NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
What It Is: NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+, a molecule that fuels energy production in every cell. As dogs age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to decreased cellular energy, cognitive slowing, and reduced vitality. Supplementing with NMN helps restore these levels — powering healthy aging from the inside out.
Why We Use It
- Cellular Energy: NMN helps increase NAD+ levels, which in turn supports mitochondrial function — the “engines” of cells.
- Cognitive Function: Promotes mental clarity and brain health in aging dogs.
- Longevity: NAD+ is involved in DNA repair, inflammation control, and metabolism — all vital for aging well.
- Joint & Muscle Recovery: Supports tissue regeneration and stamina for active or recovering dogs.
Why It’s Better Than Other Forms
Unlike NAD+ supplements, which are poorly absorbed when taken orally, NMN is readily absorbed into cells and efficiently converted into NAD+ through natural pathways. Compared to cheaper niacin or niacinamide supplements, NMN is the most bioavailable and least likely to cause side effects like flushing or upset stomach.
Our Dosage
We include NMN in our Senior Vitality and Senior Longevity+ blends at the following targeted doses:
- Small dogs: 50 mg
- Medium dogs: 100 mg
- Large dogs: 150 mg
- Extra large dogs: 200 mg
These levels are consistent with long-term safety and effectiveness. NMN is used in many human anti-aging protocols at similar weight-adjusted dosages.
What Sets Us Apart
- Purity First: We source NMN powder from a reputable, third-party-tested supplier — free from fillers or additives.
- Proper Dosing: Many pet brands don’t offer NAD+ support at all, or use underdosed precursors like niacin. We provide the real thing, at levels that matter.
- Smart Formulation: We pair NMN with ingredients like CoQ10, astaxanthin, and curcumin for full-spectrum support of energy, brain, and joint health.
