NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a derivative of the B-vitamin niacin that improves health and longevity by serving as a direct precursor to NAD+, a compound that plays a crucial role in metabolism, energy production and gene expression in the body.
As a direct precursor to NAD+, whilst the body can produce its own NAD+, we do not have an endless supply and it declines as we age. Further accelerated by external environmental factors; oxidative stress, glycation, lifestyle choices like physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, smoking and drinking, we become more susceptible to the adverse effects of premature ageing and other age-related concerns. NAD+ does not provide direct benefits to any specific part of our body, but it helps our cells function better as a whole.
One proven way to effectively increase NAD+ levels is by consuming NMN.
