BioNMN® (Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a ribo-nucleotide, which is a simple structural unit of RNA. NMN is the direct precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a vital component to cellular increases in NAD+ levels. NAD+ is an essential coenzyme required to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the fuel used by almost all cells in the body. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which can lead to less-than-optimal functioning and contribute to conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and impaired cognitive function.
While humans cannot absorb NAD directly, using NAD+ precursors like NMN can help maintain NAD+ levels. BioNMN® emphasizes enhanced bioavailability so the full benefits of this ingredient can be achieved.
NMN supplementation offers a wide range of benefits that influence nearly all body systems, including brain and cardiovascular support, reduced age-related inflammation, neuroprotection, hormonal balance, improved mitochondrial function, enhanced muscle endurance and strength, and overall longevity. These benefits rely on NAD+ as a key coenzyme that drives these biological processes.
In terms of muscle performance, skeletal muscles require significant amounts of energy molecules to maintain strength and function. NAD+ is required to metabolize these molecules, meaning muscles benefit from a steady supply of NMN as a building block.
Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, are essential for converting nutrients into usable energy. NAD+ plays a central role in this metabolic process. Without sufficient NAD+, mitochondria cannot function properly, leading to reduced energy production and potential cellular damage. Research suggests that NMN supplementation supports NAD+ production, helping protect mitochondria and maintain proper metabolic function.
NMN also plays a role in longevity. As many bodily functions decline with age, maintaining NAD+ levels may help slow aspects of the aging process. Supporting NAD+ levels may help sustain optimal function across body systems over time, while low levels are linked to increased risk of dysfunction and disease.
