When is the best time to eat NMN? It seems that everyone has his own story and there are different opinions.
Some say before meals, some say after meals, some say in the morning, some say in the afternoon, and some say in the evening. So what is the best time to take it?
In fact, there are no strict regulations on the time of taking NMN. According to past case observations, some people have better effects when taking it in the morning, and some people have better effects when taking it in the afternoon. It seems that everyone has a “golden time” to take it.
I generally recommend taking one pill in the morning and one pill in the afternoon before and after meals.
If you are a newbie to NMN and haven’t found your “golden time” yet, you can take a look at the following studies:
Take NMN 6 hours after waking up
Eating NMN can comply with the circadian rhythm, that is, comply with the biological clock.
The biological clock is like a music conductor, and each component of the body is like a band member. When to sleep, when to wake up, and when to metabolize, they must listen to its command.
Including the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs in the body, they are also affected by the biological clock. Taking drugs at different times will have different absorption rates and bioavailability. Therefore, taking NMN according to the biological clock will also have better effects.
According to a biological research report, NAD+ metabolism levels and SIRT1 activity in cells reach their peak at noon every day. Taking NMN at noon (six hours after getting up) will increase the maximum SIRT1 activity in young people by 36%, and the maximum activity in elderly people. Enhanced by 14.2%.
In other words, taking NMN 6 hours after getting up may have better effects!
Take NMN after 6pm
Professor Okura from the University of Tsukuba in Japan found that the effect of NMN is very different when taken in the morning and in the afternoon!
The study included 108 eligible seniors over the age of 65 and found:
Taking NMN in the morning (before 12 noon) has no effect;
After taking it in the afternoon (18:00 and after), sleep quality and lower limb function are greatly improved, and drowsiness and fatigue are greatly reduced without any side effects.
In other words, taking NMN after 6 pm may bring more significant effects!
Summary of how to take NMN
According to the principle of biological clock and human experiments, it is recommended that you take it like this. Taking Radesol NMN as an example, take 2 capsules a day:
Take the first pill at noon, 6 hours after waking up;
The second pill of NMN should be taken after 6 pm, and it can be taken before or after meals.
However, it should be noted that it is best not to take it more than 8 o’clock at night, otherwise it may cause the NAD+ level in the human body to increase rapidly in a short period of time. If you are too energetic at night, it will affect normal rest and sleep.
