The Science of NMN
This page is informational. We make no medical claims. NMN is a dietary supplement, not a medication.
What is NAD+
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a molecule found in every cell of the human body. It plays a fundamental role in cellular metabolism, including energy production and the regulation of certain enzymes involved in cellular maintenance.
NAD+ levels tend to naturally decline with age. This observation has generated growing scientific interest in recent years, with ongoing research at universities and institutions around the world.
What is NMN
NMN (β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a direct precursor of NAD+. This means the body can use NMN as a raw material to synthesize NAD+ at the cellular level.
NMN is a molecule found naturally in small amounts in certain foods. In supplement form, it is presented in standardized doses with controlled purity.
What is known — and what should not be promised
Research on NMN and NAD+ is an active and evolving field. There are studies in animal models and some preliminary human studies exploring their role in cellular energy metabolism.
What should not be promised: NMN is not a medication. It is not approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Claims about life extension, aging reversal, DNA repair, or guaranteed results should not be made.
What can be said: NMN supports NAD+ levels. It supports cellular energy metabolism. It can be incorporated as part of a healthy wellness routine.
Why ingredient quality matters
Not all NMN is created equal. The NMN supplement market has grown rapidly, and with it, significant variability in quality, purity, and ingredient traceability.
The factors that determine the quality of an NMN supplement include:
- Active ingredient purity: NMN purity directly affects the amount of active molecule present in each dose. Novera uses BONTAC® β-NMN with certified 99.9% purity.
- Origin and traceability: Knowing where and how the ingredient was manufactured is essential. BONTAC® is manufactured in Japan under international GMP standards.
- Verifiable documentation: A serious supplier can provide the COA (Certificate of Analysis) per batch, Certificate of Free Sale, technical data sheet, and heavy metal test results. Novera can provide all of this documentation.
- Transparent formula: Clear ingredients, exact dosage, no unnecessary fillers or excipients.
BONTAC® β-NMN
BONTAC® is the reference standard in pharmaceutical-grade NMN. Manufactured in Japan using high-precision enzymatic synthesis processes, it is the ingredient of choice for brands that prioritize documented quality over price.
Novera exclusively uses BONTAC® β-NMN in all its products.
Frequently asked questions about the science
Does NMN require a medical prescription?
NMN is a dietary supplement and does not require a prescription. However, if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.
When should NMN be taken?
Most usage protocols recommend taking it in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach. Please refer to your product label for specific instructions.
What is the difference between NMN and NMN + Resveratrol?
NMN alone provides the NAD+ precursor. The NMN + Resveratrol formula combines NMN with Resveratrol, a widely studied polyphenol. Both options are available in the Novera catalog.
