NMN, or Nicotinamide mononucleotide, is the precursor to NAD+. NAD+ is a critical cofactor in a wide range of important cellular reactions, such as DNA repair, turning food into energy, and regulating circadian rhythms. It also helps with stress response, memory, and longevity. Without NAD, our cells would die within seconds.

Can NMN damage kidneys?

During the aging process, NAD levels decrease. This decrease prevents redox enzymes from functioning normally. NMN supplements are thought to help mitigate age-associated physiological declines by increasing NAD levels. It is also believed to promote DNA repair and to increase the activity of sirtuins, which are enzymes that support longevity.

Many NMN products are available as either pure nmn powder or capsules. Capsules offer convenience and are typically easier to swallow than powders. However, they may not deliver the same bioavailability as pure nmn powder. Regardless of the type of NMN supplement, it is important to take the product on an empty stomach. Doing so increases absorption and doubles the amount of NAD that is absorbed.

A good quality NMN powder should contain 99+% b-nicotinamide mononucleotide and be third-party tested. The product should not contain any fillers or artificial flavors/colors. It should be produced in the USA and made with high-quality ingredients. It should also be free from GMOs, fish, dairy, gluten, wheat, egg, and other allergens.

NMN supplementation has been shown to be safe in human clinical trials. However, it is always best to consult with a physician before starting any new dietary supplement.
