Body and drug basics
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
Last updated
A precursor to NAD+ that is converted by the body into NAD+.
Why it matters here
The corpus files NMN under the NAD+ Boosting / Precursor Peptides record rather than giving it a page of its own, so this entry is where the word is defined and that record is where the evidence sits.
What it is not
Not NAD+ itself. It is one of the molecules the body converts into NAD+, which is why it is taken instead.
Also called
- nmn
- nicotinamide mononucleotide
- beta-nicotinamide mononucleotide
- b-nmn
