What Is NMN — and What Is the Difference Between NMN and NAD+?Updated an hour ago
Codeage Liposomal NMN 1000 delivers 1,000mg of NMN (β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) per serving — one of the highest-potency NMN formulas in the Codeage range. NMN is one of the most researched compounds in the cellular longevity space, and understanding the relationship between NMN and NAD+ is key to understanding how this ingredient is used in dietary supplement formulations.
What Is NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)?
NMN, or β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, is a naturally occurring molecule found in trace amounts in certain foods — including edamame, broccoli, avocado, and cabbage. It belongs to a class of compounds known as nucleotides and is classified as a precursor to NAD+ — meaning the body uses NMN as a building block in the biological pathway that produces NAD+.
NMN is one of several NAD+ precursors used in dietary supplement formulations. Other well-known precursors include NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) and niacin (Vitamin B3).
What Is NAD+?
NAD+, or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism and is involved in numerous biological processes studied in the context of cellular longevity research. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age — a well-documented phenomenon in the scientific literature.
You can learn more about NAD+ and cellular metabolism at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements.
What Is the Relationship Between NMN and NAD+?
NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+ in the biosynthesis pathway. When NMN is consumed as a dietary supplement, it enters cells and is converted into NAD+ through enzymatic processes. This makes NMN supplementation one approach to supporting NAD+ levels in the body.
