BioStacksHow NMN supports longevity
For longevity support, NMN is a important ingredient backed by research. NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme critical for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. Not to be confused with niacin (vitamin B3) or nicotinamide riboside (NR), which are separate NAD+ precursors.
What dose to look for
Clinical studies typically use 250–1000 mg of nmn. Most human studies use 250–1000 mg/day. 500 mg is the most common supplemental dose. Higher doses (up to 1200 mg) have been used in clinical trials. Supplements that fall short of this threshold are unlikely to match what clinical trials achieved.
Clinical research
NMN has moderate clinical evidence for longevity benefits. Growing body of human trials on NAD+ levels, but long-term health outcomes are still emerging Learn more
