NMN Powder, also known as Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, is a supplement that helps to increase NAD+ levels in the body. This brings many benefits. It is not for nothing that it has become an increasingly popular supplement.
NMN can particularly help in increasing NAD+ levels, which decrease by as much as 50% from the age of 30 to 60. The consequences this has for the body include a reduction in energy, aging, and diabetes. NMN powder can reduce the decline in NAD+ levels, thereby counteracting aging.
But are you now wondering: how does NMN powder work? We are happy to explain how you can take NMN powder in the best way, so you can experience the best results. Additionally, we will discuss how the body absorbs NMN powder and briefly mention the benefits of NMN powder.
Intake of NMN powder
To be able to experience the optimal results of NMN powder, it is important to take it in the right way NMN powder to handle, and to choose one that best suits you. There are a total of two methods of intake; with water or food or sublingually. Sublingual is a form of intake where the NMN powder is absorbed into the body under the tongue.
What is sublingual administration?
Sublingual intake means that the NMN powder is placed under the tongue. With this method of NMN powder intake, the powder is absorbed into the body the fastest. The term 'sublingual' comes from Latin and means 'under the tongue', where sub (under) and lingua (tongue) mean.
The way this sublingual intake works is through the thin mucous membranes that are present directly under the tongue. Through this method, the substance is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This is possible because this area is rich in blood vessels, allowing the substance to be quickly absorbed into the blood.
Sublingual administration ensures faster absorption of the active ingredients of NMN powder, as it avoids the first-pass effect. This means that the NMN powder bypasses the stomach and liver, where it can be broken down or metabolized.
This method is especially useful for substances that need to act quickly, such as painkillers or supplements like NMN powder. How is that possible? Because the effect starts faster than with oral intake. Sublingual intake is also a useful method for people with swallowing difficulties.
NMN powder intake via the traditional method
The more conventional way of taking NMN powder is to mix it into food or water. The NMN powder can be mixed into foods such as custard, yogurt, or a (protein) shake. Take a bowl with custard or yogurt or fill a blender with your favorite ingredients. Mix the NMN powder into the food until it is fully blended. To take the NMN powder with water, fill a glass with water and deposit the desired amount of NMN powder into the glass, stir briefly until the powder is completely dissolved, and you can drink it. The advantage of taking NMN powder with food or drink is that your body absorbs it quickly and you don't taste the NMN powder.
The method of intake affects the absorption
The method of intake of NMN powder affects the speed at which it is absorbed into the body. Despite the fact that NMN powder is quickly absorbed into the body after intake, one of the two methods is faster than the other: sublingual.
When taken orally, the NMN powder is absorbed in the intestine and converted into NAD+ in the cells. To reach the intestine, it must first pass through the stomach and liver. This makes it take much longer to be absorbed into the blood. With sublingual intake, the NMN enters the bloodstream directly through the mucous membranes, allowing for faster and more efficient absorption. Once in the bloodstream, it can be transported throughout the body to the cells, where it is converted into NAD+. The increased NAD+ levels support various biological processes.
- Stimulating mitochondrial function
- Improvement of DNA repair capacity
- Promotion of healthy aging
