New to NMN: 5 Common Questions Answered

Q1: Why is it recommended that I take my NMN before breakfast?
A: It increases absorption - try taking with some yoghurt, or even better some extra virgin olive oil. Oleic acid, one of the ingredients in olive oil, is also shown to activate the SIRTUINS, the so-called longevity genes.


Q2: Should I take one capsule in the morning and one in the afternoon?
A: No the evidence shows you should take your NMN in the morning to sync your NMN consumption with your Circardian rhythms.

Q3: How much NMN should I take?
A: For those younger than 35, you can start with 250mg/day to 500mg and see how you feel. If you're older than 35, most customers choose to use 1000mg/day (1 gram).


Q4: Should I break down the capsule for better absorption?
A: There are actually no studies showing that sublingual powder or powder intake results in better absorption than the capsule. Our capsules are veggie based, and will break down quickly in your body, releasing the NMN. 


Q5: What can amplify the effect of NMN supplementation?
A: Along with your NMN, take one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in the morning. Oleic acid, one of the ingredients in olive oil, is also shown to activate the SIRTUINS, the so-called longevity genes.
