NMN may support thyroid function by boosting NAD+ levels, which play a role in energy metabolism and hormone regulation.

The Repair delivers 450 mg of Uthever® NMN plus synergistic compounds for advanced cellular energy, focus, and resilience.

The Base provides a clean, budget-friendly NMN option with 250 mg of Uthever® NMN — ideal for maintenance or first-time users.

The Role of NMN in Thyroid Function Regulation

Thyroid function isn’t just about hormones – it’s a cornerstone of metabolic health, energy regulation, and cognitive clarity. As longevity science continues to push boundaries, NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is emerging as a key player not just in anti-ageing, but potentially in thyroid health regulation as well.

What is NMN and Why Does It Matter?

NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a molecule that fuels our cells and powers everything from energy metabolism to DNA repair. As we age, NAD+ levels drop – taking our energy, resilience, and metabolic efficiency with them. Supplementing with NMN helps replenish NAD+, restoring balance and function across multiple systems.

NMN and Thyroid Health: What the Research Suggests

Current research on NMN and thyroid function is still in early stages, but preliminary insights are worth noting:

  • Animal studies using nicotinamide, a close relative of NMN, have shown increased NAD+ levels in thyroid tissue, suggesting possible hormonal interactions.

  • One rodent study demonstrated that nicotinamide injection significantly raised thyroid NAD+ levels within hours.

  • In humans, studies with nicotinic acid (another vitamin B3 form) indicated lowered thyroid hormone levels without causing hypothyroidism, while a human NMN trial showed no significant changes in TSH or thyroid hormone levels.

  • Anecdotal reports have raised questions about a possible link between NMN supplementation and increased TSH levels, though these remain unverified.

While there's potential for a connection between NMN and thyroid activity, more rigorous clinical trials are needed to clarify the mechanisms and long-term implications.

NMN’s Broader Impact on Healthspan

The thyroid doesn’t function in isolation – and neither does NMN. Its benefits extend across the body:

  • Bone density support, helping reduce osteoporosis risk
  • Joint mobility and inflammatory modulation
  • Improved immune resilience and cellular repair
  • Metabolic rebalancing and enhanced insulin sensitivity
  • Cognitive support and neuroprotection

Clinical Studies on NMN

A 2024 human study by Andrea Maier et al. showed that daily supplementation with even 300 mg of NMN over 8 weeks led to measurable improvements in biomarkers associated with ageing and metabolism – without reported safety concerns. It reinforces the growing consensus: NMN is both effective and well-tolerated.

How NMN Might Influence Thyroid Hormone Activity

While the exact pathways are still being mapped, scientists believe NMN – via its NAD+ connection – could:

- Enhance thyroid radiosensitivity by stimulating nitric oxide synthase

- Influence hormone signalling through the generation of organic peroxides

This line of investigation is still evolving but aligns with NMN’s growing profile as a molecule that restores and protects cellular communication.
