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:
- Blood Pressure: NMN may lower blood pressure; consult with a healthcare provider if on blood pressure medication.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: There is limited research on the safety of NMN during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult a healthcare provider before use.
- Drug Interactions: Potential interactions with medications that influence NAD+ pathways, such as chemotherapy drugs, should be monitored.
Active Compounds:
- Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN): A precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and maintaining cellular health.
- NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): The active form of NMN, critical for mitochondrial function, cellular repair, and regulating oxidative stress.
- Polyphenols: Present in some NMN supplements (e.g., from grape skin), which enhance NAD+ production and provide antioxidant benefits.
