The Importance of NAD+
NAD+ is arguably the most important molecule in the body, as you would die within seconds without it. It is crucial for the survival of all living things and is responsible for a number of physiological processes, including, but not limited to: glycolysis, DNA repair, energy metabolism, sirtuin activation, mitochondrial function, etc.
Whats is NMN?
NMN occurs naturally in the body and is a Vitamin B3 (niacin) derivative, it can also be obtained from dietary sources such as fruits, milk, and vegetables.
NMN generates Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), an extremely powerful and critical molecule that is found within every cell of the Human Body and is vital to a healthy long life.
How NMN Works?
In a study published in the journal Cell, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has been studied by researchers for its benefits and effects on mice. Results show that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) essentially reactivated faltering blood flow in aging mice as it deprives tissues and organs including the brain, of the essential nutrients and oxygen. The mice given nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) increased their treadmill run time by 60% compared to animals that didn’t get the molecule, and they doubled their exercise endurance — to levels that matched or even exceeded that of younger mice.
So, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has shown very good anti-aging effects and benefits on mice, will it work in human body?
To find out answer for this question, The first human clinical study (Phase 1) for nicotinamide mononucleotide NMN has started in Japan in 2016. Professor Hiroshi Itoh and his team in Keio are leading the study, and Professor Shin-ichiro Imai is also involved. It is a international collaborative team between Keio University Keio University School of Medicine in Tokyo and Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.
In 2018, another study of NMN has been published by Cell showing that “Treatment of mice with NAD precursor – nicotinamide mononucleotide improves vascular and increases endurance in ageing mice” which gives NMN more support on NMN’s anti-aging benefits.
How To Take?
We recommend taking your NMN+ 2 capsules with your first meal, containing moderate, healthy fats, or as advised by your healthcare practitioner.
