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.
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 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 The gut is a diverse and dynamic microbiotic system. There are about 100 trillion microorganisms in the gut, which is mainly composed of anaerobic, partially anaerobic, and aerobic bacteria. In the process of ageing, the intestinal tract may show an increase in the permeability of the epithelial barrier and impaired tight junction proteins. Notably, supplementing β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to elevate NAD+ level has been proved to prolong life and maintain the colon health in ageing Mice. Research protocol Zmpste24−/− mice are frequently used in the construction of the prematurely ageing model, due to their features of slow weight gain, malnutrition and progressive hair loss, with a short median survival of about 20 weeks. Herein, to fathom out the role of NMN in maintaining the colon health of ageing mice, Zmpste24−/− mice aged 5-7 weeks are orally gavaged with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), or NMN at 100/300 mg kg−1 every other day until natural death. Likewise, natural ageing C57BL/6 mice aged 10 months old are subjected to the oral gavage of PBS or NMN at 300 mg kg−1, serving as the the control. During experiments, the body weight of mice is recorded, and their frailty index and fecal samples are detected. The life span and frailty indices in Zmpste24-/- mice after NMN treatment NMN extends the healthy and median lifespan of Zmpste24−/−improves the Zmpste24−/− ageing phenotype. Specifically, the median lifespan of the mice is increased from 21.4 weeks to 25.7 weeks post NMN intervention, with more than 20% growth. Also, NMN effectively increases body weight. Meanwhile, mice have better overall health after NMN treatment, as manifested by the slowly increasing trend towards Sinclair’s frailty indices. The role of NMN in the intestinal tract of ageing mice NMN adjusts the activity of genes involved in ageing mice colons. Simply put, in the presence of NMN supplement, the protein level of transcriptional regulator P53 is reduced, while the expression levels of ageing marker Sirt1, NMNAT2 and NMNAT3 are elevated. NMN improves the pathology of intestinal epithelial cells and intestinal permeability, as evidenced by the upregulation of intestinal tight junction protein (Claudin1,) and the number of goblet cells, the elevated release of anti-inflammatory factor (IL-10), and the increasing beneficial intestinal bacteria (Akkermansia muciniphila and Bifidobacterium pseudolongum). Conclusion NMN supplementation exerts a protective effect on colon mucosa by controlling the activity of genes involved in ageing, intestinal stem cell differentiation and improving intestinal flora homeostasis, which may be a viable strategy for maintaining healthy ageing in the gut.

1. Introduction Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) compartmentalized in adipocytes can modulate adipocyte differentiation and gene expression, in addition to controlling glucose metabolism. White adipose tissue (WAT), one major adipose tissue, may be one of the direct target for NAD supplementation. 2. About WAT In contrast to brown adipose tissue (BAT), WAT contains a single lipid droplet and few mitochondria. WAT, once thought to be morphologically and functionally unremarkable, is in fact highly dynamic, with plasticity and heterogeneity, which is widely distributed in the subcutaneous tissues and around the internal organs. WAT plays a key role in a range of biological processes, such as maintenance of energetic homeostasis, processing and handling of glycans and lipids, blood pressure control, and host defence, with tight relationship with metabolic disorders such as diabetes. 3. The tissue-specific roles of NAD NMN is synthesized from NAM and NR by NAMPT and NRK, respectively. The synthesized NAD+ from NMN is used as a SIRT1 substrate, which leads to the recycling of NAD+ via the salvage pathway. In this process, NAD+ can exert different effects depending on the tissue. Remarkably, NAD precursors can control metabolic stress particularly via focusing on adipose tissue. 4. The effects of boosting NAD+ on WAT Supplementation of NMN and NR has been shown to reduce body weight and enhance insulin sensitivity in regular chow-fed aged wild-type mice and diet-induced obese mice, respectively. NAM supplementation diminishes fat accumulation in diet-induced obese mice. Additionally, both NMN and NR supplementation prevent inflammation even with different treatment duration. NAM administration boosts mitochondrial biogenesis and glutathione synthesis in WAT. Similarly, it is evidenced that NMN treatment in high fat diet-induced type 2 diabetes mouse model facilitates the recovery of Glutathione S-transferase Alpha 2 (Gsta2) gene expression in the liver. 5. The adipose-specific effects of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) NAMPT, one NAD regulator in WAT, is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of metabolic disorders. NAMPT plays a potential role in maintaining adipose tissue homoeostasis, as evidenced by the explicitly blocked adipocyte differentiation and lipid synthesis in vitro post treatment of NAMPT inhibitor FK866. For some reasons such as differences in sex, age, and/or basal levels of cellular NAD+ availability, there are various inconclusive results regarding the impacts of NAD+ metabolism on adipocytes in the adipocyte-specific NAMPT-deficient mouse model or in vitro cell models. Further investigation on the effects of NAD+ supplementation and the distinct functions of NAMPT in adipocytes is still needed. 6. Conclusion The importance of NAD metabolism in WAT has been highlighted. NAD has tissue-specific roles. Specifically, WAT may be one of the direct target for NAD supplementation. Supplementation with NAD+ precursors can reduce fat accumulation and inflammation in adipose tissue. Reference Kwon SY, Park YJ.

1. Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the motion-related nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease is featured by the death of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) and manifested by progressive muscle atrophy and weakness, culminating in immobility to paralysis, with the body gradually frozen as if by ice. Patients with this disorder generally have a low survival rate and life quality. At present, there is no effective way to cure this disease, but early invention has a positive significance in improving the symptoms of patients and delaying the progression of disease. Remarkably, dietary NMN supplementation has been uncovered to be beneficial against ALS, which can enhance the motor and function of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in ALS, bringing a glimpse of hope for ALS patients. 2. The improved healthspan and reduced motor dysfunction in ALS mice post dietary NMN supplementation The median lifespan of ALS mice administrated with or without NMN is 143 days and 138 days, respectively, hinting that NMN supplementation in diet has a modest effect on lifespan extension. Relative to those without dietary NMN supplementation, NMN-treated ALS mice shows a slower motor impairment in both rotarod and hanging wire tests, with a two-week delay in dysfunction, despite no difference in body weight loss during testing period. When compared with those in the absence of dietary NMN supplementation, ALS mice administrated with NMN are more active, with increased travel distance, elevated mean speed and reduced immobile time. In addition, NMN diet prevents ALS-induced gait impairments, as manifested by the improved forelimb and hindlimb stride length in NMN-treated ALS mice. 3. The alleviating effect of NMN on the function of NMJs in ALS NMJs are one of the earliest affected site in ALS, which are benefited greatly from NMN diet. In addition to improving the length and breadth of the motor endplate, dietary NMN supplementation also ameliorates the impairment of NMJ function and reduce the semitendinosus muscle mass in ALS mice. Furthermore, NMN conspicuously elevates the innervation ratio of NMJs in ALS mice. Dietary NMN supplementation strengthens synaptic function at NMJ in ALS, while diminishing NMJ and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondrial abnormalities. With a great detail, NMN prominently increases Feret's diameter of mitochondria and restores mitochondria circularity in ALS mice. 4. Conclusion Dietary NMN supplementation can modestly extend lifespan and significantly enhance healthspan by improving motor performance and NMJ function in ALS mice, opening up new opportunities for the future treatment of ALS.
