NMN & NAD+ Guide: Longevity Supplements Explained
NMN and NAD+ are popular longevity supplements that support cellular energy and repair. Learn the science, dosing, and whether they're worth taking.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and longevity pathways. NAD+ levels decline with age, which may contribute to aging.
NMN vs NR: What's the Difference?
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (nicotinamide riboside) are both NAD+ precursors. NMN is larger but may be more directly converted. Both raise NAD+ levels effectively.
What Research Shows
Animal studies show improved energy, metabolism, and aging markers. Human studies are limited but promising for energy and metabolic benefits. More research is needed.
Dosing and Timing
Common doses: 250-500mg NMN or 300-600mg NR daily. Often taken in the morning for energy benefits. Some take sublingually for better absorption. Start low and increase gradually.
