What is Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)?
Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a nucleotide derived from ribose and nicotinamide. Like nicotinamide riboside (NR), NMN is a derivative of niacin, and humans have enzymes that can use NMN to generate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme or helper molecule. NAD+ is a crucial component of the basic biological processes that make life possible, such as converting nutrients into energy at the cellular level and working as a helper molecule for proteins that control other biological activities. Maintaining and supporting these processes is extremely important to human life because they are responsible for efficient cellular metabolism, reducing oxidative stress, and maintaining the healthy propagation of DNA to keep humans healthy longer. NAD+ levels in the human body naturally decrease with age, possibly causing premature cellular damage and negatively affecting metabolic health. Fortunately, NMN supplementation has been shown to be effective at raising the levels of NAD+ in the human body.
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) Benefits and Uses
Studies have shown that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplementation may have the following benefits:
- Supports neurons against oxidative stress and impaired mitochondrial function
- Promotes longevity and eases the effects of aging
- Supports against age-related stiffness of blood vessels
- Promotes healthy muscle aging
- Helps to overcome jet lag
Additional Information on Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a nucleotide derived from ribose and nicotinamide. Like nicotinamide riboside, NMN is a derivative of niacin, and humans have enzymes that can use NMN to generate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NMN can be readily found in low amounts in a wide variety of foods, such as fruit, vegetables, and meat, but it is only recently that its potential has been investigated in animal models. While nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) both act as precursors to NAD+, they enter cells through different metabolic pathways. Our NMN is formulated as a sublingual powder to most efficiently take advantage of NMN’s particular metabolic pathway.
