1-MNA is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body. It is formed as a result of the metabolism of niacin. Niacin takes part in the synthesis of the coenzymes NAD+ and NADP+, which are found in numerous cells and are involved in a range of important processes in the body. As we age, our body’s ability to convert niacin to 1-MNA decreases and the amount of coenzyme NAD+ drops as well. This process starts after the age of 30. It has been confirmed that between the ages of 40 and 60, NAD+ levels go down by up to 50%. This results in slower cell production and ageing.
In young cells and tissues, NAD+ levels are higher, which translates into good physical activity and cognitive function as well as greater potential for cell regeneration.
1-MNA, which optimizes NAD+ levels, constitutes a new approach to this process. The molecule is patented (EP 1713480).

1-MNA in nature
1-MNA also occurs in natural sources and is found in a few food products in the diet. The richest known natural sources of 1-MNA are Wakame brown algae (Undaria pinnatifida) and green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis).
In order to supply with food an amount of 1-MNA equivalent to 1 capsule of the ENDOTELIO dietary supplement, approximately 1 kg of Wakame algae or green tea leaves would need to be consumed daily.
Thanks to our research, we were able to synthesize this valuable substance and demonstrate its safety, obtaining a positive opinion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)* and an authorization for the so-called “novel food.” As a result, we have developed the innovative dietary supplement ENDOTELIO.
