-'''Nicotinamide Mononucleotide''' ('''NMN''' and '''β-NMN''') is a compound found naturally in the cells of our bodies and is integral to several cellular processes. It is closely related to [[Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)|NAD+]], a vital coenzyme essential for a myriad of cellular functions, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. The levels of NAD+ are known to decline as we age, and this decline is associated with aging and various age-related diseases.
+'''Nicotinamide Mononucleotide''' ('''NMN''' and '''β-NMN''') is a compound found naturally in the cells of our bodies and is integral to several cellular processes. NMN is a [[NAD+ Precursor|direct precursor]] to [[NAD+]], a vital coenzyme essential for a myriad of cellular functions. The levels of NAD+ are known to decline as we age, and this decline is associated with aging and various age-related diseases. The has been shown in several clinical trials that by supplementing with NMN, we can boost the levels of NAD+ in the body, potentially counteracting age-related cellular decline and improving overall health. Preliminary studies, mainly in mice, suggest that NMN supplementation could offer a range of health benefits, such as enhanced energy metabolism and improved DNA repair, indicating its potential role in slowing the aging processes.
-NMN is a [[NAD+ Precursor|direct precursor]] to NAD+, meaning it is crucial in the synthesis of this indispensable coenzyme. The hypothesis is that by supplementing with NMN, we can boost the levels of NAD+ in the body, potentially counteracting age-related cellular decline and improving overall health. Preliminary studies, mainly in mice, suggest that NMN supplementation could offer a range of health benefits, such as enhanced energy metabolism and improved DNA repair, indicating its potential role in slowing the aging processes.
 However, while NMN shows significant promise, comprehensive studies determining its long-term safety, effective dosage, and potential side effects in humans are still in progress. NMN is also present in several food sources, including broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, avocados, and edamame, but only in small quantities.
