Episode 53: NMN and Longevity Part 1: The Science Behind Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
In this episode, we explore Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), a molecule that's generating buzz in the world of longevity science. We’ll delve into the science behind NMN, how it works in the body, and why it might be a key player in future anti-aging therapies. From cellular aging to enhancing both lifespan and healthspan, we’ll uncover the potential of NMN in supporting everything from reproduction to DNA repair, cognitive function, and metabolic health.
Starting with why this topic is crucial in our quest for longevity, we’ll discuss how NMN functions as a direct precursor to NAD+, a molecule vital for cellular repair and reducing inflammation. We’ll also explore how NMN supports mitochondrial function, protects against oxidative stress, and aids in DNA repair. Additionally, we’ll cover the latest research on NMN's impact on metabolic health, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health, along with its role in delaying or reversing cellular senescence, a key driver of aging and age-related diseases.
Whether you're new to this concept or looking to deepen your knowledge, this episode offers valuable insights into the ever-evolving world of longevity science. Don’t miss this deep dive into how NMN might be a game-changer for your health and vitality.
