NMN
Nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN for short, is a derivative of Vitamin B3. In the body, it is a precursor to NAD. If you’re unsure what NAD is, see above. Taking NMN as a supplement is safe, and it raises your NAD levels.
NMN reverses vascular ageing, stimulates blood vessel growth and boosts stamina and endurance. NMN reduces the physical and neurological decline associated with ageing.
NMN has many other possible benefits when it comes to health including:
- Improving longevity.
- Reducing the effects of diabetes.
- Reversing the effects of liver conditions.
- Improving brain health.
- Improving heart health.
- Aiding in exercise training
- Improving sleep quality
Studies have suggested that NMN and NAD levels may be reduced in patients with a variety of age-related ailments, such as diabetes and liver disorders.
Animal and test-tube research also suggest that NMN may be involved in other facets of ageing, such as heart and brain function.
