NMN – Supporting Energy and Healthy Aging Today

What is NMN?

NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide, a derivative of vitamin B3 (niacin). NMN is a direct precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is found in every cell of the body. NAD+ and its derived cofactors are essential for supporting cellular energy metabolism, homeostasis, DNA health, and regeneration.

Why is NAD+ important?

Every cell in our body needs to make energy. NAD+ is used to support every energy-making process in every cell. NAD+ is an electron acceptor and transporter in the process of turning food into energy. It is also a substrate for enzymes, incl. sirtuins and PARP, which are involved in metabolism, protein modelling, and DNA health.

Why is energy production important?

A cell’s ability to make energy supports its ability to remain healthy and viable. The theory is that if you are able to keep up with the energy requirements of your body, you support the signs of healthy aging—smooth skin, hormonal balance, flexibility, strength, sound sleep, get-up-and-go, etc. Energy production also supports the health of your organs and organ function. Your heart and brain lack support when energy is low, as do your muscles and your bones. In fact, everything in your body needs energy to remain healthy and perform well, especially as you enter middle and old age.

How does NMN support NAD+?

Unlike other NAD+ precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR), NMN is chemically only one enzymatic step away from NAD+; NMN becomes NAD+ in the body. Then NAD+ can be used as an electron transporter to turn glucose, fatty acids, etc., into energy, and be used to keep your proteins and DNA healthy.

Why is NMN supportive as we age?

Because levels of NAD+ can decline as we age. NMN supplementation has been shown to support healthy NAD+ levels in the body. We might not be able to live forever, but we might be able to have a good “health span”—the length of time that a human remains healthy into old age.

Can you get NMN from food?

Yes, you can; it’s in most foods. The trouble is that you would have to eat hundreds of avocados per day, as one example, just to get 150 mg of NMN. In the West, we live a stressful lifestyle and consume a diet too reliant on ultra-processed foods, so it may be wise to get some extra support.

Introducing Good Health NMN

Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a derivative of the B vitamin niacin, also known as B3. This important ingredient is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which supports energy production in the body. NAD+ is a vital resource found in every cell of the body, but levels can decline with age. Good Health NMN supports healthy cellular energy for the body’s processes that naturally age, supporting brain function, heart and organ health, metabolism, and resilience. Good Health NMN tablets contain 150mg of NMN.

Good Health NMN is the most immediate of all the NAD+ precursors and appears to have a unique transporter for entering cells. Human studies are also confirming that dietary supplementation with NMN supports NAD+ levels in cells. NMN supports the body’s energy production and cellular processes that decline with age. NMN cannot be obtained in physiological amounts from the diet. Good Health NMN is for adults who wish to support their everyday health and lifespan, particularly where lifestyle stressors may be affecting health.

Supplementation with NMN supports:

• • Healthy aging and resilience
  • Healthy energy and metabolism
  • Healthy brain function
  • Heart and cardiovascular health
  • General metabolic and enzymatic processes
  • NAD+ and energy production

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Vitamin and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. For more information contact our Naturopath on 0800 446 634 or visit www.goodhealth.co.nz  Good Health, NZ, Auckland.
