What human studies have reported
Research relevant to physical function, sleep, metabolism, and cellular NAD⁺.
NMN and the NAD⁺ pathway. NAD⁺ participates in cellular energy transfer, redox reactions, metabolic signaling, DNA-repair activity, and other cellular processes. NMN is a naturally occurring precursor the body can use in NAD⁺ biosynthesis. This defined relationship is one reason NMN has been examined in controlled human research.
Ingredientβ-nicotinamide mononucleotide
PathwayDirect precursor in NAD⁺ biosynthesis
Human findingRepeated increases in circulating NAD⁺-related measures
The findings below are drawn from the broader human NMN literature. Each finding reflects a defined population, dose, duration, and study material. Full study records are maintained in the HealthspanX Evidence Center.
EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGYNicotinamide mononucleotide supplementation enhances aerobic capacity in amateur runners: a randomized, double-blind study
Six-week, four-arm RCT (placebo / 300 / 600 / 1200 mg/day) in 48 amateur runners on ventilatory-threshold and aerobic-capacity measures.

Analysis in reviewFIRST-IN-HUMAN SAFETYEffect of oral administration of nicotinamide mononucleotide on clinical parameters and nicotinamide metabolite levels in healthy Japanese men
First-in-human safety study of single oral NMN doses (100, 250, 500 mg) in ten Japanese men. Well tolerated at all doses; downstream metabolites 2Py and 4Py rose dose-dependently.
