Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, also known as NMN (beta-Nicotinamide mononucleotide or β-NMN) is an entirely natural compound found in our bodies that has been scientifically synthesized and found to be a powerful antiaging supplement. Scientifically speaking, it is a nucleotide that has been derived from ribose and nicotinamide. Its chemical formula is C11H15N2O8P and it is a vitamin B3 Metabolite. Besides the human body, it is also found in food items such as cabbage or broccoli in traces.
It is a ribonucleotide (nucleic acid RNA’s basic structural unit) on a molecular level, with its structural molecular composition comprising:
Nicotinamide group
Ribose
Phosphate group
In 2013, a breakthrough study conducted on mice by scientists at Harvard University revealed it to be a powerful anti-aging compound and emphasized its importance for human consumption. In 2015, it was synthesized by scientists but the process for its manufacturing was very costly. It wasn’t until around 2018 that it was refined sufficiently and production costs were reduced enough for it to be ready for mass production.
How Does NMN Work?
NMN is the direct precursor of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD+ and plays a vital role to increase the amount of NAD+ in human cells. NAD+ is an essential coenzyme (coenzymes are catalysts needed by enzymes to complete their biochemical reactions) that is essential for a number of cellular functions. NAD+ happens to be the 2nd most abundant molecule in the human body with water being the first; without NAD+, it is present in all organisms and an important benefactor for life.
NAD+ is an oxidized form of NAD and was first discovered in 1906. Supplements containing NAD+ can’t help to boost the level of NAD+ in the human body because of the large size of the molecule that prevents it from crossing the cell membrane to enter cells. This is why NMN needs to be consumed in order to boost the production of NAD+ molecule that is not only good for mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) but also for a number of proteins throughout the body such as Sirtuins that help to repair DNA that has been damaged by aging. Additionally, it has also been shown to reverse the adverse effects of age-related diseases in lab trials conducted on animals; this includes:
Fighting against metabolic disorders
Regulating and improving heart functions
Reducing Neurodegeneration
Strengthening immune system
Preventing age-related diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, cataracts, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.
Health expert Rhonda Patrick explains what NAD+ is, why it is so important for aging and why it declines with age. She discusses the NAD+ boosters like nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide.
Dosage and Guidelines:
Initial Precaution:
NMN represents one of the final steps of NAD+ synthesis besides all the other precursors that play their part in its production, hence its importance for the production of NAD+ is undeniably more significant. In terms of dosage, it is advised to all the individuals taking it for the first time to start with a low dose and take the first dose to determine whether the product suits them or if their body reacting against it (it is highly unlikely and no such cases have been recorded).
The first dose should not exceed more than 50-60 mg and taken as per the directions indicated on the packaging. The subject should monitor themselves carefully and remain responsive towards any possible adverse side-effects or reactions. It is most likely that there won’t be any reaction/s, in which, case, the subject can proceed with regular dosage from the following day.
Directions for Regular Use:
The most preferred administration for NMN is ‘Sublingual Administration’ where the subject should place their daily dose under their tongue and allow it to dissolve and be absorbed. To increase the effectiveness, it is advised to divide the daily dose into smaller portions that the subject should consume throughout the day.
Alternatively, the daily recommended dose can be mixed in 100ml water and drunk. The water-mixed dose may also be sprinkled onto food and consumed (this method may lower the bio-availability of NMN).
Note:
The best method for the administration of NMN is still debated upon as some studies suggest that the oral consumption of NMN blocks or limits its delivery to tissues by the liver. On the other hand, several studies suggest the existence of a transporter gene in the small intestine from where it is carried away to cells.
The advantage of sublingual administration over forms of consumption is that it allows for direct absorption of NMN into the blood and bypasses the digestive tract, hence resulting in a much more efficient rate of absorption.
Recommended Daily Dosage:
O.5 grams per day.
Upped Dosage (Depending upon the age and other factors):
1 gram per day.
Suggestion:
We suggest our valued clients take periodic breaks from NMN (one to two days off) on a weekly basis. though there is no evidence to suggest whether this practice is beneficial or not, it has been observed that periodic breaks can help the body to respond positively to such treatments.
Note:
If you are on prescribed medication or have been medicating for a long term previously, then it is best to consult with your doctor before starting with NMN.
Keep the contents in the provided packaging or an airtight glass jar. Keep away from sunlight and avoid exposure to a temperature above 24 degrees Celsius. Keep in a cool dry place and don’t expose the contents to moisture. This product can be kept in a fridge or refrigerator.
