NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a substance similar to vitamin B3, which can produce NAD+ (a key metabolic intermediate) in the body. Therefore, studies have shown that NMN may help improve aging-related health issues such as metabolism, immunity, cell repair, brain health, and more.
Currently, NMN supplements are mainly used to treat the following diseases:
Aging-related metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, etc.
Aging-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease.
Aging-associated immune decline.
Aging-related cardiovascular disease.
NMN supplements are mainly used to increase NAD+ levels to improve metabolic diseases and slow down the aging process.
Improve metabolic diseases: Studies have shown that NMN can improve the symptoms of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver and obesity.
Delay the aging process: NMN can increase the vitality of cells, improve the metabolic process of cells, and delay the aging process.
Protect DNA: NAD+ is an important metabolic substance in cells and participates in various biological processes such as cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair. Supplementing NMN can increase NAD+ levels and protect DNA.

However, these studies were small, and NMN has not been shown to be effective in clinical trials, so further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of NMN supplements.
NMN supplements may cause side effects such as upset stomach, diarrhea, and nausea. There is also research showing that NMN supplements may affect insulin sensitivity and insulin levels, so people with diabetes should consult their doctor before taking them.
NMN supplements have not yet undergone large-scale clinical trials to verify their effectiveness. Currently, research on NMN supplements is mainly focused on animal and in vitro experiments. These studies show that NMN can improve the symptoms of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver and obesity, and can delay the aging process.
The long-term health effects of NMN supplementation are not well studied. Existing studies mainly focus on animal and in vitro experiments, which show that NMN can improve the symptoms of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver and obesity, and can delay the aging process. However, the results of these studies do not represent the long-term effects of NMN on human health.
Introduction Ginsenoside Rg3 is Panaxanediol type tetracyclic triterpenoid saponin monomer extracted from the root of Panax ginseng, which has a wide range of pharmacological effects including anti-tumor, neuroprotection, cardiovascular protection, anti-fatigue, anti-oxidation, hypoglycemia, and enhancement of immune function. This research unveils the potential value of ginsenoside Rg3 in targeting breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) to treat breast cancer, one of the most common tumor worldwide with significant morbidity and mortality. Ginsenoside Rg3 as anticancer adjuvant Ginsenoside Rg3 can promote the apoptosis of tumor cells, and inhibit tumor growth, infiltration, invasion, metastasis and neovascularization. At the same time, it has the effect of reducing toxicity, increasing efficacy in the joint application with chemotherapeutic drugs, improving immunity of the organism, and reversing multi-drug resistance of tumor cells. Shenyi capsule, a new anticancer drug with ginsenoside Rg3 monomer as the main component, was approved by China FDA and marketed in 2003, which is mainly used in the adjuvant treatment of various tumors. About BCSCs Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a group of undifferentiated cells with strong ability of self-renewal and differentiation, which is the main reason for poor clinical outcomes and poor efficacy. BCSCs can clonally proliferate under serum-free three-dimensional culture conditions and form mammospheres. BCSCs have specific surface markers (CD44, CD24, CD133, OCT4 and SOX2) or enzymes (ALDH1). BCSCs function as potential drivers of breast cancer, which are resistant to conventional breast cancer clinical treatments such as radiotherapy, leading to breast cancer recurrence and metastasis. The suppressive effect of ginsenoside Rg3 in the progression of breast cancer Ginsenoside Rg3 exerts inhibitory effects on the viability and clonogenicity of breast cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In addition, it suppresses mammosphere formation, as evidenced by the spheroid number and diameter. Furthermore, ginsenoside Rg3 reduces the expression of stem cell-related factors (c-Myc, Oct4, Sox2, and Lin28), and decreases the ALDH (+) subpopulation breast cancer cells. Ginsenoside Rg3 as an accelerator of MYC mRNA degradation Ginsenoside Rg3 depresses BCSCs mainly through downregulating the expression of MYC, one of the main cancer stem cell reprogramming factors with a pivotal role in tumor initiation. Its regulatory effect on MYC mRNA stability is chiefly achieved by promoting the microRNA let-7 cluster. Under normal conditions, the let7 family is expressed at low levels in cancer cells, resulting in stable MYC mRNA expression and high c-Myc expression. However, Rg3 treatment leads to the upregulation of let-7 cluster, impairment of MYC mRNA stability, downregulation of c-Myc expression and inhibition of breast cancer stem-like properties. Conclusion The traditional Chinese herbal monomer ginsenoside Rg3 has the potential to suppress breast cancer stem-like properties by destabilizing MYC mRNA at the post-transcriptional level, showing great promise as adjuvant for the treatment of breast cancer.

1. Introduction Age-related NAD+ depletion affects physiological functions and contributes to various aging-related diseases. NAD+ precursors can significantly elevate NAD+ level in murine tissues, effectively mitigate metabolic syndrome, enhance cardiovascular health, protect against neurodegeneration, and boost muscular strength, with broad prospect in the anti-aging-related field. 2. The synthesis and metabolism of NAD+ in age-related pathologies NAD+ is synthesized from NAD+ precursors and amino acids tryptophan via three main pathways: De novo, Preiss-Handler, and Salvage. Supplementation of NAD+ precursors can be advantageous in maintaining normal cellular metabolism regulated by NAD+ and NAD+-dependent enzymes such as Sirtuins, PARP, CD38, and SARM1. NAD+ intermediates require conversion into NA to elevate NAD+ level. NAD+ and its metabolism-related enzymes have very important roles in biological processes such as cellular metabolic processes, gene expression, apoptosis and carcinogenesis. NAD+ repletion is drawing attention as an anti-aging intervention. NAD+ precursors, such as NA, NAM, NR, and NMN, provide beneficial effects in various preclinical disease models of age-induced deficits, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, and musculoskeletal diseases. 3. Comparison on the efficacy of replenishing NAD precursors in pre-clinical studies and clinical studies in age-related pathologies The downregulation of NAD+ level in cells and tissues is not a universal phenomenon for aging-related pathologies. NAD+ merely decreases with age in certain tissues. The efficacy of NAD+ precursors in clinical studies has been limited in comparison with that in the pre-clinical studies. Noteworthily, this issue can be addressed as long as much attention has been paid to the metabolism of NAD. With regards to the oral supplementation of NAD+ precursors, there is obvious link between NAD metabolism and gut microbes. Specifically, oral consumption of NMN is converted into NAMN through interaction with the gut microbiome. In addition, dietary NAM and NR are converted into NA through gut microbiota. 4. Future research directions regarding the NAD+ metabolism It is fundamental to consider how the gut microbiome affects NAD+ metabolism, and changes in microbiome composition may affect the availability of NAD+ precursors. Future studies also require the comparative analysis of different precursors, and the role of gut microbiomes regarding various intermediaries needs to be investigated. Assessment of how NAD+ precursors affect microbiota and how their interaction with NAD+ metabolism benefits the physiological condition is essential for future preclinical and clinical studies. 5. Conclusion Supplementation of suitable NAD+ precursors or intervening in NAD+ metabolism can restore the body's NAD+ level, which is of great practical significance for effectively improving aging-related diseases and prolonging healthy life span is of great practical significance for effectively improving aging-related diseases and prolonging healthy life span. NAD metabolism involves gut microbiome, and in-depth research on their interaction is possibly an important breakthrough in the future to combat aging-related pathologies.

1.Introduction Mitochondria, a type of highly plastic organelle, can maintain a relatively stable dynamic equilibrium state towards the morphology, structure, quantity, volume, quality, and function under normal physiological conditions. This dynamic equilibrium state is generally called mitochondria homeostasis. Replenishment of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to boost intracellular NAD+ level can regulate mitochondrial homeostasis. 2.The amelioration of mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence post NMN treatment Typically, NAD+ level determines the rate and extent of senescence. The NAD+ pool experienced by cells and tissues presents a declined tendency with age, which may lead to a loss of mitochondrial homeostasis and senescent phenotypes in CD8+ T cells. Following NMN (100 μM) supplementation, NAD+ level is restored and the NAD+/NADH ratio is elevated in senescent CD8+ T cells, by which the mitochondrial functions are obviously improved and the cytoplasmic mtDNA is reduced. 3.The prevention of neuroinflammation and senescence in CD8+ T cells via NMN supplement Post NMN supplementation, the senescence and neuroinflammation are correspondingly repressed. With a great detail, NMN supplementation decreases the ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential in CD8+ T cells, while increasing the intracellular ATP. Furthermore, NMN suppresses the inflammation-associated markers (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ) in the supernatant and the mRNA of senescent CD8+ T cells. 4. The inhibitory effect of NMN on the senescence-related pathway STING The activation of STING can launch a robust proinflammatory response and senescence, which is closely related to the deficient health span in model mice. Strikingly, NMN can prominently improve the senescent state of T cells and reduce the secretion of senescence-related inflammatory factors via inhibition of the STING pathway. 5. Conclusion Upregulation of NAD+ level by NMN supplementation can regulate the mitochondrial homeostasis to prevent STING-induced senescence in CD8+ T cells. Reference Ye B, Pei Y, Wang L, et al.
