If you’re familiar with NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) you may already know that this naturally occurring compound in the body plays a crucial role in energy production and DNA repair. NMN is a precursor to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), an essential coenzyme that helps regulate cellular metabolism and communication. In other words, it’s the key to cellular energy. As we age, however, our NAD levels naturally decline, which can trigger cascading effects in terms of health issues and accelerated aging. By the time we reach 50, our NAD levels are approximately half of what they were at the age of 20, with this decline starting as early as our 30s. Enter NMN supplements, which are designed to increase NAD levels and have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their potential benefits for both longevity and anti-aging.
