The effects of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) and Resveratrol supplementation can vary from person to person. Here is a summary of the observed effects based on various sources:
Before and After Effects of NMN Supplementation:
- Improved Insulin Sensitivity and Heart Function: NMN supplements at specific doses may help improve insulin sensitivity and heart function, and reduce tiredness with few side effects
- Enhanced Energy Metabolism and Physical Activity: NMN supplementation can suppress age-associated weight gain, enhance energy metabolism, and promote physical activity, although research in humans regarding weight loss is still lacking
- Increased NAD+ Levels: A study found that 12 weeks of NMN supplementation significantly increased NAD+ levels in whole blood, which is believed to have various beneficial effects on the body
- Improved Muscle Function and Mobility: NMN supplementation for 12 weeks in men over 65 enhanced muscle function and mobility
- Improved Ventilatory Threshold and Aerobic Capacity: When combined with exercise, NMN supplementation further improves ventilatory threshold and aerobic capacity in a dosage-dependent manner, especially among healthy young and middle-aged people
Before and After Effects of Resveratrol Supplementation:
- Antioxidant Properties: Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that can provide protective benefits for the heart, brain, and body
- Potential Heart Disease Risk Reduction: Although it's noted that people who consume higher amounts of dietary resveratrol do not seem to have a lower risk of heart disease compared to those who consume lower amounts
- Lowering Blood Pressure and Cholesterol: Resveratrol consumption is linked to lowered blood pressure and cholesterol levels, although most research has been conducted in animal and test tube studies
- Improved Exercise Performance and Muscle Recovery: Resveratrol supplementation can improve exercise performance, exhibit anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory effects, and aid in the recovery of muscle damage, inflammation, soreness, muscle power, and anaerobic performance following exercise
- Enhanced Muscle Strength and Endurance Performance: When combined with exercise training, resveratrol supplementation was suggested to improve muscle strength and endurance performance in aged mice, potentially helping to shorten the extent of deterioration accompanying the aging process
Both NMN and Resveratrol have shown potential in improving various health markers and combating age-related issues. However, individual response may vary and it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any supplementation regimen.
