How It Works

Inhibits NNMT enzyme, blocking NAD+ conversion to 1-methylnicotinamide. Preserves intracellular NAD+ pools, enhancing mitochondrial function, oxidative capacity, and energy expenditure.

Key Benefits

  • 35-40% reduction in fat mass (animal models)
  • Increased resting energy expenditure
  • Improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance
  • 50-60% reduction in fasting insulin
  • Enhanced mitochondrial function
