NMN (β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a naturally occurring compound found in the human body and certain foods. It plays a crucial role as a precursor in the biosynthesis of NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), an essential coenzyme involved in numerous cellular processes—such as energy metabolism, DNA repair, gene expression, and redox reactions.
As we age, NAD⁺ levels decline significantly—studies suggest nearly a 50% drop every 20 years. By the age of 40, NAD⁺ levels may fall to just one-quarter of those in early childhood, potentially impacting cellular health and energy production.
Although NMN can be obtained from natural sources like broccoli, cucumber, avocado, and edamame, the concentrations are extremely low. For example, to obtain just 300 mg of NMN—a common daily supplemental dose—one would need to consume dozens of pounds of vegetables daily, making dietary intake alone insufficient for meaningful supplementation.
(Note: Age-related decline in NAD⁺ levels is supported by studies such as Mills et al., 2016, “NAD+ decline with age,” in Cell Metabolism.)
