"Animal studies show promise in various areas, but human trials are limited, often using higher doses than typically found in supplements. More research is needed to confirm benefits and optimal dosages in humans."
NMN is a precursor to NAD+, a crucial coenzyme involved in numerous cellular processes. Supplementing with NMN aims to boost NAD+ levels, potentially supporting healthy aging and overall well-being. However, human research is still in its early stages.
