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.
Improves Athletic Capacity: NMN has been shown to improve athletic performance and increase fat burning ability
Improve neurodegenerative diseases: Studies have shown that NMN can improve neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease
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 (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 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 Diabetes is one of the dominant causes of death and disability worldwide, greatly affecting the life quality of patients. According to the latest data on diabetes released by the Lancet (GBD Study 2021), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases almost makes up 96.0% of all diabetes cases, with the hallmark of impaired glucose uptake. There are approximately 529 million patients with diabetes in 2021, with age-standardized prevalence of 6.1%. Remarkably, β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is able to ameliorate T2DM via unexpected effects on adipose tissue rather than mitochondrial biogenesis. Global age-standardised prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes from 1990 through 2050 forecasts Risk factors for T2DM High body mass index (BMI) is the main risk factor for T2DM, followed by dietary risk factors, environmental or occupational factors, smoking, insufficient physical activity, alcohol consumption, etc. The organ-specific effects of NMN treatment in T2DM NMN alleviates the mildly impaired and energy-inefficient protein synthesis in mice with T2DM induced by high-fat food. Specifically, NMN downregulates spliceosome proteins while upregulating ribosome proteins in hepatocytes. Besides, NMN downregulates proteasome and upregulates DNA replication and cell cycle pathways in muscle cells. Integrated proteomics data analysis of NMN-treated HFD mouse liver. Integrated proteomics data analysis of mouse muscle tissue. Adipose tissue, an energy reservoir, has been attested to be implicated with glucose metabolism. NMN boosts glucose uptake via Resistin downregulation, increased protein synthesis/degradation, fatty acid degradation, lysosome protein upregulation (most notably upregulation of the ATP6V1 proton pump), mTOR cell proliferation signaling in white adipose tissue, differentiation of preadipocytes to brown adipose cells and/or overexpression of thermogenic UCP1, a protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane of brown adipose tissue. Integrated proteomics data analysis of NMN-treated HFD mouse adipose tissue Conclusion NMN exerts organ-specific effects, with a vital role in improving glucose uptake, showing potent potential in the management of metabolic disorders including T2DM.

Introduction NADH (reduced form of NAD+) serves as a carrier of biological hydrogen and an electron donor, which participates in diverse physiological processes such as protein synthesis, DNA repair, insulin synthesis and secretion, immune response and cell division, playing a critical role in promoting health span and mitigating various disease states. Major enzymatic reactions in substrate metabolism that are dependent upon NAD+/NADH ratio The equilibrium of the NAD+/NADH ratio is vital for maintaining cellular reduction–oxidation (redox) homeostasis and modulating energy metabolism. Several enzymatic reactions in substrate metabolism are carried out in a NAD+/NADH ratio-dependent way. For instance, ketones suppress the increased mitochondrial production of ROS associated with excitotoxic injury by enhancing NADH oxidation (i.e. elevated NAD+/NADH ratio) in the electron transport chain, directly affecting NADH level . NADH in Krebs cycle and glycolysis NADH is produced in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (also known as citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle), which can transfer energy to supply ATP synthesis through the process of oxidative phosphorylation in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Krebs cycle supplies NADH as an electron carrier to the electron transport chain in mitochondria, while glycolysis-produced NADH can be used by L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or transported to the mitochondria for redox homeostasis. The effects of NADH on the mitochondria are accomplished by specialized shuttle systems (e.g., malate-aspartate or glycerol-3-phosphate). The possible strategies to modulate NADH level The main NAD/NADH biosynthetic pathways include de novo synthesis from tryptophan (TRP), synthesis from either form of vitamin B3, nicotinamide (NAM) or nicotinic acid (NA), or conversion of nicotinamide riboside (NR). Correspondingly, NADH level can be regulated by replenishing NADH precursors (eg. NR and NMN), applying NADH dehydrogenase inhibitors, having diets rich in certain nutrients (eg. vitamin B3), administrating mitochondrial targeting agents and supplementing exogenous NADH. Conclusion NADH may be a versatile therapeutic candidate by leverage of its ability to affect redox homeostasis, mitochondrial functions, and enzymatic reactions.

1. Introduction In mammalian cells, the majority of NAD+ is produced from metabolites entering the NAD+ salvage pathway. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the salvage pathway, which can convert nicotinamide (NAM) into nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). Neuronal NAMPT is important for pre-/post-synaptic NMJ function, and maintaining skeletal muscular function and structure. 2. The involvement of NAMPT in NAD+ salvage pathway NAMPT activity has a pivotal role in energy metabolism and homeostasis. NAMPT can condense nicotinamide (NAM) and 5-phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) into nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). NMN is subsequently synthesized into NAD+ by nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT), the enzyme immediately after NAMPT. 3. The effect of NMN on partially reversing the NMJ impairments in NAMPT-/- cKO mice In the presence of NMN treatment, vesicle endocytosis/exocytosis is improved and endplate morphology is restored in Thy1-NAMPT-/-conditional knockout (cKO) mice. Also, loss of NAMPT in projection neurons impairs the endocytosis and exocytosis of synaptic vesicles at NMJs, but NMN can largely prevent these impairments. Furthermore, NMN treatment restores sarcomere alignment rather than mitochondrial morphology. 4. The underlying mechanism of NMN affecting NMJs The ameliorating effects of NMN on NMJs may be realized via NAMPT-mediated NAD+ salvage pathway, and this speculation is confirmed by the ameliorated synaptic vesicle cycling, endplate morphology, and muscle fiber structure and function post 2-week administration of the NAD+ precursor, NMN. 5. Conclusion Mechanically, the effects of NMN improving NMJ function, endplate morphology and muscular structure and contractility possibly involves NAMPT-mediated NAD+ salvage pathway. NMN holds a great promise as a therapeutic agent for skeletal muscle diseases. Reference Lundt S, Zhang N, Wang X, Polo-Parada L, Ding S.
