β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a molecule naturally found in the body and is a direct precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a crucial coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair. Interest in NMN as a supplement for aging prevention arises from research demonstrating that NAD+ levels decline with age, which may contribute to the aging process and age-related diseases. Animal studies, especially in mice, have shown that NMN supplementation can increase NAD+ levels, improve various markers of metabolic and vascular health, enhance physical activity, and even extend lifespan in some cases. These findings have made NMN a subject of significant scientific interest as a potential anti-aging intervention.

However, human data are still limited. Early clinical trials indicate that NMN supplementation is safe and well-tolerated, and may modestly improve some aspects of metabolism and cardiovascular function. No large-scale, long-term studies have yet proven that NMN supplementation delays aging or extends human lifespan. Therefore, while the use of NMN is based on a plausible scientific rationale and promising preclinical results, the strength of evidence in humans remains preliminary, justifying a moderate-low score (2/5). NMN is not a traditional remedy and its use is supported primarily by recent scientific investigation rather than historical practice.
