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.

Introduction Ginsenoside Rh2, one protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type rare ginsenoside in Panax ginseng, is uncovered to possibly have broad-spectrum pharmacological activity in diversified tumors. It is utilized as an adjuvant drug for preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and rescue treatment of advanced cancer, which has been a research hotspot in recent years. Current states on cancer therapies Cancer has emerged as the second largest cause for death across the world, with approximately 9.6 million cancer-related deaths in 2018, in accordance with the statistical report by World Health Organization (WHO). Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery are the preferred option for cancer, whose efficacy is however limited by the tumor relapse and drug resistance, requiring a patch such as adjuvant drugs to fix the bug. For anticancer treatment, over 60% of the approved and pre-new drug application candidates are natural products or synthetic molecules based upon natural product molecular skeletons. Strikingly, ginsenosides act as a promising therapeutic target by virtue of its pharmacological activities such as immune adjustment, anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, and protection of the heart and cerebral vessels. 20(S) ginsenoside Rh2 vs. 20(R) ginsenoside Rh2 There are two stereoisomeric forms of ginsenoside Rh2, namely 20(S) ginsenoside Rh2 and 20(R) ginsenoside Rh2. Relative to the (20R) ginsenoside Rh2, (20S) ginsenoside Rh2 has higher cytotoxic activity towards cancer cells. In a previously reported study, the half maximal inhibitory concentration values of 20(S) ginsenoside Rh2 and 20(R) ginsenoside Rh2 in A549 cells are 45.7 and 53.6 µM, respectively. The underlying mechanisms of ginsenoside Rh2 against tumor Mechanically, the anti-tumor effects of ginsenoside Rh2 are realized by enhancing the body’s immune activity to regulate microenvironment, inhibiting differentiation, angiogenesis, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells, inducing the apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, superoxide and reactive oxygen species, and reversing the drug resistance via regulating a series of important tumor-related signaling pathway. For instance, ginsenoside Rh2 can activate CD4+ and CD8a+ T lymphocytes, promote their invasion, and enhance the killing effect of lymphocytes on B16-F10 melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Besides, the number of tumor cells in the G0/G1 phase is increased significantly post treatment with ginsenoside Rh2 and 5-FU, by which the expansion and migration of tumor cells are effectively hampered. Additionally, the ginsenoside Rh2 downregulates the levels of drug-resistance-related genes (eg. MRP1, MDR1, LRP and GST), making colorectal cancer cells more sensitive to 5-FU. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rh2 plays multifunctional roles in both tumor treatment and tumor microenvironment immunomodulation, which may become a promising choice of medication for patients with tumors in the future.

1. Introduction Acute lung injury comprises a uniform response of the lung to inflammatory or chemical insults which is commonly caused by systemic illness including sepsis or trauma, infection with pathogens, and toxic gas inhalation. Sepsis-induced acute lung injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing substantial economic, social, and health burdens. Despite advances in knowledge of septic pulmonary pathologies over the years, efficient targeted therapies are still lacking. Notably, NMN administration has been uncovered to be effective in alleviating sepsis-induced acute lung injury, which can reduce cellular inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. 2. The impact of NMN upon macrophage polarization in LPS-induced MH-S cells In mouse alveolar macrophage cell line MH-S treated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), NMN can facilitate the transformation of macrophages from pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype towards the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype to promote inflammatory resolution and tissue repair, as evidenced by the downregulation of M1 phenotype-associated markers (iNOS and CD86+ F4/80+) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6) as well as the upregulation of M2 phenotype-related markers (Arg1 and CD86+ F4/80+) and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-10) post NMN administration. 3. The alleviation of LPS-induced lung injury post NMN administration In vitro, NMN represses the apoptosis and production of pro-inflammatory factors in LPS-stimulated MH-S cells. In vivo, NMN explicitly ameliorates LPS-induced pathological alterations, encompassing thickened alveolar wall, inflammatory cell infiltration, septa swelling, and erythrocyte exudation, in a murine septic model. 4. The association of SIRT1/NF-κB signaling activation with NMN-mediated macrophage polarization SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the lung protection of NMN, as manifested by the elevated expression of SIRT1 as well as the reduced acetylation and phosphorylation of NF-κB-p65 post NMN treatment. Repression of SIRT1/NF-κB signaling offsets NMN-mediated M2 macrophage polarization. SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 decreases the expression of SIRT1, yet increases the expression of acetylated and phosphorylated NF-κB-p65 in septic mice pretreated with NMN. In contrast to NMN, EX-527 overtly promotes the expression levels of M1 macrophage-associated markers (iNOS and CD86) while inhibiting those of M2 phenotype-related markers (Arg1 and CD206). 5. Conclusion NMN can effectively ameliorate LPS-induced acute lung injury through modulating macrophage polarization via SIRT1/NF-κB signalling pathway, providing a novel therapeutic direction for sepsis-induced acute lung injury. 6.
