β-NMN is  the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. (NAD+ ) and is considered as a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells that dramatically improves health and longevity by serving as a precursor to NAD+ .

NAD+ is the most abundant molecule in the body after water and is used by many proteins throughout the body, such as sirtuins, to repair damaged DNA. β-NMN is naturally derived from enzymatic process by using proprietary technology that has been well studied.
