Benefits
- Supports cellular energy production
- Promotes healthy aging
- Enhances cognitive function
- Improves metabolic health
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Activates sirtuins, proteins associated with longevity and cellular health
Why it works
NMN is converted in the body to NAD+, which plays a critical role in several cellular processes, including energy production, DNA repair, and gene expression. By increasing NAD+ levels, NMN may support cellular health and overall well-being.
Possible Side Effects
NMN is generally well tolerated and no significant side effects have been reported. However, it is advisable to consult with a health care professional before starting any new supplement to ensure safety and suitability.
Tips
- Choose a quality NMN product from a reputable brand to ensure purity and potency.
