NMN

Description

NMN, or β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide for the more scientifically inclined amongst you, is a molecule found in all living things, with trace amounts of it being found in food such as broccoli, avocado, edamame and cabbage. In the past few years, NMN has been greatly researched as a promising new cure to ageing, by extending our lifespan and achieving longevity. If that’s not enough, NMN has also reported the following benefits:

• Improved muscle endurance and strength

• Cognitive support

• Boosts energy and metabolism

• Promotes heart health

• Offers neuroprotection

So how does NMN work?

NMN is a precursor of NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) – an essential molecule that is responsible for all our cellular functions. Our body needs NAD+, because if our cells don’t function, neither do we. A group of signalling proteins, called Sirtuins (SIRT1-7) have been shown to use NAD+ to carry out its functions, which include:

• repairing DNA damage (the cause of ageing)

• protection from ageing diseases

• controlling the expression of anti-ageing genes.

But, as we age, our NAD+ levels start to decline, causing the ageing process to accelerate. Before we know it, the grey hairs dominate, the wrinkles deepen and chasing youth seems like a lost battle. But with science advancing and new discoveries being made in the field of longevity every day, we are one step closer to reaching that 1,000 year mark.

You might ask, why NMN and not NAD+? NMN is a much smaller and less complex molecule, compared to NAD+, and therefore, it can be taken up by cells much more easily – once in the cell, NMN rapidly converts to NAD+. Maintaining high NAD+ levels and over-expressing our Sirtuins is the key to staying younger, healthier and stronger.
