Several interventions have recently emerged to reverse rather than just attenuate aging. By Jonathan D. Grinstein, Ph.D. There’s a lot of talk these days about stopping or slowing down aging. But what about rejuvenation — the reversal of aging? Can we actually turn back the clock to become biologically younger? Anti-aging vs. Rejuvenation First things […]
Research shows that taking nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) improves intestine bacteria composition and telomere length. By Brett J. Weiss. Highlights NMN doubles the telomere length of humans over a 90-day period of time. Giving the compound to mice also reduces microbiome bacteria species diversity. As people get older, the repeated DNA sequences at the ends of […]
Just like the genomes in the nuclei of our cells, these energy-generating structures have their own set of DNA, which is a proxy measure for mitochondrial function and has been associated with several aging-related diseases. By Brett J. Weiss Highlights Japanese researchers examine the role of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on human mitochondria. Boosting nicotinamide adenine […]
Taking NMN by under-the-skin injections or oral consumption improves immune cells that attack cancer and virally infected cells in mice. By Brett J. Weiss Highlights NMN increases natural killer cell capabilities to destroy cancer cells (cytotoxicity) without increasing immune cell numbers. The study supports that taking NMN may be a way to rejuvenate natural killer […]
Mid-aged mice treated for 20 weeks with nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) – a precursor to a vital molecule – show improved fertility potential and reduced aging of ovaries. By Jonathan D. Grinstein, Ph.D. Highlights Forty-week-old mice treated with NMN for 20 weeks exhibited improvements to their reproductive capacity. This NMN treatment regimen improved the number of […]
Together with exercise training, NMN supplementation increases the endurance performance of middle-aged athletes by improving aerobic capacity. Article first appeared in https://nmn.com Summary No adverse health effects while taking up to 1200 mg/day of NMN for six weeks were reported. In middle-aged runners, supplementing 600 to 1200 mg/day of NMN for six weeks improves muscle […]
