# Nicotinamide is then methylated by the liver to form N1-methylnicotinamide, which can be excreted in the urine. This methylation process consumes a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), the primary methyl donor in the body. | # Nicotinamide is then methylated by the liver to form N1-methylnicotinamide, which can be excreted in the urine.

The potential concern is that excessive NMN supplementation might lead to a decrease in the body's available methyl groups, which play crucial roles in various biological processes including DNA methylation and neurotransmitter synthesis. | The potential concern is that excessive NMN supplementation might lead to a decrease in the body's available methyl groups, which play crucial roles in various biological processes including DNA methylation and neurotransmitter synthesis. | ||
