NMN

NMN is a naturally occurring molecule that is found in all lifeforms. NMN is present in small quantities in foods, but in such small quantities that it is not possible to get an efficacious quantity from diet alone. Research shows that orally consumed NMN enters the blood stream quickly (in minutes) and is quickly converted to NAD+ in the tissues.

NMN is a direct precursor of the molecule NAD+, which plays several important roles:

→ Important molecule for many biological processes

NAD+ is a compound used by many proteins in the body. It is the most abundant molecule in the body after water, but it declines with age naturally. As the body ages, NAD+ levels decline, which in animal and laboratory cell models has been correlated with an array of age related changes.

→ Supports energy production

NAD+ is important for mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cell and generate the chemical energy that our bodies use. NAD+ binds to enzymes and transfers electrons between molecules. In the process NAD+ is involved in the cycles that power your cells via the mitochondria.

→ Supports normal maintenance in cells

Your cells have inbuilt mechanisms to repair the damage that can happen to cells naturally every day, and these mechanisms use NAD+. NAD+ supports your body’s inbuilt DNA repair mechanisms.
