In October, 2021 Chromadex did a study on twenty-two NMN brands having the highest market share on Amazon and found that only 14% had NMN content at or above the claims on their label.
A whopping 64% had less than 1% of the NMN it claimed on the label and 14% had ZERO NNM whatsoever.
A regimen of 1000 mg of MIB-626 twice daily was safe and efficacious
MIB-626 treatment was associated with a substantial increase in blood NAD level from baseline to days 14 and 28
Circulating NMN levels did not change significantly in either group…
The results showed that Resveratrol intake significantly lowered cholesterol and blood glucose levels (HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL).
“These results suggest that Resveratrol (RSV) has a dramatic impact on regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, and the major clinical value of Resveratrol intake is for obese and diabetic patients.”
Thus, circulating host NAM enters the gut lumen and is used by the microbiome for both NAD and NA synthesis.
Thus, gut microbiota provide an alternative route from NAM to NAD, bypassing the salvage synthesis pathway, in intestine and liver
Orally delivered NR was found in the GI tract but not in other peripheral tissues, indicating rapid metabolism of NR before it enters the circulation (Figure S4A). Only a small fraction of NAD in the liver and small intestine was M+9, indicating minimal direct assimilation of NR
Studies have shown the ability of NMN to elevate systemic levels of NAD+ in humans and ameliorate many of the diseases of old age. In a new study on dogs, NMN was shown to be safe and to have similar efficacy as in humans. Dog and human NAD+ levels both decline with age Dogs have […]
A recent article in sciencedaily.com took some research out of context and wrote a review with a click-bait title that caused a lot of uproar as others repeated the faulty review. Here is the title of the original research: “A bioluminescent-based probe for in vivo non-invasive monitoring of nicotinamide riboside uptake reveals a link […]
There are now 12 studies published to date in humans with NMN supplementation. The previous 11 studies used oral delivery of NMN capsules, and were generally quite positive. This most recent study used a single dose of NMN by IV. Researchers were surprised to find a 75% drop in triglycerides. There haven’t been any previous […]
New Research Shows Resveratrol Can Help Prevent Muscle Loss & Senescence in Mice Resveratrol is a heavily studied anti-aging polyphenol packed with health benefits. To date, the compound has been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-senescence effects. A recent study has shown that Resveratrol can prevent muscle atrophy and senescence in mice. The study […]
CD38 Increases as We Age and Drives Down NAD+ Levels CD38 is an enzyme that responds to inflammation, and consumes NAD+. Researchers have long known that CD38 levels increase, and that NAD+ decreases as we age. A 2016 study found that the increased levels of CD38 are a primary driver of decreasing levels of NAD+ […]
(Pencina et al., 2022 | The Journals of Gerontology) NMN doses of 1,000 mg taken once daily doubles NAD+ levels (middle graph). When taken twice daily, NMN triples NAD+ levels (right graph). Dr. David Sinclair is a co-founder of Metrobiotech, whose NMN product MIB-626 was used in this research published Feb 19 2022. MIB-626, an […]
There has been little, if any, head to head research published comparing Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). However, Dr. Sinclair recently said he takes NMN instead of NR based on research he did that found NR did not work at all, while NMN increased the endurance in older mice such that they were […]
Restoring NAD+ levels is crucial to maximize health as we age. Many supplements that decrease systemic inflammation also have direct and indirect effect on NAD+ levels. Supplements to Restore NAD+ NAD+ and NAD+ precursor supplements Increase endogenous NAD+ production Decrease NAD+ consumption in the body NAD+ and NAD+ Precursors We offer the most complete range […]
