Niacin Versus 1-MNA

Why I only take small amount of niacin…

1-MNA, or 1-methylnicotinamide, is a compound naturally produced in our bodies, mainly in the liver, as a byproduct of niacin metabolism. While it’s present in vitamin B3-rich foods, these dietary sources add only a small amount of 1-MNA to our bodies.

1-MNA operates at the cellular level to help balance key molecular pathways involved in NAD regulation, energy production, vascular function, oxidative stress management, and longevity.

Safely Supports NAD Levels While Regulating NNMT Enzymes

1-MNA safely boosts NAD levels in cells while avoiding issues with NNMT, an enzyme linked to diseases like cancer, obesity, heart disease, and dementia. 1-MNA helps balance NAD and NNMT to optimize NAD levels.

1-MNA is crucial for energy within cells and helps cells use their energy stores more efficiently.

Reduces Inflammatory Proteins

By controlling the NNMT enzyme, 1-MNA lowers certain inflammatory proteins and cytokines, which are tied to age-related diseases

SupportsHealthyBloodVessels

1-MNA promotes cardiovascular health by managing oxidative stress.

Supports Longevity and Sirtuin Upregulation

1-MNA increases the stability of sirtuins, proteins that help regulate the body’s cellular health and aging process.
