NMN FAQs

1.   What is NMN?

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a naturally occurring compound derived from vitamin B3. It serves as a direct precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and overall metabolic health. NMN is crucial for maintaining NAD+ levels, which decline with age.

2.   What does NMN do?

NMN boosts NAD+ levels, activating key enzymes like sirtuins that regulate DNA repair, cellular health, and metabolic efficiency. It plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial function, protecting against oxidative stress, and slowing age-related decline by supporting efficient cellular processes.

3.   How does NMN work?

NMN is absorbed into cells and converted into NAD+, which fuels numerous biological processes including ATP production, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. These processes are critical for energy metabolism and regulating cellular health, especially in aging cells where NAD+ levels drop significantly.

  • Ribose – simple sugar and carb that forms NRA
  • Nicotinamide – Form of Vitamin B3
  • Niacin – essential human nutrient and form of Vitamin B3
5.   Is NMN safe?

Yes, NMN is safe and well-tolerated. It is a naturally occurring compound in the body, and research has shown it to be effective in boosting NAD+ levels without any significant adverse effects. Clinical trials continue to support its safety for long-term use. Researchers have been doing clinical trials to investigate the safety and efficacy of the molecule in humans for years. These studies are producing amazing results of the positive effects of NMN and its abilities in improving health. Of course, the goal is to develop treatments that slow ageing and reduce age-related diseases.

  • NMN is not a drug!
  • NMN is an organic molecule in DNA that is naturally produced by the body.
  • It is safe for consumption
  • Our NMN is manufactured in NSF Certified facilities
6.   Is NMN the same as taking vitamins and minerals?

Taking NMN is different from taking vitamins and minerals, as they serve distinct roles in cellular processes. NMN acts as a precursor to NAD+, a molecule crucial for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and overall metabolic function. In contrast, vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients that support a wide range of biological functions, including enzyme activity, immune support, and bone health. The absorption pathways also differ—NMN is absorbed and converted into NAD+ within cells, while vitamins and minerals follow different mechanisms for uptake and utilization. NMN specifically targets the enhancement of NAD+ levels, which directly influences mitochondrial function and cellular longevity, unlike general micronutrients.

7.   How is NMN going to help me as an athlete?

There are many benefits of taking NMN as an athlete. Reflexiv+ NMN15000 repairs DNA that has been damaged due to injury, strenuous exercise, illness, etc. and is the key to longevity. It has been shown to help athletes recover from injury quicker and has helped athletes sustain energy through single competitions as well as the long season. A younger, healthier body leads to a longer career! Learn much more here

8.   Why not just take NR or NAD?

While both NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (nicotinamide riboside) are precursors to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), NMN is thought to have a more direct pathway for conversion into NAD+ within cells. Some studies suggest that NMN may be more effective in boosting NAD+ levels and supporting cellular functions. Additionally, taking NR or NAD+ directly is less effective because it cannot easily cross cell membranes, making NMN a more viable option for increasing NAD+ levels. Each compound has its own benefits, but NMN may offer a more efficient route for enhancing NAD+ production.

Reflexiv+ NMN15000 is 99.9% starting active material pure and is able to directly transform into NAD+. After an athlete takes Reflexiv+ NMN, it is absorbed into the blood stream within 10 minutes and converted to NAD+ within 30 minutes!

9 | Why are we just hearing about NMN?

NMN was discovered in the 1960s, but widespread research into its benefits only began in recent years, particularly around its anti-aging and metabolic properties. As research continues to emerge, public awareness is growing. NMN remains relatively unknown in the U.S. due to its niche positioning within the broader supplement market and its association with specialized areas of metabolic and anti-aging research. While NMN plays a crucial role as a precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a coenzyme essential for cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair, the scientific community's focus on NMN has only recently gained momentum. Limited public awareness stems from the slow translation of promising research into mainstream health discourse and the lack of widespread commercial investment or FDA-approved claims.

10.   Is NMN banned in the U.S.?

No, NMN is legal and available as a dietary supplement in the U.S. The FDA has raised questions about its classification due to drug-related studies, but NMN remains on the market and is considered safe for consumption.

11.   Are all NMN products the same?

No!! Not all NMN products are the same! Many NMN products contain impurities or low concentrations of NMN. Our NMN15000 is the only pharmaceutical-grade NMN, processed to ensure 100% purity without contaminants, making it far more effective than most products on the market.

12.   Is Reflexiv+ NMN made in the U.S.A?

​The answer is YES! Reflexiv+ NMN is manufactured here in the U.S. Our products are held to the highest standards of production. We only produce pharma-grade products. This means that it is the highest quality NMN on the market.

13.   What are 'related compounds'?

Because immediate release NMN capsules or powder products do not go through complex manufacturing processes like ours do, those products will not show much of “related compounds” if tested. Ours will. Related compounds are by-products that can form during NMN production. While they aren’t harmful in small amounts, they can reduce the overall effectiveness of the supplement if not properly removed during processing.

14.   Are the terms 'related compounds' and 'Impurities' the same?

No. Though the terms “related compounds” and “Impurities” have been used interchangeably, they are not the same. Related compounds are the compounds that are related to the intended active component, while impurities can include related compounds as well as other contaminants. Related compounds are natural by-products of manufacturing, whereas impurities are harmful substances like heavy metals or toxins. NMN15000 is free of both, ensuring the purest product possible.

15.   Is it more effective to take NAD IV drips?

Taking pure NMN supplements orally is more effective than NAD IV drips because NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+, allowing the body to efficiently convert it into NAD+ at the cellular level. Oral NMN is rapidly absorbed and bypasses the need for invasive procedures, making it more practical and consistent for long-term use. In contrast, NAD IV drips deliver NAD+ directly but are less efficient since NAD+ molecules are too large to easily cross cell membranes, limiting their overall effectiveness. Additionally, NMN supplements offer better bioavailability and convenience.

16.   How Much NMN should I take?

Taking human studies of efficacy and safety into consideration and calculating optimal NMN doses, the recommended dose that adults between 30 and 60 years old is to take 500 mg per day. People over age 65 can safely take 750 mg per day to maximize NMN’s benefits. However, tests in athletes and fitness-minded individuals of all ages have recently shown that taking 1000mg per day is optimal.

17.   Can NMN improve cognitive function?

Yes, research shows that NMN can enhance brain function by supporting mitochondrial health and protecting neurons from damage. This helps improve focus, memory, and overall cognitive performance.

18.  Can NMN help with weight management?

NMN enhances metabolic efficiency by supporting fat oxidation, helping the body burn fat more effectively. This can lead to better weight management and improved energy balance during physical activity.
