NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide)

NMN is a derivative of niacin and an intermediate of NAD+ biosynthesis. It plays a role in the biosynthesis of NAD+, a coenzyme in cellular metabolism, and is purported to have potential anti-aging benefits.

Category
Vitamin B derivative
Molecular Formula
C11H15N2O8P
Mechanism of Action
NMN is used by the body to produce NAD+, a coenzyme that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and maintaining proper cell functioning. It boosts the levels of NAD+ in the body, thereby enhancing cellular metabolism and promoting healthy aging.

“NR can cross the cell membrane directly very easily there's no obstacle to NR getting into cells okay and NMN cannot because of that extra phosphate group.”

“Sublingual NMN is also a bit of a laxative so there all these and I say that you know somewhat chuckling but you know some people say it makes them feel better well is that because you're you know evacuating your bowels a few minutes or hours later and then you feel less bloated and you have more energy.”

“I take nmn nicotinamide mononucleotide and um I was my clip appeared in some other longevity podcast where I went on a longevity rent on one of my other videos and this longevity expert dude who seemed like a sharp guy knew what he's talking about he kind of clowned me on the nmn thing so I took another look through the literature and uh turns out actually there is some very decent data for nmn having some uh longevity effects and actual mechanistic effects as well”
