LIDTKE NMN (a Vitamin B3 derivative) readily converts to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), a powerful and essential molecule that is found in every cell of the body. NAD+ levels are at their peak when we are young, but they decline as we age, draining our energy and exposing us to nearly every age-related dysfunction.

In the 1990’s LIDTKE began providing prescription NAD+ to pharmacies. The medical potential of NAD+ was clear, particularly for problems of neurological decline. Unfortunately the technology did not yet exist to significantly boost NAD+ levels in our muscle and brain cells, where it was most needed. Hence, NAD+ never seemed to live up to its potential.

NMN works in an entirely new way. NMN is a precursor molecule that passes through our cell walls quite easily, where our cells can then manufacture and boost NAD+ levels. NMN may not be the first precursor molecule discovered, but it absorbs faster into a variety of bodily tissues than other NAD+ precursors. [2] More importantly, after many decades of research, NMN appears to be living up to the NAD+ promise.
