Nmn

Sources:

NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a supplement taken as a precursor to NAD+, with the aim of increasing NAD+ levels. Whether that leads to meaningful health-span or longevity benefits remains uncertain.

  • NAD+ and aging: NAD+ is involved in cellular energy production and supports sirtuin pathways linked to cellular repair; levels decline with age.
  • Reported doses and use: Mark Hyman said he takes 1,000 mg of NMN daily. Andrew Huberman described taking NMN as a sublingual powder.
  • NMN and NR evidence: NMN and NR can raise NAD+ levels, but increased levels have not been shown to produce established benefits for human health span or lifespan.
  • Lifestyle factors: Exercise and fasting were described as ways to support pathways involved in NAD-related cellular processes.
