NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)

Alternate Names: Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, NAD+ Precursor

Chart of Uses:

Use Description Index
Anti-Aging Supports cellular repair and reduces signs of aging by boosting NAD+ levels
Cellular Energy Production Enhances mitochondrial function and energy production
Metabolic Health Improves metabolism and may help regulate blood sugar levels
Cognitive Function Supports brain health and cognitive function, potentially improving memory and focus
Heart Health May help protect cardiovascular health by improving mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress

Warnings:

  1. Blood Pressure: NMN may lower blood pressure; consult with a healthcare provider if on blood pressure medication.
  2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: There is limited research on the safety of NMN during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult a healthcare provider before use.
  3. Drug Interactions: Potential interactions with medications that influence NAD+ pathways, such as chemotherapy drugs, should be monitored.

Active Compounds:

  1. Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN): A precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and maintaining cellular health.
  2. NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): The active form of NMN, critical for mitochondrial function, cellular repair, and regulating oxidative stress.
  3. Polyphenols: Present in some NMN supplements (e.g., from grape skin), which enhance NAD+ production and provide antioxidant benefits.
