NMN
nicotinamide mononucleotide
NAD+ precursor — debated oral bioavailability. Focused on measurable human outcomes vs marketing.
- Half-life
- 30 min
- Out of system
- ~3 h
- Route
- Oral
- Level
- Beginner
Very short-acting — protocols dose 1–2× a day. After the last dose, roughly 97% has cleared in ~3 h (five half-lives) — the window that matters for washouts, bloodwork and surgery.
What NMN is used for
- NAD+ precursor — raises NAD+ levels in some studies
- Reported energy and recovery effects in older adults
- Oral route, no injection
How it's typically used
Typical: 250–500 mg oral, AM with breakfast.
What to watch for
- Oral bioavailability is debated — some research suggests it's broken down to NR first
- Long-term effect on cancer pathways is unclear
- Marketing claims often outrun the evidence
About Longevity
- What they are
- Compounds studied for cellular ageing — mitochondrial function, senescent-cell clearance, telomere and autophagy pathways.
- How they're run
- Mixed routes: some injected in short annual or biannual courses, others taken orally every day.
- What to watch
- Endpoints here are measured in decades, so nobody has human outcome data. Bloodwork and function markers are the only feedback you will get in a realistic timeframe.
