In recent years, the combination of NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and resveratrol has become popular for its potential health and anti-aging benefits. Together, these supplements work to boost the health of your cells, improve metabolism, and support overall well-being. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.

How NMN and Resveratrol Work Together

1. Energy and Longevity for Your Cells

  • NMN is a building block for a molecule called NAD+, which is super important for energy and repairing your cells. As you get older, your body makes less NAD+, which can cause your cells to work less efficiently. Taking NMN can help bring those levels back up, which may slow down some effects of aging.
  • Resveratrol activates proteins called sirtuins, which are linked to a longer, healthier life. Resveratrol also boosts NMN’s effects, making your cells more resilient and helping them function better.
 

2. Better Metabolism

  • NMN and resveratrol both help improve how your body processes sugar and fats, which is really important for keeping your metabolism in check. They can improve insulin sensitivity (how your body uses sugar) and lower the risk of developing diseases like type 2 diabetes.
 

3. Brain Health

  • Studies show that NMN and resveratrol might help protect your brain. They can reduce inflammation and protect your brain cells from damage caused by stress. This can help with memory and might reduce the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s.
 

4. Heart Health

  • This duo also benefits your heart. NMN helps improve how your heart uses energy, while resveratrol can lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation in blood vessels, which is great for keeping your heart strong.
 

5. Healthier Skin

  • NMN can improve skin elasticity (how firm your skin is) and keep it hydrated. Meanwhile, resveratrol’s antioxidant properties can protect your skin from damage, especially from the sun.
 

Recommended Dosages

  • NMN: Experts suggest a daily dose between 250 mg and 1,200 mg. Most people aim for 1 gram (1,000 mg) per day. It’s best to take NMN in the morning since it matches your body’s natural rhythm of making NAD+.
  • Resveratrol: The recommended dosage is usually between 150 mg and 3,000 mg per day, depending on what works best for your body. Most people take around 1 gram a day with food to help the body absorb it better.
 

Best Approach: Consult an Expert

Instead of following a one-size-fits-all dosage, it’s best to consult with an integrative oncology professional or a healthcare provider. They can help create an individualized protocol tailored to your unique health needs, ensuring the right balance and dosage of NMN and resveratrol for optimal benefits. This personalized approach will take into account your overall health, any medications you're taking, and your specific health goals.
