Niacinamide/Nicotinamide, NR, NMN, or NAD, which one should you take? Confused? Here is the answer

Niacinamide/Nicotinamide, NR, NMN, or NAD. Which one should you be taking?

There is a 3 step process for your body to make NAD and get it into your cells. Here are the steps and what you need to know.

3RD STEP PRECURSOR - niacinamide or nicotinamide - is a form of vitamin B3 found in food and used as a dietary supplement and medication. From niacinamide or nicotinamide, we make nicotinamide riboside.

2ND STEP PRECURSOR - NR or nicotinamide riboside can help raise low NAD+ levels. From NR, we make nicotinamide mononucleotide.

1ST STEP PRECURSOR - NMN or nicotinamide mononucleotide is a nucleotide derived from nicotinamide riboside. From NMN, we make NAD or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme central to metabolism and the FINAL molecule needed for cellular function! In other words, NAD is the molecule you need, BUT you CANNOT TAKE NAD because the molecule itself is TOO BIG to make it through the cellular membrane of the cell, so which one do I need to take? NMN is the route to take and here is why!

WHAT IS NAD & WHY DO THE LEVELS MATTER
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a coenzyme central to metabolism. Found in all living cells, NAD is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adenine nucleobase and the other nicotinamide

NAD deficiencies are involved in six out of nine hallmarks of aging. Sub-optimal NAD levels increase the risk of age-related diseases such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, kidney, neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. Supplementation, diet, and exercise are the best ways to boost NAD levels.
