The relationship between NMN and NAD+

 

NMN is a ribonucleotide, the basic structural unit that constitutes the genetic material RNA. It is composed of nicotinamide group, ribose and phosphate group. NMN is converted into NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) in cells to play its role.

NAD is not only the core of energy metabolism in the human body, but also serves as a key signaling molecule and a coenzyme for various enzymes (more than 300 enzymes rely on NAD+ to work), participating in DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, cell aging and strengthening immunity. system.

In addition, NAD can also activate the "longevity protein" Sirtuins and regulate their gene expression, thereby reducing the occurrence of diseases and delaying aging.

Although NAD+ is present in some foods, due to its low content, diet alone cannot affect intracellular NAD+ levels. Taking NMN supplements has been proven to be a direct and effective way to increase NAD+ levels.

NMN can be directly converted into NAD+ in the body and is more easily absorbed and utilized by cells. Therefore, NMN supplements have become the first choice for increasing NAD+ levels in the body.

In animal studies, NAD+ supplements (NMN) have significant effects on improving metabolism and age-related diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and reduced immune function) by increasing NAD+ levels in the body, and have demonstrated inhibitory effects Characteristics of aging.
