- NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the molecule your cells actually run on. It powers energy production, DNA repair, and cellular resilience. The catch: NAD+ levels drop by up to 50% between your twenties and fifties, which is why so many people are looking for ways to support them.
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a direct precursor to NAD+ — meaning your body converts it into NAD+. It enters cells through its own dedicated transporter and is one step away from becoming NAD+ in the body.
Here's where the science matters: NMN is among the most clinically studied ways to raise NAD+ levels. In randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, a clinically-studied dose of NMN has been shown to significantly increase blood NAD+ levels in healthy middle-aged adults at both 30 and 60 days.†
Taking high-dose of NAD+ directly (over 200+ mg, for example) doesn't have the same body of clinical evidence behind it.
We opted for a thoughtful dose of direct NAD+ for immediate support, and a clinically-studied dose of NMN for supporting NAD+ levels over time. The best of both worlds.*
