NMN, nicotinamide mononucleotide, is the precursor of NAD+ and is mainly able to increase NAD+ levels. NAD+ plays an absolutely critical and important role in life activities.
Without NAD+, various cellular metabolic activities will be difficult to carry out! If it is lacking, the rate of human aging will also be accelerated exponentially!
Authoritative organizations such as Cell and Nature have conducted comprehensive studies on the functions of NMN, revealing its multiple biological activities. These functions can be summarized in the following 10 points:
1.NMN can delay aging
Maintaining chemical communication between the nucleus and mitochondria relies on NAD+. If communication weakens, it will lead to mitochondrial decline, and mitochondrial decline is an important cause of cellular aging!
Using NMN to increase NAD+ levels, maintain normal gene expression, and maintain cell metabolism can slow down the aging process of cells.
From skin cells and tissues to liver, kidney, heart and lung cells, etc., all can be qualitatively improved!
2.Prevent diabetes
Insulin is the key to lowering blood sugar. After NMN increases NAD+ levels, it can stimulate insulin activity and strengthen the breakdown of fat and polysaccharides in the body, thus reducing the risk of diabetes.
3.NMN can prevent and improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
NMN can prevent and improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through various ways: such as increasing high-density lipoprotein, reducing low-density lipoprotein, antioxidant, reducing macrophage inflammatory response, reducing atherosclerotic plaque formation, and stabilizing atherosclerosis. plaque, reduce plaque rupture, improve blood flow, etc., to maintain cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and stability.
4.Repair genetic errors and damaged genes
NMN increases the level of NAD+. NAD+ serves as a substrate to generate the gene repair enzyme PARP1. It can also separate the protein DBC1 from the inactive PARP1 and restore its activity, further increasing the level of PARP1. PARP1 can recode damaged or incorrect genes according to normal gene sequences to achieve the effect of repairing genes.
5.Generate more than 95% of the energy required by the human body
NMN can be converted into NAD+, repair damaged mitochondria, activate mitochondrial energy, and generate protein, fat and sugar, the three most important nutrients for the human body. Through the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle, it can meet the energy required for daily activities and metabolism of the human body. NAD+ is a very important energy “throttle”.
6.Enhance human immunity
NMN has an important immunomodulatory effect, which can promote spleen cells to produce antibodies, enhance immune T cell function, and stimulate immunoglobulin production. At the same time, NMN can also reduce oxidation of muscle tissue, reduce lactic acid accumulation, muscle soreness after exercise, and enhance the body’s energy metabolism.
7.Improve brain function
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most devastating elderly diseases. Patients’ brains decline and eventually they lose their memory and even forget their loved ones. Cognitive impairment is due to impaired blood flow to the brain, which is related to the aging of blood vessels, and NMN has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and improve cognitive function in the brain. When blood vessels become clogged, it can cause a stroke and further damage brain tissue.
NMN has been shown to not only delay the onset of stroke but also prevent stroke damage and improve cognitive and mitochondrial health after stroke.
8.Whitening and moisturizing
NMN has strong antioxidant properties, so it is a potential photoprotectant. It can prevent oxidative damage to cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes, repair photoaging caused by air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, etc., reduce melanin deposition, and improve skin dullness, spots, acne, etc. .
9.Alcohol metabolism
The alcohol metabolism process secretes harmful acetaldehyde, which needs to be further converted into harmless acetic acid. NMN increases NAD+ levels, which can catalyze the conversion of alcohol into acetic acid and reduce the harm of alcohol to the body. It has the effect of relieving hangover and protecting liver!
10.NMN improves intestinal flora imbalance
More and more studies have found that the intestinal microbiota profoundly affects human health and aging. Sleep deprivation can cause intestinal microbiota imbalance, and NMN can help improve the imbalance, restore intestinal resistance, and activate body vitality.
