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.
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 Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a derivative of vitamin B3, is a new type of bioactive substance, which can be generated by binding a carbohydrate molecular ribose with nicotinamide (also known as niacin or vitamin B3). Nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRC/NR-CL) is a chloride salt form of NR. In daily life, NR-CL can be taken from NR supplements and food such as meat, fish and cereals. A recent study has revealed that NR-CL protects the hippocampus and ultimately promotes the recovery of cognitive function after brain ischemia. 2. The ameliorating impact of NRC upon ischemia-induced cognitive deficits Ischemia-induced cognitive deficits are ameliorated post NRC treatment. Specifically, NRC treatment improves the learning ability of mice, as evidenced by the shorter latency and the decreased path length. The hippocampal protection provided by NRC contributes to the recovery of spatial learning and memory after the ischemic insult. Figure 1 Acute NRC treatment potentiates cognitive recovery after ischemia 3. Reduction of the infarct volume in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment After ischemia, there are deformed cell bodies, condensed nuclear chromatin, increased intracellular cell gaps, loosened cell arrangements and blurred visible staining in the damaged pyramidal neurons. NRC treatment partially offsets these morphological changes. Figure 2 Acute NRC treatment reduces the hippocampal infarct volume. 4. Recovery of neuronal damage in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment After ischemia, brain damage emerges due to energy crisis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, followed by the cell loss and neuronal apoptosis. NRC treatment leads to an increase in the number of positive cells, signifying the recovery of local neuronal loss. Figure 3 Acute NRC treatment attenuates neuronal loss in the hippocampus. 5. Upregulation of NAD and ATP levels in the hippocampus post acute NRC treatment By repleshing the production of NAD, acute treatment with NRC, to some extent, can salvage the energy supply in the hippocampus, which conspicuously enhances the recovery of ATP level. 6. Conclusion Collectively, acute NRC treatment increases the energy supply and reduces the neuronal loss to protect the hippocampus, thereby facilitating the recovery of cognitive function. NR-CL (ie. NRC) is a very promising component of health care products and has a wide range of application prospects. Before use, one should follow the guidance of professionals. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable intake and safe use to avoid the adverse effects of excessive use.
