Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a derivative of niacin is a nucleotide that is traced from ribose and nicotinamide. Certain enzymes in the body use it to generate NAD+, which is a vital element that keeps the biological processes going. Though it supports as well as maintains activities essential to sustain the human life, levels of NAD+ reduce as we age, thereby, causing cellular damage and affected metabolism. But what’s surprising is the fact that aging is also something that shows up when NAD+ falls down. However, intake of proven NMN products increases their levels to a great extent.
