Health Benefits of NAD+ & its Precursor NMN

NAD+ and its precursor NMN NMN or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide is a naturally occurring molecule in all life forms. It is the direct precursor of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential molecule needed for existence and cellular functions. NMN is needed in forming NAD+ since the latter is not as bioavailable.  A lot of attention has been given to NAD+, specifically for its capability to slow down the effects of aging. NAD+ is used as a coenzyme in many molecular procedures that maintains your cells and keeps your body healthy.  Optimised intracellular NAD+ levels don’t just prevent the hastening of cellular aging. In fact, the NAD+ molecule is seen in every cell in the body, allowing the transformation of food we consume into energy and chemical products that the body requires to support itself. This is important since the health and function of every cell rely on this tiny molecule. NAD+ also plays a crucial role with enzymes that handle gene expression in repairing d
