Additionally, it's noteworthy that two MIB-626 trials utilized a twice per day administration regimen. This dosing schedule is significant because it could potentially offer more consistent NAD+ level support throughout the day, although the specific implications of this frequency in relation to circadian rhythms and overall efficacy remain an area for further research.{{pmid|35182418}}{{pmid|36740954}}

===Risks of NMN Supplementation===
While NMN supplementation holds promise due to its potential anti-aging benefits and ability to enhance cellular metabolism, it is crucial to be aware of the potential risks involved. Here are some risks and considerations based on current knowledge and research:
*'''Limited Human Studies:''' Most of the studies on NMN have been conducted in animal models, and there is limited data on its effects in humans. Therefore, the safety and efficacy of NMN supplementation in humans are not fully understood, and caution is advised until more research is conducted.
*'''Potential Interaction with Medications''': The interaction of NMN with various medications is not well studied, and there could be potential risks when combined with certain drugs. Individuals on medication should consult with a healthcare professional before considering NMN supplementation.
*'''[[Methyl Donor Deficiency]]''': There are theoretical concerns regarding NMN’s potential to deplete methyl groups in the body, which could impact various biological processes, including DNA methylation and neurotransmitter synthesis.
*'''Over-Supplementation Risks''': Excessive supplementation of NMN may lead to unknown side effects due to the lack of long-term human studies. Over-supplementation might also disrupt the natural balance of NAD+ and its related compounds in the body, potentially leading to unforeseen consequences.
*'''Purity and Quality Concerns''': The purity and quality of NMN supplements can vary, and impurities or contaminants in the supplements pose additional risks. It is essential to choose high-quality, reputable brands and sources for NMN supplements to minimize risks associated with impurities and contaminants.
