NMN Delays Brain Aging

The so-called brain aging is actually related to sub-health problems such as high pressure in our lives, long-term staying up late, sleeping late, and brain fatigue.

An article has pointed out that the human brain begins to age from the age of 30; After the age of 40, the body's metabolism gradually slows down, the function of brain cells decreases, the physical strength, memory, and response power decline, and the positioning ability and physical coordination are not as good as before; After age 60, the brain shrinks at a rate of 15% per year. Brain aging can also greatly increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

So, can the aging of the brain be delayed? In terms of lifestyle, good and adequate sleep, maintaining an optimistic attitude, a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, reading, thinking, etc., all contribute to brain health. From the perspective of the mechanism of aging, all kinds of aging symptoms that come with aging are closely related to the decline of NAD+ levels in the body, and the health of the brain is no exception.

An important mechanism of NMN delaying brain aging is that it directly increases the concentration of NAD+ in the brain, thereby activating a protein called Sirtuins. Sirtuins is called "longevity protein" because it can extend the life of a variety of animals and reverse the aging of 2-year-old mice (equivalent to 70 to 80 years old in humans).

After supplementation with NMN in the elderly, the activated longevity protein Sirtuins works from 3 aspects. Ordinary elderly brain with age and aging, nerve atrophy, necrosis, learning ability is not as good as before, Sirtuins repair synaptic networks, enhance neural communication, delay brain function decline.

The elderly suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease have a large number of toxic protein plaques in the brain, which accelerate nerve death, so that the memory and exercise ability of the elderly with the disease are much lower than those of their peers. Sirtuins promotes the conversion of plaques into other substances and accelerates the decomposition of existing plaques, preventing them from winding and aggregation.

Another mechanism of protection of nerves by NMN is that it can promote cerebral angiogenesis in aging.

The latest research confirms that NMN can promote angiogenesis and improve cerebral blood flow, which is another evidence that NMN delays brain aging, showing that in addition to repairing nerve communication and clearing plaques in the brain, NMN can also maintain the youthful state of the brain by increasing blood supply and oxygen supply to nerves.
