About Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a naturally occurring nucleotide and a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital coenzyme in all living cells. NMN supplementation is purported to increase NAD+ levels, potentially leading to benefits such as improved energy metabolism, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and anti-aging effects. While research is ongoing, preliminary studies, particularly in animal models, show promising results. Human trials are underway to further validate these potential benefits and determine the long-term safety of NMN supplementation. Side effects appear to be mild and infrequent at commonly used dosages.
