Third Party Testing And Trials

1. David Sinclair’s Research (Harvard Medical School, 2020)

Trial Overview:

Dr. David Sinclair, a prominent researcher in aging and longevity, has conducted significant studies on NMN, focusing on its ability to boost NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels in humans. While Sinclair's earlier work was preclinical, he also shared insights into ongoing clinical trials to study the effects of NMN supplementation on aging and age-related conditions. His research indicates that NMN supplementation could have profound effects on improving cellular health, energy metabolism, and possibly extending lifespan.

Sinclair's group has shown NMN's ability to increase NAD+ levels, potentially improving mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and metabolic health.

2. Keio University, Japan (2020)

Trial Overview:

This trial evaluated the effects of NMN supplementation on human metabolic health. Participants received daily NMN supplementation (250 mg) over 12 weeks. The study found significant improvements in muscle insulin sensitivity in prediabetic women, suggesting that NMN could support metabolic health and possibly delay or prevent type 2 diabetes.

3. University of Tokyo (2020)

Trial Overview:

This study aimed to evaluate NMN’s effects on cardiovascular health in older adults. Participants took NMN supplements, and the results showed improvements in blood vessel function and enhanced energy metabolism, suggesting NMN's potential to improve both metabolic and cardiovascular health in aging individuals.

4.Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), NIH (2021)

Trial Overview:

This trial explored the impact of NMN supplementation on immune function in older adults. The study showed that NMN may help rejuvenate immune function, particularly restoring the efficiency of immune cells that tend to decline with age.

5. University of Washington, USA (2021)

Trial Overview:

This study tested the effects of NMN on endurance and muscle strength in older adults. The results suggested that NMN supplementation improved physical performance by enhancing endurance and muscle strength, providing evidence that NMN may combat age-related muscle degeneration.

6. Upcoming Trials on NMN (2024 and Beyond)

Trial Overview:

Numerous clinical trials are set to further investigate NMN’s role in aging, metabolic health, and its potential to combat age-related diseases. Trials are planned to evaluate long-term effects, optimal dosages, and its efficacy across diverse populations, including both healthy individuals and those with chronic conditions.

Ongoing Trials (2024 and beyond):

Nutritional Impact of NMN on Age-Related Disorders (USA, 2024): This trial will focus on the long-term effects of NMN supplementation in older populations, with a focus on cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and overall aging markers.

Exploring NMN in Metabolic Diseases (Global, 2025): Upcoming trials will investigate the use of NMN in patients with metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance to determine its potential therapeutic effects.

Citation:

ClinicalTrials.gov: Several ongoing studies can be found under NMN-related trials (search "Nicotinamide Mononucleotide"). A search on ClinicalTrials.gov for NMN will provide more up-to-date trial details and outcomes.

These trials and studies highlight the growing interest in NMN as a potential therapeutic intervention for aging, metabolic diseases, and immune health. While some of the results are promising, further large-scale studies are necessary to confirm long-term benefits and establish clear clinical guidelines for NMN use.
