Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a Vitamin B3 derivative and a precursor of NAD+, a molecule and an essential enzyme that plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular function.  NMN has shown to be the best way to boost NAD+ as it is rapidly absorbed and converted into NAD+ in one step. 

 NAD+ productions peaks at approximately 25 years and starts to decline from there. By the age of 50, a person would have half the amount of NAD+ of someone in their 20’s leading to a range of age-related decline such as oxidative stress, cognitive impairment.

Dr David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School popularized and promoted NMN to public. Research has shown that supplementation of NMN provides a wide range of benefits. One of the benefits that can be seen within 2 weeks of supplementation is increased energy levels, stamina and endurance due to better energy production within the mitochondria.

Studies have also shown that NMN supplementation can enhance cognition and memory as it improves blood flow in the brain as well as provide neuroprotective effects, leading to better cognitive health.

According to Dr David Sinclair who views aging as a disease, he and many scientists have turned to NAD+ precursors like NMN to combat age related disease and studies have shown promising results in their potential to boost your NAD+ levels and to promote healthy lifespan and to rediscover your youth.
