WHAT IS NMN?
NMN is a compound derived from ribose and Nicotinamide which is a derivative of Vitamin B3 or Niacin. The compound plays a major role in deciding how the body uses its energy.
As we grow older, we experience a big drop in our levels of energy. We accept that this is the case but why does it happen? The main reason that age deprives us of youthful levels of energy is that aging also sees a drop in our levels of nicotinamide mononucleotide.
In order to illustrate the point, it helps to look at the relationship between NMN and a co-enzyme called Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide more commonly known as NAD+.
NMN AS A PRECURSOR TO NAD+
NMN is a precursor to NAD+ and therefore plays an essential role in its synthesis. This is important since NAD+ plays a critical role in the conversion of the energy your body gets from its nutrients converting it into a form our bodies can use. NAD+ also plays a very important role in how the mitochondria communicate with the cell’s nucleus. The levels of NAD+ in the human body are directly linked to the body's level of NMN.
