Why TOO MUCH NMN or NR is bad, and what you can do about it

If not protected, NMN and NR supplements are almost entirely degraded to NAM (Nicotinamide) before reaching tissues beyond the liver. While NAM is beneficial for many health conditions, excessive NAM levels can be detrimental to your health. “high [...]

NAD⁺ Injection Restores NAD⁺ Levels in Brain and Cognition in Mice

In a recent study, 18 male APP/PS1 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 30 mg/kg NAD⁺ at 20 weeks of age and once every other day for 4 weeks. These transgenic mice were used as they develop the behavioral [...]

NMN product shows increased endurance and new blood vessel growth in mice

This new research, published March 22 in Cell, identifies the key cellular mechanisms behind vascular aging and the key role it plays on muscle health. Scientists at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of [...]

Which NAD+ Booster is right for me?

[...]

CD73 utilization shows importance of NMN to restore NAD+

This recent study found that in endothelial cells, the extracellular conversion of NMN to NR by CD73 enzyme in the cell membrane is a key mechanism to maintain intracellular NAD+ Reversal of endothelial dysfunction by nicotinamide mononucleotide via [...]

NAD+ is the Transport Molecule Used by the Body, Not Nicotinamide Riboside

Restoring NAD+ levels in older animals and humans is at the center of efforts to slow or even stop the effects of aging. One method being researched is providing supplements  such as Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) that the body [...]

Sublingual delivery of NAD+ boosters

What is NAD+?

Poor Bioavailability from Capsules NAD+ not effective in drinking water or in capsule form The NAD+ molecule is twice as large as NR or NMN, and is totally degraded in the gastrointestinal tract, so researchers do not use [...]

How NAD+ Boosts ATP and What it Means for Health and Aging

Much of the attention on the benefits of restoring NAD+ levels focus on its role in activating sirtuins. However, scientific research shows that NAD supplementation has a clear beneficial effect not only on ageing itself but also on [...]

1st NMN Human Study Demonstrates Safety and Faster Utilization than NR

The first study of NMN in humans was just published. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/…/advpub_EJ19-03…/_pdf/-char/en This japanese study looked at a single dose of 100, 250, or 500 mg NMN capsules to 10 men 40-60 years old. No adverse effects were noted. [...]
