NMN lowers Cholesterol, bodyweight, and blood pressure in 28 day trial with overweight older adults

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…

NMN Human Trial Shows Increased Endurance, NAD+ Blood Levels, and Benefits to Bioage

A new NMN human trial using 80 middle-aged healthy adults showed that NMN supplementation was both safe and well tolerated.  It also showed that NMN significantly raised NAD+ blood levels, increased endurance, and benefited bioage. Study set out to determine safety and efficacy of NMN supplementation in 4 groups NAD+ levels are known to decline […]

New Research with NMN by IV Shows Much Stronger Effect Than Oral Supplementation

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 […]

NMN Triples NAD+ Levels in Humans

(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 […]

Why Dr. Sinclair takes NMN instead of NR

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 […]

Why Too Much NMN or NR is Bad

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 doses of NAM can cause genomic instability, reduce cellular methyl pools, and cause insulin resistance through methylated […]

Reduced Nicotinamide Mononucleotide – A Tale of Four NAD+ Precursors

NAD+ Precursors and Healthy Aging Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It is a critical coenzyme for energy metabolism and also serves as the substrate for enzymes such as the sirtuins. One of the hallmarks of aging is declining cellular NAD+ levels.  Moreover, many studies carried out in different […]

Study Shows NMN Supplementation or CD38 Inhibition Restores Cardiovascular Function in Mice

CD38 Deficiency Alleviates Ang II-Induced Vascular Remodeling By Inhibiting Small Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Senescence In Mice (Lu Gan, June 2021) In this study, researchers investigated the impact of NMN supplementation and CD38 inhibition on the cardiovascular function in mice. Declining NAD+ levels are a major contributor to cardiovascular disease in mice. It […]

Case Study on Liposomal NMN Shows Positive Impact on Triglycerides and NAD+ Levels

“In an animal model of type 2 diabetes, the intragastric delivery of Lip-BBR via liposomes exhibited remarkable protective effects against hepatic tissue damage, steatosis, inflammation, insulin resistance, and hepatocellular enzyme imbalance.”

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

The single oral administration of NMN was safe and effectively metabolized in healthy men without causing any significant deleterious effects. Thus, the oral administration of NMN was found to be feasible, implicating a potentialtherapeutic strategy to mitigate aging-related disorders in humans.
