In 2016, NMN a Vitamin B3 derivative, was released by Japanese Shinkowa Pharmaceutical, when it first announced availability in the US at Amazon.
Initially discovered,, & published in a study from 1963 by P Chambon, JD Weill, P Mandel on NMN activating new DNA.
NMN is found in fruits and vegetables such as Edamame, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cucumber, & Avocado, at a concentration of about 1 mg per 100g, making it unrealistic as a daily source of 250-500mg.
Numerous published studies have all pointed to incredible benefits including Energy, Endurance, Blood Sugar and blood pressure regulation along with DNA replication, also many have reported better sleep and better mood.
Metro International Biotech in California, is attempting to patent and corner the market on this “SUPPLEMENT” and to turn it into a “prescription”.
All this, despite the fact that it was readily available OTC over-the-counter for 7 years with no side effects, along with endless medical studies and abstracts touting the benefits. Still readily available in Japan.
For us Type 2 Diabetics we have a couple of studies:
1. Overall, improved glucose uptake observed after NMN
