NMN is a nucleotide derived from ribose and nicotinamide. Like nicotinamide riboside (Niagen), NMN is a derivative of niacin, and a precursor to NAD+.
NMN Canada: Products are in development, but nicotinamide mononucleotide isn't currently available for sale as a dietary supplement in Canada.
Product Notes:
As we age, the ability of our blood vessels to deliver nutrients to muscles decreases, resulting in a loss of endurance. According to recent research, the naturally-occurring compound NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) boosts metabolism, blood vessel growth, cardiovascular functions, and cell maintenance in mice. Research continues into NMN's anti-aging properties and its potential use for human health.
