Description

NMN is a potent nucleotide derived from niacin that plays a crucial role in the production of
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), vital for cellular energy and metabolism. It is highly
bioavailable and efficiently absorbed in the small intestine. Research indicates that NMN can
enhance NAD+ levels quickly, within minutes of intake. Studies suggest that NMN may provide
neuroprotective and anti-aging benefits by supporting mitochondrial function, boosting
antioxidant activity, and facilitating various cellular processes
NMN, short for nicotinamide mononucleotide, is a nucleotide derivative of niacin and is
used by several enzymes in the body to generate or replenish stores of nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (NAD+/NADPH). NMN is absorbed in the small intestine and is highly orally
bioavailable, making it easy to utilize. Research in mice indicates that NMN is full absorbed in
the small intestine via a specific transmitter. This takes place within 10 minutes of
consumption[1] Nicotinamide is known to cross the blood-brain barrier into the central
nervous system where it is converted to NAD+, thus increasing cellular NAD+ levels in the
brain.
Because NAD+ is a cofactor for processes that take place inside of mitochondria, it has long
been studied as a neuroprotective and anti-aging agent In fact, research indicates that aging
at the cellular level can be reversed by inhibiting mitochondrial decay and that this decay is, at
least in part, a consequence of diminishing levels of NAD+ that occur as a result of aging The
benefits of NMN itself have primarily been demonstrated through in vitro or animal studies[3].
These studies indicate that NMN like benefits a variety of cellular processes by fighting the
effects of aging, boosting antioxidant activity, protecting neurological function, and regulating
certain metabolic processes.
