The power of NMN and sports: boost for NAD+
The study demonstrated that both oral NMN supplements and physical activity cause a significant increase in NAD+ levels in the blood. In a clinical study with two dosages of NMN (500 mg and 1000 mg per day), both dosages were found to significantly increase NAD+ levels, depending on the dose. Additionally, exercise combined with NMN resulted in even higher NAD+ values. These findings suggest that NMN supplements and physical activity can be important ways to promote NAD+ levels and thereby health.
Women, men and NAD+: who has the advantage?
The finger-prick NAD+ measurements revealed that there are clear differences in NAD+ levels between men and women, especially before the age of 50. Men were found to have higher average NAD+ levels than women, but after the age of 50, these differences fade. Additionally, there is a clear age-dependent decline in NAD+ levels, which is more pronounced in men than in women. These differences may play a role in understanding aging processes and the development of personalized anti-aging therapies.
Benefits of NMN supplements
- Increased NAD+ levels in the blood, which is essential for energy production and healthy aging.
- Improved response to physical activity, which can contribute to better overall health.
- The possibility for a personalized approach to aging through regular monitoring of NAD+ levels.
Research conclusions
The study shows that NMN supplements are effective in increasing NAD+ levels and that this increase is enhanced by physical activity. The new, affordable testing method offers opportunities for personalized health therapies focused on NAD+ and aging. The findings support the potential of NMN supplementation as an intervention to counteract aging and improve overall vitality.
