Introduce
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a precursor substance of the coenzyme NAD+ with important biological functions. In the food field, NMN has been studied and applied in some functional foods.
The following are some potential applications of NMN in the food field:
Anti-aging: NMN can be converted to NAD+ in cells, which plays an important role in energy metabolism and cell repair. Several studies have shown that NMN supplementation can increase intracellular NAD+ levels, which can help improve cell function and slow down the aging process. Therefore, NMN is considered to have anti-aging potential and may be used in certain anti-aging functional foods.
Energy metabolism: NAD+ plays an important role in energy metabolism and is involved in intracellular redox reactions.NMN supplementation can increase intracellular NAD+ levels, which can help to promote energy metabolism and normal cellular function. Therefore, NMN may be studied and applied in some functional foods for energy metabolism regulation.
