NMN
Also known as: Nicotinamide mononucleotide · β-NMN
Nicotinamide mononucleotide — a direct precursor the body converts into NAD+, studied for cellular energy and longevity.
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a nucleotide that sits one step away from NAD+ in the salvage pathway: cells take up NMN and convert it into NAD+. It is studied as a way to support the NAD+ pool that declines with age.
Its research interest overlaps heavily with NAD+ itself — mitochondrial energy, sirtuin activity and metabolic health — making it a staple of the longevity and cellular-energy categories.
