What Is NMN?
NMN (β-nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a naturally occurring precursor to NAD+, a coenzyme found in every cell that helps turn food into energy. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which is why NMN has become one of the most popular healthy-aging supplements.*
Why Morning Works Best for Most People
Your body’s energy production follows a daily rhythm. Taking NMN in the morning fits that rhythm and makes NMN part of the start of your day, alongside breakfast or your morning coffee. It’s also the easiest time to remember.
Most people avoid taking NMN late in the evening simply because it’s an energy-focused supplement. If the morning doesn’t work for you, early afternoon is the next best option.
Should You Take NMN With Food?
NMN can be taken with or without food. Our label suggests first thing in the morning with a full glass of water. If capsules sit better with food, take them with breakfast instead.
How Much NMN Should You Take?
Most human research on NMN uses daily amounts between 250mg and 900mg. Our 500mg serving (two capsules) sits in the middle of that range. Always follow your label and don’t exceed the recommended serving.
