Meta-Review: NMN Promotes Liver and Muscle Health in Middle Aged and Older Adults

This meta-review found that NMN improves muscle function, reduces insulin resistance, and lowers liver enzyme levels in middle-aged and elderly participants. Summary This meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials with 412 participants evaluated the effects of NMN on muscle and liver function in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The study found that NMN significantly improved muscle […]

NMN (250 mg/day) Improves Sleep and Walking Speed in Older Adults

“These results indicate that NMN intake could increase blood NAD + levels, maintain walking speed, and improve sleep quality in older adults.”

Creatine Optimizes Exercise and Daily Performance

Creatine is an amino acid derivative stored in your muscles and used to create energy for movement. Every cell in the body relies on Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) as a source of energy that through muscle contraction, uses ATP and releases Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP). Stores of Creatine in your muscles help to quickly turn ADP back to ATP for additional energy.

Study Shows NR Improves Glucose, Lipids, And Body Composition in Mice On A High-Fat Diet

This study showed that NR supplementation protected mice from HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction, specifically through protecting mitochondrial function in the skeletal muscle. 

Study Shows Resveratrol Preserves Muscle Health in Aged Mice

Resveratrol supplementation effectively protected mice against age-related muscle mass loss, heart cell enlargement, and motor dysfunction.

Study Shows NR Injections Increase Muscle NAD+ in Mice, Oral Supplementation Does Not

NR injections boosted NAD+ levels in skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue.

A ~140% increase in muscle NAD+ was observed after 7 days of IV administration of NR. Oral administration failed to increase NAD+ levels compared to the control group (figure A).

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 […]

NMN and Resveratrol Work Synergistically to boost NAD+ in Heart and Skeletal Muscle

A new study shows that the combination of NMN and Resveratrol works synergistically to increase NAD+ levels in both heart and skeletal muscle tissues in mice. Combination treatments shown to boost efficacy It is becoming more common to treat age-related diseases with anti-aging cocktails, including NAD+ or NMN to boost efficacy.  NMN has been shown […]

Exercise Increases Blood Vessel Growth, Density, and Benefits Aging Muscle

New studies are showing the benefits of exercise on blood vessel growth and aging muscle.  The loss of muscle tissue, called sarcopenia, is a natural part of the aging process.  These new studies show that steady exercise can help to overcome the loss of muscle tissue well into later years. Loss of muscle tissue starts […]

Resveratrol Prevents Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Senescence

Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenolic compound with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-senescence and antitumor effects.  A new study investigated the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on cigarette smoke (CS)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and cellular senescence in mice.   Thirty-two male mice were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (N), the resveratrol group (RSV), the emphysema […]

Increasing NMN Transporter in the Brain Reduces Age-Related Muscle Decline

A new study shows that increased levels in the brain of a molecule called Slc128a, which transports NMN into cells, reduces a type of muscle decline in older adults called sarcopenia. Likewise, they showed that reducing levels of Slc128a in the brain caused the muscles to become fatigued and weakened again. Doubling Slc128a Dramatically Improved […]
