NMN Vs NR For Longevity | Comparing NAD Booster Supplements

NMN and NR are both NAD boosters...so which is better? In this video I will discuss the difference between NAD, NMN and NR, explaining how they work to increase lifespan and improve your overall health.

NAD is also important for maintaining your DNA to protect you from ageing and disease. Unfortunately, your levels of NAD naturally decline as you get older Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide (NMN) is a precursor of NAD, & Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a precursor of NMN You can take both NMN and NR orally and they both move into your bloodstream and get taken up into all of your cells. NR is nice and small, so it gets taken up into your cells via a transporter, but NMN is medium sized and sometimes it can be taken up your cells...but sometimes it needs to be broken down into NR before it can move into your cells. ANYWAY, once it’s in the cell, NR turns into NMN, NMN turns into NAD, and NAD works to make more energy and it also activates sirtuins, which slow down the ageing process. Studies have shown that Yeast strains can live 30% longer when given NR, and mice have been shown to live 9% longer when given NR. Those mice also had more energy, less inflammation, and were generally healthier than the mice that didn’t receive NR NMN vs NR Website https://www.nmn.com/precursors/nmn-vs-nr Sirtuins and NAD boosters https://www.nature.com/articles/nrm.2016.93 2018 Review of NMN and NR https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550413117306708 About NAD https://www.aboutnad.com/nad-precursors NR is orally bioavailable in humans and mice https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27721479/ NR increases lifespan in mice https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27127236/ NMN & NR research summary https://blog.insidetracker.com/nr-nmn-longevity-supplements-work-humans Similar studies with similar results have been seen with NMN. In terms of humans, there hasn’t been a lot of research yet. All we know is that taking 250-500mg of either NR or NMN orally will greatly increase your NAD levels. The main difference between NMN and NR is the size. Because NR is smaller, it is cheaper to make in a laboratory so it’s probably cheaper to purchase.
