Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)
ANTI-AGEING EFFECTS
Scientific studies on NMN have observed several anti-ageing effects in both humans and animals. These effects include the potential to reverse DNA damage and improve age-related health issues related to the brain, blood vessels, and energy metabolism. This can promote overall well-being and slow down the ageing process.Studies on humans have found that taking NMN supplements is associated with positive effects on general health, including improvements in physical endurance, energy levels, and markers of ageing such as insulin resistance.
A NATURALLY OCCURRING MOLECULE IN FRUIT & VEGETABLES
NMN is a molecule called a nucleotide that is naturally found in the human body. It is also found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables such as avocados, broccoli and cabbage.
NAD+ BOOST
When NMN is taken as a supplement, it is absorbed by the body and converted into NAD+, a coenzyme involved in important cellular processes.
This boost in NAD+ levels can potentially support anti-ageing mechanisms, such as DNA repair and energy production, which may contribute to maintaining youthfulness and overall well-being.
How NMN works in the body
When you consume NMN, it gets absorbed in your digestive system and converts into NAD+, which is an important molecule in your body.
NAD+ binds to special proteins called sirtuins. This triggers a chemical reaction that activates the enzymatic activity of sirtuins. This activation enables sirtuins to carry out important tasks such as DNA repair and energy production, contributing to the overall health and functioning of your cells and body.
Processes and proteins in our body that depend on NAD+, like sirtuins, may play a role in reducing or reversing the effects of aging on our skin, brain, eyes, and cardiovascular system.
How to use
-
One Capsule Per Day
Take one 500mg capsule daily, ideally in the morning.
-
With or Without Food
NMN can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. However, the impact of food on supplement absorption is often unpredictable as different compounds within food can interact with the supplement in different ways.
On the other hand, taking NMN with food will slow absorption, which can be beneficial if you want the effects to kick in slower or if you experience nausea when taking the supplement on an empty stomach.
"NMN has the potential to improve energy metabolism, enhance DNA repair, and promote overall wellness."
NMN can potentially help to reverse many undesirable effects associated with ageing by increasing NAD+ levels
NAD+ levels can decrease naturally by at least 50% during adulthood. Ageing, poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyles worsen NAD+ levels.NAD+ is essential to many cellular functions such as DNA repair and energy production.
How to increase low NAD+ levels
- NMN supplements
- Adequate sleep
- Wholesome diet
- Exercise
Effects of low NAD+ levels
- Accelerated ageing
- DNA damage
- Increased risk of chronic heart disease, vision loss and cognitive decline
- Possible worsening of wrinkles (the bond between the epidermis and dermis can weaken)
- UV sensitivity
- Lower energy
Your NAD+ levels naturally drop as you age
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why not just take an NAD+ supplement rather than NMN to increase NAD+ levels?
On the surface, it may seem more logical to simply take an NAD+ supplement. However, NAD+ cannot readily cross cell membranes to enter cells. Precursor molecules like NMN are more bioavailable, meaning they can be absorbed easier and are more effective at increasing NAD+ levels than simply taking an NAD+ supplement.
-
Are there any side effects?
Clinical trials have shown no adverse side effects at 500 mg/day. We go through great trouble and research to ensure our dosages are as safe and effective as possible. Do not exceed 1200 mg/day.

What is NMN?
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide. It is a naturally occurring molecule in the body called a nucleotide. NMN is a precursor to NAD+, one of the most important coenzymes in the body.

What is NAD+?
NAD+ is one of the most important coenzymes in the body. It is essential to many cellular functions such as DNA repair and energy production.
