Why is it that we get more inflammation as we get older?  We're all likely to get inflammation at some point in our lives, but it becomes more prevalent once we hit our 40s.  You get to the gym and your joints start barking at you during your warm up.  Inflammation is typified by redness, heat or swelling, but it’s the pain and associated loss of function that show up when we’re training that can prevent us from progressing, or worse, stop us training altogether.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a precursor molecule for the creation of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme that plays a major role in the production of cellular energy and DNA repair. NAD+ is probably one of the most important molecules on the planet, without it, life would cease to exist. A growing body of research suggests that taking an NAD+ booster like NMN when taken in supplement form increases cellular levels of NAD+

As we age, our levels of NAD+ naturally decrease.  Levels drop as much as 50% by the age of 40, making it harder to train, build muscle, and keep fit.
