Supplements matching "NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)"

  • NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)

    NMN is a naturally occurring compound that serves as a precursor to NAD+, a crucial molecule for cellular energy production and DNA repair. Research suggests it may support healthy aging by improving muscle function, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular health. While promising, human clinical trials are still limited and more research is needed to confirm long-term benefits.

    Typical Dosage

    250-500mg daily (based on clinical studies showing safety up to 500mg single dose)

    When to Take

    Take with food, preferably with fatty foods if combining with other supplements like resveratrol

    Why for 50+

    As we age, our natural NAD+ levels decline significantly, which can impact cellular energy production and DNA repair mechanisms. Adults over 50 may particularly benefit from NMN supplementation as clinical studies have shown improvements in muscle strength, walking distance, and insulin sensitivity in middle-aged and older adults. The age-related decline in NAD+ makes supplementation potentially more beneficial for this population than younger individuals.

    Potential Interactions

    • Blood pressure medications (may enhance hypotensive effects)
    • Diabetes medications (may affect blood sugar levels due to insulin sensitivity improvements)
    • Anticoagulants and blood thinners (theoretical interaction due to cardiovascular effects)
    • Cholesterol-lowering medications (may interact with lipid metabolism pathways)
    • Generally well-tolerated with minimal documented interactions in current studies
