5. NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
It is form of Vitamin B3.
And NMN represents Precursor of NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide).
NAD+ play important role in cellular respiration, cellular metabolism, energy production, and DNA repair.
Studies have shown that NMN supplementation can increase the levels of NAD+ in the body, which may help to improve cellular function and potentially slow down the aging process.
Researches in animals show that NMN supplementation can increase cardiovascular health and even extend lifespan.
6. Vitamin E:
