nicotinamide mononucleotide
Indications:
- proposed as anti-aging substance [1]
Mechanism of action:
- product of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase
- increases in vivo levels of NAD [2]
- activates SIRT1 activity [1]
- increases capillary density & blood flow in skeletal muscle of old mice via activation of SIRT1
- NMN mimics & augments exercise by inhibiting NICD-NOTCH (in mice) [2]
- increases endurance in old mice [2]
