Many people may already know about the health and anti-aging benefits of NMN, but they may still have questions about the details of its use, including: at what age is NMN most suitable to take? How much NMN should be taken and when is the best time to consume it? To address these questions, we will provide a comprehensive explanation of how to take NMN.
At what age is NMN best taken? Suitable age and recommended starting age for NMN.
NMN offers numerous benefits, but we might wonder at what age it's best to take it. Indeed, not everyone needs to take supplements. Here are recommendations based on different age groups:
People under 20
For people aged 20 or under, their bodies are still in a young state, and the level of NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) in their bodies is still relatively high. As NMN is a precursor to NAD+, the benefits of taking additional NMN will not be very obvious for young people, and it is recommended to wait until they get older before taking it.
People aged 30 or above
For individuals aged 30 or older, this is an ideal time to supplement with NMN as NAD+ levels gradually decline. At this age, signs of aging such as wrinkles and uneven skin tone may begin to appear. Taking NMN can effectively increase NAD+ levels, slow down the aging process, and improve skin and overall health.
People aged 40 to 50 and above
For individuals entering their 40s and 50s, NAD+ levels decline more rapidly, leading to more pronounced signs of aging, such as dull skin and sagging. At this stage, the effects of NMN are more noticeable. Besides slowing down aging, it effectively improves skin elasticity, helping to maintain a youthful appearance. Therefore, people over 40 should consider taking NMN to improve their health and appearance.
The higher the body's NAD+ level, the more effectively it maintains vitality and a youthful appearance. Therefore, starting NMN supplementation at a younger age will yield the best results. If we were to give an answer to "at what age is it best to take NMN", 30 to 40 years old is the ideal age range to start taking NMN.
How much NMN should you take? Recommended NMN dosage
Regarding the ideal dose of NMN, there are different studies and recommendations in the medical community. According to research from universities such as the University of Tokyo and the University of Tsukuba, 250 mg per day is the recommended intake of NMN. However, according to the latest research from a research team at Keio University in Japan, an intake of 900 mg per day is still within the safe range, and no toxic effects were found even in subjects who ingested up to 1,250 mg per day. [1]
Everyone's health condition, age, and weight are different, so there may be different optimal dosages. For most Asians, 300mg is a safe and effective dose. For older or heavier individuals, or those requiring higher doses to achieve the same anti-aging effects, it is recommended that individuals under 50 years old and weighing 60kg take 500mg of NMN daily (750mg for those weighing 90kg); while individuals aged 50 or older and weighing 60kg are advised to take 750mg of NMN daily (1,000mg for those weighing 90kg).

How best to take NMN? NMN consumption time.
Beyond age and dosage, the most pressing question for many is the timing of NMN consumption. While NMN can be taken at any time of day, research suggests that morning consumption may be most effective, as it can help reset the body's biological clock and enhance metabolic activity. Experts also recommend a consistent daily intake of NMN to prevent missed doses. Furthermore, analysis indicates that NMN is absorbed in the small intestine, so taking it on an empty stomach allows for more efficient delivery of the supplement directly to the intestines, avoiding the need to mix it with other foods and prolong the absorption process. Based on these factors, taking NMN before breakfast on an empty stomach is the ideal way to consume it.
NMN consumption: Is powder or capsule form preferred?
There are powdered and capsule-packaged NMN products on the market. How should you choose? Some say that powdered NMN is absorbed faster, allowing the body to feel the effects more quickly. However, powdered NMN requires you to measure the dosage yourself each time, and you also need a teaspoon to take it. It may also have a taste, and it is relatively inconvenient to carry and store.
As for capsule NMN, although it needs to be digested by the gastrointestinal tract and its absorption rate is slightly slower than that of powder, current research shows that both powder and capsule NMN, when taken orally, can effectively increase NAD+ levels in the body, and the difference in final absorption between the two is not significant. The biggest advantage of capsule NMN is its convenience in carrying and taking, and the fixed dosage, making it suitable for busy users or those who are frequently on the go.
