Benefits

health-benefits
  • Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a molecule that the body produces for energy production and metabolism. NMN supplements are used to power the body and regulate various cell functions that help repair DNA, slow aging, and prolong life.
  • NMN has brain-protective effects, which promote cognitive function in both humans and canines. It also has anticancer properties that protect the cells against oxidative damage.
  • NMN supplements have the potential to prevent diabetes and reverse the damage to the arteries due to age, thereby promoting heart health.

Risks

  • Although various studies found that NMN works on mice, evidence of the benefits of NMN supplements in humans and dogs is still limited and more research studies are needed to determine the long-term side effects.
  • In high doses, NMN supplements can potentially increase the level of creatine and uric acid in dogs.
