===Dosage ===
Human studies have indicated that a dosage of 1000 mg over 10 days can raise NAD levels about two-fold, and dosages as high as 2000 mg can triple the amount. However, the long-term safety, efficacy, and optimal dosage of NMN are still under investigation, and more comprehensive studies are needed to establish concrete guidelines for NMN supplementation. {{Citation needed}}
