What is NMN?

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a derivative of niacin, is a nucleotide that functions as a precursor to nicotinamide adeninedinucleotide (NAD+)[1]. NAD+ is a molecule that holds a variety of functions within the body, mainly through facilitation of cell-signaling enzymes called sirtuins[2]. These enzymes are crucial for normal functioning, with SIRT1 (there are 7 sirtuins) being particularly unique. Research has shown it to be highly active following caloric restriction, which itself brings multiple benefits, including signs of an extending lifespan[3]. Sure enough, further tests have revealed that elevated levels of SIRT1 can lead to protection from metabolic decline and disease[4].
