Nicotinamide mononucleotide ("NMN" and "β-NMN") is a nucleotide derived from ribose and nicotinamide. Niacinamide (nicotinamide,) is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin.) As a biochemical precursor of NAD+, it may be useful in the prevention of pellagra.
Its unconcentrated form, niacin, is found in a variety of nutritional sources: Peanuts, Mushrooms (portobello, grilled), Avocados, Green Peas (fresh), and certain fish and animal meats.
In studies [on mice], NMN has shown to reverse age-related arterial dysfunction by decreasing oxidative stress.
The anti-ageing properties will be tested on humans in July 2016.
