In recent years, NMN, as a kind of substance, has been found that it may have a unique principle and function in antialcoholism.
We need to understand how alcohol is metabolized in the body
When alcohol enters the body, it is metabolized primarily in the liver.
Most of the alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase, and acetaldehyde is a harmful substance to the body, it has a strong toxicity and irritation.
Acetaldehyde is further converted to acetic acid under the action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, and finally decomposed into carbon dioxide and water.
When you drink too much alcohol, the alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the liver may be overwhelmed, causing acetaldehyde to build up in the body, which can cause a series of drunken symptoms such as blushing, dizziness, and nausea.
One of the key roles of NMN in the process of alcohol withdrawal is its protection and improvement of liver function.
NMN is a precursor to NAD +, which plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and many physiological functions of cells.
In liver cells, adequate NAD + levels help maintain the normal activity of ethanol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
When NMN is supplemented, it can be rapidly converted into NAD + in the body, providing strong support for the work of these enzymes, making the alcohol metabolism process more smoothly, reducing the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, and thus alleviating the symptoms of drunkenness.
NMN also has a positive effect on the repair and regeneration capacity of liver cells
Excessive alcohol consumption may cause damage to liver cells, triggering inflammatory responses and oxidative stress.
NAD + is involved in a variety of intracellular repair mechanisms, including activation of signaling pathways associated with cell repair, such as SIRT1.
SIRT1 is an NAD + dependent deacetylase that regulates the expression of many genes in liver cells and promotes the cells’ self-repair and antioxidant defense capabilities.
By supplementing NMN to increase the level of NAD +, SIRT1 can be activated to help repair damaged liver cells, reduce the damage of alcohol to the liver, and further enhance the liver’s ability to metabolize alcohol.
NMN may also play a role in the nervous system
Alcohol can affect the normal function of the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness and unresponsiveness.
NAD + is involved in the energy metabolism and signal transmission process of nerve cells, and maintains the stability of the nervous system.
NMN elevates NAD + levels to help improve the adverse effects of alcohol on the nervous system, making nerve cells better able to cope with the disturbance brought by alcohol, and reducing the nervous system related discomfort after intoxication.
Although NMN has a certain scientific principle of hangover cure, it does not mean that you can drink without restraint.
It may only help to alleviate the damage of alcohol to the body to a certain extent, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, moderate drinking is the best protection for the body.
