NMN (Nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a nucleotide precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). Why is this important to you? To understand the power of this anti-aging supplement let’s first begin with NAD+ and how it functions in our body.
NAD+ is a metabolic molecule that proteins in our body need to function correctly. As we age, our levels of NAD+ decrease. A decrease in NAD+ leads to energy reduction, increased levels of oxidative stress, increased levels of DNA damage, cognitive impairment, and increase in inflammatory conditions. Thus, NAD+ is fundamental in the aging process and may be one of the most preventative measures you can take to maintain your health and prevent aging from the inside out.
NMN is the precursor to NAD+, meaning that our bodies turn NMN into NAD+ through a series of chemical processes. NMN works to increase blood flow on a cellular level. As we all know, blood flow is necessary to oxygenate the cells in our body. When our cells are oxygen deprived, they begin to divide, and diseases start to form. NMN has been known to protect against heart disease as well as increase metabolism and strength. Additionally, because of its ability to restore mitochondrial function, it might present the potential to lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
In a 2020 study, Cell Reports, found that NMN supplementation restores NAD+ levels in maternally aged oocytes in mice. What does this mean? NMN provides a potential strategy to improve the reproductive outcome of women of advanced maternal age.
Christopher Shade, Ph. D. notes in a 2020 published journal “NMN is clearly a murine fountain of youth. But what about humans? Shin-ichiro Imai has said that NMN may improve adult human metabolism, rendering it more like that of someone ten or twenty years younger. His team is now studying NMN in humans. David Sinclair, Harvard University’s noted anti-aging researcher, whose research on resveratrol, NAD+ and sirtuins is world renowned, is also conducting human trials. He is taking NMN himself; he has said his lipid profile has improved dramatically and he feels more energetic and that his blood markers, at nearly 60 years old, are closer to those of a 31-year-old.”
