As we age, many people experience increased fatigue, a decreased ability to recover, and changes in their skin and body shape.
These changes are said to be related to the body’s “decline in energy production ability” and “changes in the function of aging-related genes.”

In recent years, NMN intravenous therapy has been gaining attention as a way to address these age-related changes.
In this article, we will explain the effects and risks of NMN, as well as practical ways to use it in combination with lifestyle modifications.

1. What is NMN?

NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a compound synthesized in the body from vitamin B3 and is a precursor to the coenzyme NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is essential for energy metabolism.

• NAD⁺ is a substance deeply involved in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and activation of aging-related genes (sirtuins).
• As we age, the body’s NAD⁺ levels decrease, which is thought to contribute to energy deficiency and aging.
• Supplementing with NMN increases the body’s NAD⁺ levels, potentially rejuvenating cells.

This mechanism is why NMN is called the “next-generation anti-aging ingredient.”

2. Characteristics and Effects of NMN Infusions

NMN can also be taken as a supplement, but intravenous administration bypasses digestion and absorption, resulting in high bioavailability.

Expected effects are as follows:

• Recovery from fatigue and malaise: Activates energy metabolism at the cellular level
• Improved skin firmness and clarity: Contributes to cell regeneration and improved blood flow
• Improved concentration and thinking ability: Supports brain cell activation
• Improved physical strength and endurance: Expected to improve mitochondrial function
• General anti-aging care: Anti-aging effects through activation of the sirtuin gene

3. Risks and Precautions for NMN Infusions

NMN infusions are a relatively new treatment, and the following points should be kept in mind:

• Long-term effects and side effects are still being studied.
• Temporary flushing and mild headaches may occur after administration.
• Depending on your physical condition and pre-existing conditions, a doctor’s judgment is required.
• It is important to use a quality-guaranteed NMN preparation from a reputable medical institution.

4. Synergistic Effects with Lifestyle Improvements

① Improve Nutritional Balance

• Focus on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, and ensure adequate intake of B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Incorporate plenty of antioxidant-rich vegetables and fruits.

② Establish an Exercise Habit.

• Balancing aerobic exercise and strength training activates mitochondria.
• Improved blood flow supports the effects of NMN.

③ Improved sleep quality

• Deep sleep, which promotes growth hormone secretion, is directly linked to cell repair and anti-aging care.

④ Stress management

• Chronic stress depletes NAD⁺, so make time to relax through meditation or a hobby.

5. Actual Uses of NMN Infusions (Example)

Woman in her early 40s (To improve fatigue and dull skin)
→ After receiving infusions once every two weeks for three months, her skin tone brightened and fatigue was relieved.

Man in his 50s (To improve work performance)
→ By combining weekly infusions with strength training and dietary changes, his concentration and physical strength improved.

Woman in her late 40s (relieving menopausal symptoms)
→ Received IV infusions twice a month, resulting in improved fatigue and sleep quality.

(※Effects may vary from person to person.)

Summary

NMN infusions are a new medical treatment that can address age-related fatigue and signs of aging, making them an effective option for maintaining health and beauty from your 40s onwards.

However, the key to maximizing their effectiveness is to combine safe treatment at a medical institution with lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and sleep.
If you want to stay energetic and youthful as you age, why not consult with your doctor and consider NMN infusions?
