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. In young cells and tissues, NAD⁺ levels are higher, which is associated with better physical performance and cognitive abilities as well as more effective cell regeneration and repair. 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 fall by up to 50%. This results in slower cell production and ageing.

1-MNA, by optimizing NAD⁺ levels, represents a new approach to this process.
