NMN vs NAD+: What's the Difference?

NAD+ is the molecule your cells actually use. NMN is one of the building blocks your body can convert into NAD+.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme every cell relies on. It's involved in converting food into usable energy and plays a role in hundreds of other metabolic reactions that keep cells running.

What is settled is that NAD+ itself doesn't absorb well when taken directly, which is why supplements focus on precursors instead: smaller molecules the body can take up and convert into NAD+ through its own metabolic pathways. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is one of those precursors.

ProHealth's NMN Pro™ 1000 uses Uthever® NMN, the same ingredient tested in a published, peer-reviewed, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial. Participants taking 300 mg of Uthever® NMN daily saw their NAD+/NADH levels rise 38% from baseline by day 60 (Frontiers in Aging, 2022). NMN Pro™ 1000 uses this same studied ingredient, though at a different daily serving size than the clinical trial.
