My NMN Journey so far

As I explore my personal health journey with NMN, it's important to also understand the science behind this intriguing molecule. NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) has garnered significant attention in the scientific community due to its role as a direct precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a vital coenzyme found in every cell of our bodies. NAD+ is crucial for hundreds of biological processes, including energy production, DNA repair, and cellular metabolism.

 

I started to take the NMN supplement from VIVANMN in January 2025 and began to notice some changes after just one week:

 

1. Sleeping better

The first significant change I noticed was in less than one week. I'm quite a light sleeper, but I've always had problems with getting to sleep, rather than staying asleep. 

Not only was I falling asleep much easier than before, but I was also sleeping much more soundly and waking up the next morning I felt like I'd had a much better nights sleep.

I can say that I sleep better in general since I started taking NMN.

 

2. Increased energy

The other early sign of change was that I felt like I had more energy in me. This was also not long after starting on the NMN supplement.

It felt a lot easier to get up in the morning and I definitely have more energy during the day. I also had family members tell me I seemed more alert and 'happier' - which I hadn't actually noticed myself.

 

3. Less aches & pains

I've always had a very serious problem when sleeping on my back during the night (I would never go to sleep in this position intentionally). I used to wake up in the morning and almost feel paralysed when I woke up, with back pain, having to turn onto my side and pull myself up from the bed.

Now I can go to sleep on my back without any issue and wake up with no problems at all.

This was not the earliest change I felt but for me the most significant - it almost feels like a miracle has happened.

 

4. Skin improvement

I'm quite fair-skinned and my skin can become blotchy quite easily for a number of reasons. However, after a few months of using NMN I started to notice an improvement in my skin condition.

It's not easy to describe, but my skin feels a little tougher and I look a lot healthier when I look in the mirror - my face has more colour and looks less 'pasty', if that's the correct word.

 

5. Hair colour

One thing I was hoping for is that NMN would potentially slow or even reverse my grey hair.  I have been examining this quite often in the mirror, some days thinking my hair looks darker and some days I'm just not sure.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for that one!

 

So, I am 6 months into my NMN journey now (as of June 2025). I have noticed changes in my body and my appearance, some of them subtle and some of them quite significant (my back is somehow fixed). I will continue with monthly updates so be sure to come back and check my progress.
