you may control your weight control what you eat build daily routines maintain a healthy lifestyle
and healthy look but one thing you can’t control or change is the passing of time
your age some may look for help in the form of anti-aging powders or pills one hot trend is nmn supplements
nicotinamide mononucleotide is advertised by many companies at a range of affordable prices
dr sheen ichiro amai at washington university school of medicine in st louis is a leader on nmn research the focus of his lab is basic mechanics of aging and longevity
his research indicates nmn can possibly slow signs of aging boost
energy and rejuvenate metabolism nmn is remarkable because it really increases this essential compound nad nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and this compound nad is required to maintain our energy and our metabolism regulating
nad is very important to activate these enzymes sirtuins and the saturns absolutely require this compound nad for their enzymatic activities
and then regulate a metabolism and eventually the process of aging and longevity when nad levels an increase in our organs and the tissues then our body functions are improved
this essential compound nad is really declining overage
so basically our body is losing energy over time that’s why when we supplement nmn which increases energy levels that really significantly improves our body functions
but when it comes to supplements on the market he shares a stern warning
because as far as i can tell there are only two sources of nmn which have been extensively tested in both rodents and humans and one is unfortunately not commercially available
this particular company is providing nmn as an only research reagent
the other company is providing a commercially available product but the bottom line is that right now
the production of nm is not cheap sure
nmn is a natural chemical compound our bodies produce nmn and it’s found in produce
we eat like broccoli cabbage avocado cucumber and edamame
but dr amay says manufacturing
nmn is not easy
he won’t name what he says is a true consumer product or company
because
he won’t endorse a product but he says
the price tag for what he calls a real nmn nutraceutical is not considered affordable for everyone costing an individual many thousands of dollars every year
dr amay is considered an authority on the matter
he is the first researcher to prove that nmn works in mice
our lab demonstrated that giving nmn to mice over 12 months shown in a remarkable anti-aging effect
he says daily nmn intake would provide a person with a metabolism that’s 10 to 20 years younger
so dr amay launched a small clinical trial with what he calls a real and true
nmn nutraceutical not a supplement
the dose is a 250 milligram per day for eight to ten weeks details of the first trial are not released as its pending publication
but based on the results amai is principal
investigator of a second larger nmn clinical trial now underway
the idea is to increase the quality of life of people as they get older increasing productive aging as his studies continue
dr amay says
people around the world are investing in the same nutraceutical he’s investigating
there are already thousands of people who are taking nmm
we need to prove the efficacy scientifically in human clinical trial
