The Science of Longevity: How NMN Could Support Healthy Ageing

2 MIN READ • 24th September 2025

There’s no silver bullet when it comes to staying healthy as we get older, but nicotinamide mononucleotide supplements may have an important role to play, say the experts at Naturecan

We’re living longer than ever, but how can we stay healthy and vibrant as the years pass? From regular exercise to eating a balanced diet, many lifestyle habits are proven to help us age well. Now, research into nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) – a naturally occurring molecule in our bodies – is adding a new dimension to the conversation about longevity and healthy ageing.

What is NMN?

NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a molecule found in all living cells and is a direct precursor to NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme essential for energy production and cellular repair. NAD⁺ levels naturally decline as we age, which scientists believe may contribute to age-related changes in metabolism, energy levels and resilience. By supplementing NMN, the body can potentially maintain healthier NAD⁺ levels – an area of active research worldwide.

The science so far

Animal studies over the last decade have shown that boosting NAD⁺ via NMN supplementation can improve metabolic function, cardiovascular health, and even exercise capacity. Early human studies suggest NMN is well tolerated and may help raise NAD⁺ levels, though more research is needed to confirm long-term benefits in people. This means NMN isn’t a “magic pill” – but it’s one of the most exciting areas of longevity science right now.

Healthy ageing beyond supplements

Supplements like NMN work best alongside healthy habits you already know about: regular movement, a nutrient-dense diet, quality sleep, stress management, and staying socially connected. Think of NMN as one possible tool in a larger longevity toolkit rather than a single solution.

Naturecan’s approach to NMN

At Naturecan, we’re passionate about science-backed wellness. Our NMN supplement is designed with quality and transparency in mind:

  • Produced to rigorous standards in ISO-certified facilities
  • Third-party tested for purity
  • Clearly labelled so you know exactly what you’re getting

We want to give people credible, honest information about NMN so they can make informed decisions.

Why longevity matters

Longevity isn’t just about living longer – it’s about living better. That means maintaining energy, mental clarity, strength and resilience as you age. While there’s no silver bullet, combining lifestyle measures with scientifically investigated compounds like NMN may help tip the odds in your favour.

Key takeaway

We’re at an exciting turning point in longevity science. With healthy habits as the foundation, NMN supplementation could be a promising addition to your wellness plan. Remember, always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have existing conditions or take medication.
