About This Trial
We are doing this research to learn how healthy younger and older adults use two forms of vitamin B3-called nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide (NAM)-to make NAD+. NAD+ is a natural substance that cells need for energy and other important processes. Our goal is to find out how these NAD precursors are absorbed and metabolized and how they raise NAD+ in different tissues. Who can jo…
