NMN ⇒ 78 year-old newbie Starting NMN... need advice!

[Johnda]

Hi Everybody,

My wife and I are in our late 70s and rather belatedly starting (hopefully) anti-ageing!

We are taking Berberine, (tried and, due to dizziness, stopped Resveratrol), and now taking ~600mg of NMN powder with breakfast.

Let's concentrate on the NMN.

We are not sure if it is working nor even if we have the right kind.  It is a pure white powder with a surprisingly low Ph of ~4... pretty acidic!  It would seem that NMN is usually pretty neutral.  Ideas?  The formula is C11H15N2O8P.  We have also heard differing storage requirements... cool room/fridge/freezer...?  Any ideas?

We have also been looking at NMNH -- looks even better than NMN but I can't find much data at all on it.

Many thanks in advance for any comments and ideas !

Cheers

John

Well, i would recommend taking a Liposomal version of NMN since it is highly bioavailable and you probably want to be taking at least 500mg daily 5-6 times per week. Also because a lot of methylation occurs with NMN, I would also recommend taking 500-1000mg TMG at least 3 times per week to replenish depleted Methyl groups.

My mother is almost 86, and although we saw gradual improvements and more importantly, faster recovery from falls or setbacks, i didn't notice the obvious difference until we went to 500mg Lipo NMN.

We do take other supplements (curcumin, fisetin, extra virgin olive oil for Oleic adic) but the big one for now is CaAKG (also in Lipo form) which can dramatically reduce cumulative inflammatory biomarkers and really help in turning back the clock.

Pterostilbene is very similar to resveratrol and may not give you issues.

I hope you stay on the forum and keep us updated in your journey. A bunch of us have been very faithful in our participation. 

I am just over 50 and began to notice the difference once i had been taking 500mg NMN Sublingual for 3 months. My strength and stamina definitely improved. Also there were subtle things, like the bloodshot-ness going out of my eyes and my bad back gradually disappearing. I now take 250mg NMN Lipo. If you do your research, Lipo-wrapped supplements  make it to the liver unscathed making them much more  bio-available.

so, that's my 2 cents. I hope you guy take advantage of some of the fantastic longevity tools. We are in a new era and I am glad for the opportunity to reclaim some youth and health.

Hi 

I’ve had a similar experience, first 3 days I felt out of it and at the end of the day super tired and exhausted, i usually have really bad insomnia every night so this was definitely something new. Brought on by the Nmn. 

On my 4th day I took a little bit - maybe 200gm at 2:00pm and started feeling really energetic and good around 5-6pm , It’s 10 pm and I’m still wide awake. 

I usually take tmg but have stoped recently cuz it’s been giving me really bad anxiety and confusion. 


anyway just wanted to say it’s definitely not just you, I’ve had definitely had a similar experience with the tiredness from Nmn, but I’m hoping it goes away after I continue taking it.

You might be experiencing low methyl pools, which can happen to some people with already low methyl groups.  The solution is to methylate with TMG supplements.  This will raise your levels of dopamine and creatine and you should feel less tired, more energetic.
