Prime Powders NMNH Dihydronicotinamide Mononucleotide - 120 Capsules
Prime Powders NMNH was formulated to support NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels, an essential coenzyme involved in various cellular processes.
NMNH (Dihydronicotinamide mononucleotide) is also known as reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide. Both NMNH and NMN have been shown to enhance NAD+ levels in the body. NAD+ is a universal coenzyme that plays vital roles in nearly all living organisms functioning in various biological processes such as metabolism, cell signalling, gene regulation and DNA repair.
Research suggests that supplements such as NMNH, may be significantly more effective at boosting NAD+ levels, when compared to that of regular NMN, making it potentially the effective NMN Supplement alternative on the market.
Key Features
What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme central to metabolism. The molecule is a linchpin to the function of the generators of cells — mitochondria. NAD+ not only helps convert food to energy but also plays a crucial role in maintaining DNA integrity and ensures proper cell function to protect our bodies from aging and disease.
NAD+ levels drop significantly as we age, so supplementation to increase NAD+ levels can greatly reduce age related problems and promote healthy aging, cognitive function and immune system health as we grow older.
What is NMNH and is it better than NMN?
According to Robert Verkerk, Ph.D., founder and executive and scientific director of the Alliance for Natural Health (1), NMNH is the reduced form of NMN. It works similarly to NMN in that both are NAD+ precursors, but there appear to be some differences in the enzymatic pathways involved.
"There have been some recent laboratory studies suggesting that NMNH may be more effective than NMN at increasing NAD+ levels in the body," Verkerk says.
Andrew Shao, Ph.D., senior vice president of global regulatory and scientific affairs at ChromaDex (2), tells Healthnews that NMNH might be 5–10 times more potent than NMN in animals.
While research is limited, a 2021 study found that NMNH was a better NAD+ enhancer than NMN in lab studies and research on living organisms.
Results from a study also published in 2021 (3) suggest that NMNH increases NAD+ levels faster and to a much greater extent than NMN or nicotinamide riboside (NR), another NAD+ precursor. The scientists found that mice given the compound experienced a rapid surge of sustained NAD+ in their bloodstreams.
