The anti-aging principle of NMN is mainly based on its ability to improve the level of NAD+ in the body, and then promote cell energy metabolism, DNA repair and other key biological processes, so as to achieve the effect of anti-aging, which is the most popular “cellular level” anti-aging method.
NAD+ plays a crucial role in the human body, as it is a key regulator of several life activities such as cellular energy metabolism, material metabolism and immune system.
With the increase of age, the level of NAD+ in the human body will gradually decline, which is one of the important reasons for aging.
NMN can be converted into NAD+ through a series of biochemical reactions in human body, and NAD+ is an important coenzyme in a variety of biocatalactic reactions in human body, participating in several key processes such as cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair.
After entering the human body, NMN can directly converted into NAD+, thus supplementing the deficiency of NAD+ in the body.
Anti-aging mechanism of NMN
NMN may also indirectly improve the efficiency of NAD+ synthesis by promoting the activity of key enzymes in the NAD+ synthesis pathway.
Promote cell energy metabolism:
NAD+ plays a key role in cellular energy metabolism, participating in processes such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to provide energy to cells.
By increasing the level of NAD+, NMN can promote cell energy metabolism and improve cell vitality and function.
Enhanced DNA repair:
NAD+ is also involved in the DNA repair process, which is important for maintaining the stability of the genome and preventing cell aging.
By increasing the level of NAD+, NMN can enhance the DNA repair ability of cells and reduce the occurrence of DNA damage and mutation.
Activate the longevity protein Sirtuins:
Sirtuins are a class of NAD+ dependent protein deacetylases, which have many functions such as regulating cell metabolism and delaying aging.
By increasing the level of NAD+, NMN can activate the activity of Sirtuins, thus playing an anti-aging role.
Improve cardiovascular health:
Studies have shown that NMN can improve cardiovascular health by increasing NAD+ levels, including lowering blood pressure and improving heart function.
Boost immunity:
NMN may also improve immunity by enhancing the activity and function of immune cells, reducing the occurrence of infection and inflammation.
Promote neuron growth:
NMN also has a protective effect on the nervous system, promoting neuron growth and repairing damaged neurons.
