Reset Your Body Clock: Circadian Rhythm + NMN
�Your circadian rhythm is your 24-hour operating system running sleep/wake, hormones, temperature, and metabolism. Morning light tells the master clock in your brain to start the day; melatonin rises at night to power down.
�Inside each cell, there’s a second clock that runs on NAD⁺, a molecule that fuels energy and activates sirtuin enzymes like SIRT1. NAD⁺ naturally oscillates across the day and it declines with age so the timing signals can get fuzzy.
�NMN is a precursor your body uses to make NAD⁺. Human studies show NMN can raise NAD⁺ levels, and lab research links healthy NAD⁺ dynamics to more robust clock-gene activity and daytime energy metabolism. Think of NMN as support for the cell’s timekeeping not a sleep pill.
�Pro tips: get bright morning light, keep a consistent sleep window, dim lights at night, and take NMN in the morning, ideally with water on an empty stomach or with a light breakfast to sync with daytime NAD⁺ needs.
�This is science-based wellness, not medical advice follow your healthcare pro.
�Your circadian rhythm is the master schedule; NAD⁺ is the cell-level timekeeper. NMN helps maintain NAD⁺, which interacts with core clock proteins (CLOCK/BMAL1/SIRT1). Pair morning NMN with morning light and regular sleep times to keep the system in sync.
