Why Did I Stop Taking NMN?
NMN is the best-known nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide precursor supplement in the town, and some other supplements such
as Nicotinic Acid( NA), Nicotinamide (Nam) and Tryptophan (Trp). All are
vitamin B3 derivatives, except Tryptophan. It is the kind of amino acid that is
contained in various foods.
Recent study on NR and NA and the result
were NR was in the highest level of circulating NAD+.
Food products in which NMN is present are
avocado, broccoli, cabbage, and tomatoes.
How
is an NAD+ precursor, NMN, better than NR?
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide
mononucleotide (NMN) has never been examined in any clinical studies or in a
clinical lab to find out whether NAD+
has less energy than NR.
Here are some comparisons of NMN and NR in
several ways.
NMN or nicotinamide mononucleotide
supplements on Amazon or in any online shopping app, there are more than
180 NMN supplements from over 30 suppliers, and the number is still on the rise
every week. But only two NR supplement
brands are available.
NMN
Molecule is more efficient than NR
If you have a question about which
supplements are more efficient then here is an answer for that.
NMN is an immediate predecessor to NAD+ and
it directly converts to NAD+ by the action of the enzyme NMNAT.
Whereas NR is an indirect predecessor to NAD+. To synthesize NAD+, NR has
two types to follow,
1. NR first converts to phosphorylation
into NMN, which then converts to NAD+, and another type is
2.
NR must react through a five-stage pathway to NAD+ synthesis (NR → Nam → NAMN+
→ NAAD+ → NAD+) after the five completed pathways the NR will convert into
NAD+. This method is known as the de novo pathway.
And there will be a big problem in the de
novo pathway. This pathway is enzymatically rate-limited.
Which
one is more stable
In both mice and human studies, NR has been
confirmed to be highly unstable and quickly degrade into regular vitamin B3. NR
that degrades into B3 which is restricted to the rate-limited de novo pathway
can’t increase your NAD+ levels above your baseline in your body.
Is
it safe to use NMN
We all know that is NMN
safe is used to increase cellular
levels of NAD. Every supplement has minimal side effects even NMN has some side
effects. Studies in humans have shown that doses up to 1,200mg daily are safe
to consume.
