In 2021, the year I turned 41, I started writing for a biomedical sciences company that manufactured an NMN supplement. NMN, short for nicotinamide mononucleotide, has been turning heads for its role in healthy aging. The research on NMN is ongoing, and I’m usually not big on supplements, but I found my mindset changed as I hit my 40s—better to be proactive, right? So I took two capsules every day for roughly eleven months, waiting to feel, well, younger. That didn’t happen. When I moved on from the account, I decided to quit the supplement too.
Fast forward to January 2025, when I’d returned to write for the same company. I was four years older and wondered if that timeframe might make any difference in my experience with NMN. To be as scientific as possible, I kept a journal to track my results this time around.
Color me shocked, but by the end of March, I had my very own proof of benefits right there in black and white—despite my innate skepticism and low-as-it-gets expectations. Now, I’m telling friends and family that they should seriously consider getting on board with this stuff and sticking with it.
