Scientists have found that long-term supplementation with NMN, an NAD+ precursor, dramatically slows reproductive aging in mice by improving mitochondrial function and alleviating senescence [1]. Reproductive aging affects women relatively early in life, but like other types of aging, this one has been considered normal until recently, and no serious attempts have been made to...

A group of researchers successfully alleviated aspects of skin aging by treating skin cells with the NAD precursor nicotinamide [1]. Hard work done by skin leads to its burnout Skin aging might not be lethal, apart from the increased risk of skin cancer, but it's surely conspicuous, frustrating, and emblematic of organismal aging. Being our...

Researchers publishing in Aging have discovered that an energy metabolism compound is associated with a protein that suppresses amyloid beta in a mouse model of Alzheimer's. The compounds involved The researchers describe nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (Nmnat2) as a key co-factor for energy metabolism. This compound is involved in creating NAD+, which is essential in...

A study published in the Nature journal Aging and Mechanisms of Disease has shown that supplementation with nicotinamide riboside (NR) substantially improves the immune systems of older mice due to its effects on stem cell fate. However, the benefits do not persist after NR is removed. The destiny of blood cells As the researchers explain,...

In this interview with Steve Hill of Lifespan.io, Dr. Brad Stanfield discusses the various forms of niacin along with NAD+ boosters such as NR and NMN, and he touches upon supplements, rapamycin, and other facets of the longevity world. Brad is very active in the community and runs the successful Dr. Brad Stanfield Youtube channel....

Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is part of the B3 vitamin family. Like other forms of vitamin B3, nicotinamide riboside gets converted into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme essential for life. For this reason, it is often called a NAD+ precursor because it is part of the series of chemical steps that are required to create...
