*''' | *'''[[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. | *'''Over-Supplementation Risks''': Excessive supplementation of NMN may lead to unknown side effects due to the lack of long-term human studies.
