Understanding NAD: the Assimilation of Precursors‚ its Generation in vivo‚ and its Effects on Aging and Human Health
NAD+ levels are at their peak when we are young‚ but they decline as we age‚ draining our energy and exposing us to nearly every age-related dysfunction.
In the 1990’s LIDTKE began providing prescription NAD+ to pharmacies. The medical potential of NAD+ was clear‚ particularly for problems of neurological decline. Unfortunately the technology did not yet exist to significantly boost NAD+ levels in our muscle and brain cells‚ where it was most needed. Hence‚ NAD+ never seemed to live up to its potential.
NMN works in an entirely new way. NMN is a precursor molecule that passes through our cell walls quite easily‚ where our cells can then manufacture and boost NAD+ levels. NMN may not be the first precursor molecule discovered‚ but it absorbs faster into a variety of bodily tissues than other NAD+ precursors.[1] More importantly‚ after many decades of research‚ NMN appears to be living up to the NAD+ promise.
NMN is found in our normal diet‚ it is true‚ in trace amounts (1 mg per kg of food)‚ However‚ the small amount found in food only helps to slow the decline of our NAD+ levels‚ and it is not nearly enough to boost NAD+ to youthful levels. Clearly‚ we need to supplement as we age. Coincidentally‚ a human clinical trial has confirmed the safety of NMN in much higher than common dietary amounts‚ and optimal levels may still prove to be higher than currently being recommended.
