The Base - NMN

Dosage Recommendations and Why For Youth Recommends 250 mg to start with:

At For Youth, we recommend starting with one 250 mg capsule of The Base - NMN each morning. This recommendation is grounded in scientific research, as most human studies show NMN is effective at this dosage.

Moreover, by setting the dosage at 250 mg, we aim to make NMN more accessible without compromising on its effectiveness. While some customers, inspired by figures like Prof. David Sinclair, choose to take higher doses, we believe starting with 250 mg is a balanced approach.

Considering Higher Doses:

While 250 mg is our recommended starting dose, certain factors might lead you to consider a higher intake. For instance, recent studies indicate that doses up to 500 mg are safe and well-tolerated. Higher doses might be beneficial for older adults or individuals with greater body mass, as these groups may require more NMN to maintain optimal NAD+ levels. If you’ve been using NMN for several months and notice limited effects, or if you have specific health goals, you might explore increasing the dose. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Rule of Thumb if Considering Higher Doses:

If you have consulted a healthcare professional and wish to increase your daily dose of NMN, below is a helpful rule of thumb.

You weigh under 90kg (200 lb)

- Age is less than 45 — 250 mg NMN
- Age is 45 to 60 — 500 mg NMN
- Age is more than 60 — 750 mg NMN

You weigh over 90kg (200 lb)

- Age is less than 45 — 500 mg NMN
- Age is 45 to 60 — 750 mg NMN
- Age is more than 60 — 1000 mg NMN

Yes, NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is generally considered safe for human consumption based on several human trials. Here are some key studies that support its safety:

- A 2019 study by Irie, J., et al. published in the Endocrine Journal, assessed the safety of NMN in healthy Japanese men. The researchers administered various doses (100 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg) of NMN and found it to be safe and well-tolerated, with no significant adverse effects observed. Here is the link to the research paper.

- A 2023 study by Yin, Li., et al. evaluated the safety and bioavailability of NMN in healthy adults. It found that NMN was safe and well-tolerated at doses up to 900 mg, with no significant adverse effects. Here is a link to the research paper.

These studies provide evidence that NMN is safe for human consumption, particularly at the doses we recommend. However, as with any supplement, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting NMN, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions or those taking other medications.

On top of this, we guarantee the safety of The Base by sourcing high quality, patented NMN and independly test every batch for purity and substance.

The purest NMN available is 99% pure. During the extraction process from natural ingredients, about 1% doesn't convert into NMN. This leftover 1% becomes NAM (Nicotinamide), a form of vitamin B3, which is also a precursor to NAD+. Your body can still convert NAM into NMN, helping to boost your NAD+ levels.

NMN is best taken in the morning, on an empty stomach. After you wake up, you're NAD+ levels start rising and taking NMN in the morning therefore gives this process the extra well-needed boost.

The Base - NMN and anti-aging skin creams work to promote youthful skin in different ways, each offering unique benefits.

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) works at the cellular level, boosting NAD+ levels essential for DNA repair, cellular energy production, and overall skin health. By enhancing these processes from within, NMN supports long-term skin health and addresses the root causes of aging.

In contrast, anti-aging skin creams are applied topically and target the outer layers of the skin. While these creams can improve the skin's appearance and texture over time, they don't address the underlying causes of aging. For example, hyaluronic acid in creams can only create a surface layer that holds moisture, as it cannot permeate deeply into the skin.

Combining NMN supplementation with a quality skincare routine offers a comprehensive approach to youthful skin. NMN promotes overall cellular health from within, while anti-aging creams provide targeted, external improvements. Together, they help maintain youthful, healthy skin both inside and out.
