Mills et al. conducted a 12-month-long administration of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a key natural NAD+ intermediate, to normal wild-type mice, demonstrating that NMN effectively mitigates age-associated physiological decline in mice without any obvious toxicity. These results highlight the significant potential of NMN as an effective anti-aging intervention in humans.
