Bryan Johnson is one of the most famous biohackers today. The millionaire has spent years experimenting with different protocols to slow down aging, achieving spectacular results. One of his favourite supplements is NMN. In this article, I will discuss all its positive effects.
How It Works
Simply explained, NMN increases NAD+ levels. NAD+ is a coenzyme that gradually decreases as we age and plays a key role in several of the body’s most important metabolic processes.
So, why don’t we supplement directly with NAD+? It’s simple: our body cannot easily absorb NAD+, making its consumption a waste of time and money (something similar happens with Arginine supplementation; the body cannot effectively absorb it, but if we consume Citrulline, our body will “transform” it into Arginine).
Now that we understand why we should consume NMN instead of NAD+, let’s explain the positive effects that NMN supplementation, which consequently increases NAD+ levels, would have.
Positive Effects
– Improves Mitochondrial Activity: Enhances the body’s energy production, making us feel more energetic, increasing fat loss, and boosting the immune system.
– Increases Strength and Endurance: Thanks to improved mitochondrial activity.
– Improves Blood Circulation: Reduces blood pressure and enhances cardiovascular health.
– Improves Glucose Metabolism: Enhances insulin sensitivity, thus helping with conditions like Type 2 diabetes.
– Slows Aging: Can help prevent diseases caused by DNA aging.
– Boosts Immune System: Increases white blood cell production and improves their function.
How to Use It
I recommend using around 500mg per day, divided into two doses: one an hour after breakfast and the other an hour after lunch or dinner.
Final Thoughts
Now that you know all the positive effects of NMN and why it is one of the favourite supplements of biohackers and millionaires like Bryan Johnson… what are you waiting for to start using it?
