Our body has a natural rhythm where NAD levels fluctuate throughout the day rather than remaining constant, closely tied to our circadian rhythms.{{pmid|24051248}} A study by Shin Imai and his team highlighted that NAD plays a crucial role in regulating our body's internal clock. The Sirt-1 gene, which is influenced by NAD, signals our body when it's time to eat or sleep.{{pmid|32369735}} | Our body has a natural rhythm where NAD+ levels fluctuate throughout the day rather than remaining constant, closely tied to our circadian rhythms.{{pmid|24051248}} A study by Shin Imai and his team highlighted that NAD+ plays a crucial role in regulating our body's internal clock.

[[Dr. David Sinclair]] suggests to take NMN in the morning when the natural rise in NAD and [[SIRT1|Sirt-1]] activity should happen. Taking NMN e.g. at night might disrupt the NAD cycle and potentially affecting the sleep or hunger. This can be especially beneficial for frequent travelers trying to adjust to a new time zone, as a morning dose of NMN can help reset the body's internal clock and reduce jet lag. <ref>[[2021-12-27 - Interview Dr. David Sinclair - Huberman Lab Podcast - The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging]]</ref> | [[Dr. David Sinclair]] suggests to take NMN in the morning when the natural rise in NAD+ and [[SIRT1|Sirt-1]] activity should happen.

A recent RCT clinial trial investigated the effects of the time-dependent intake of NMN (250 mg/day) on older adults (≥ 65 years) over 12 weeks. Aging-induced insufficient physical activity and deterioration of physical function result in fatigue. This symptom frequently occurs among the elderly and has been complained by 27–50% of community-dwelling older adults in their daily life. Overall, NMN intake in the afternoon (in contrast to the morning) effectively improved lower limb function and reduced drowsiness in older adults. These findings suggest the potential of NMN in preventing loss of physical performance and improving fatigue in older adults.{{pmid|35215405}} | A recent RCT clinial trial investigated the effects of the time-dependent intake of NMN (250 mg/day) on older adults (≥ 65 years) over 12 weeks.
