Scientists discover SLC12a8 pathway used by NMN to restore NAD+ levels

Yes, NMN can cross the cell membrane intact This research was just published that found an enzyme named Slc12a8 that can transport a small quantity of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) directly into some cells However, this enzyme is only prevalent in the small intestine of older, sicker animals and humans. The Slc12a8 enzyme was just discovered […]

NAD+ for Metabolism and Brain, NMN for the body?

Researchers use supplementation with NMN, NR and NAD⁺ to restore levels of NAD⁺ in mice, making them look and behave like they did when young and extending their lifespan.

Although they have similar effect in some organs, there may be differences in the effect they have in other tissues throughout the body.
