?

- acatton 4y agoI'm not well verse in the US medical system. But in Germany, I get my injections from my doctor for which I can look up their license online. If I were to take supplements, which I don't, since I consider it to be pseudo-science[1][2], I would get them from my local drug store which has the german equivalent of a FDA license and regular audits.

- nradov 4y agoThere are a zillion different substances classified as supplements. It's reductionist and intellectually dishonest to lump them all together. Some are effectively just placebos, or even harmful in high doses. Others appear to have beneficial effects. In many cases those effects are subtle, and might only be noticeable to people who push their bodies to the limit. Unfortunately, this is almost impossible to study through high-quality randomized controlled trials given the numerous confounding factors. Let's look at it empirically. Among elite athletes, how many take zero supplements? I can't prove that they're getting any benefit but the correlation between performance and the use of certain supplements is so strong that I suspect there's something real going on. (And by supplements I mean real supplements, not PEDS which are an entirely separate category.)
- darawk 4y agoPeople get B12 injections from nurses all the time. It's extremely common in the US. NAD+ is probably less common, but it's not the nurse's credibility that's recommending the substance. The nurse is just there to inject it safely, something any nurse should be perfectly qualified to do.
- kube-system 4y agoMany injections given in the US are administered by people way less qualified than a nurse. A CMA can do quite a lot after just a one-year certificate program.
- philwelch 4y agoThere is a certain type of person who follows all the rules and regulations to the letter, implicitly trusts the authorities, and has an undisguised attitude of scorn towards anyone who does not live and act the same way. I think the relative prevalence of this attitude is a long-standing cultural difference between Germany and the US.
- bad416f1f5a2 4y agoGo to any gym with a focus on weightlifting (ie: not a Planet Fitness). Lift weights. Strike up a conversation with other people who lift weights. Soon a new world of injections and supplements will be yours if you want it.
