NMN, full name: β-
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, alias: nicotinamide mononucleotide, pH value is 3.0-4.0, is a naturally occurring biologically active nucleotide, exists in various organisms, and is also a cosmetic raw material. It is white to slightly yellow in color, a crystalline powder, has no obvious odor, needs to be stored dry and away from light at room temperature, and has a shelf life of 24 months. The chemical formula is C11H15N2O8P, and it is a key intermediate in the synthesis of coenzyme I-NAD+.
NMN is an inherent substance in the human body and is also rich in some fruits and vegetables. Because nicotinamide belongs to vitamin B3, NMN belongs to the category of vitamin B derivatives. It is widely involved in many biochemical reactions in the human body and is closely related to immunity and metabolism.
The Function of NMN NMN has the effects and functions of increasing the content of NAD+, activating SIR proteins, and promoting metabolism.
1. Increase the content of NAD+: NAD+ can not only affect the activity of Sirtuins in vitro, but also serve as a key substance for poly ADP-ribose polymerase DNA repair enzymes (PARPs). In 2017, a team led by Professor David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School discovered that NAD+ can repair DNA damage.
2. Activate SIR proteins: NMN can activate SIR proteins and is good for heart disease.
3. Promote metabolism: With the increase of age, the level of NMN in the human body gradually decreases, and the body will have degenerative symptoms, such as muscle degeneration, weakened brain power, darker pigmentation, hair loss, etc.
NMN can relieve depression symptoms by increasing the concentration of NAD+, activating Sirtuin3, and improving the energy metabolism of hippocampus and liver cells.
As an indicator, NMN can objectively reflect the degree of human aging. Supplementing NMN for people with aging symptoms can effectively delay aging symptoms or restore youthfulness.
