Groundbreaking Harvard NMN Study: Reversing the Clock on Aging
Strong science shows how NMN helps with healthy aging. A key 2018 study, led by a team of researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of New South Wales (UNSW), showed how NMN can help "rewind the clock" for aging blood vessels. The study was published in the top science journal Cell. This page explains what the Harvard researchers found.

Why Do We Lose Energy as We Age?
As we get older, our bodies naturally change. The study looked at two big problems that happen with age:
- Aging Blood Vessels: The small tubes that carry blood to our organs start to break down. This means less blood flow, which can lead to poor health.
- Muscle Loss: Our muscles get weaker over time. Even exercise doesn't help as much as it used to.
The Discovery: What the NMN Study Found
The researchers gave NMN to older mice, which were like 70-year-old people. The results were amazing:
- New Blood Vessel Growth: NMN helped the mice grow new blood vessels, just like when they were young.
- Huge Boost in Energy: The mice on NMN could run much farther. Their endurance went up.
- Stronger Muscles: Better blood flow helped make their muscles healthy and strong again.
How Does NMN Work?
The study showed that NMN works by increasing a fuel source in our body called NAD+.
- NAD+ Fuels Our Cells: NAD+ is like a gas tank for our cells. It helps them repair themselves. We lose NAD+ as we get older.
- Good Genes: Other research from the same team showed that NAD+ is also critical for repairing damaged DNA, which helps prevent cells from dying or becoming faulty as we age.
- Communication of the Cells: NMN helps our muscles and blood vessels communicate again. This makes exercise work better.
The Scientists Behind the Research
This groundbreaking research was a global effort led by the top minds in aging science.
- The study was led by senior author Dr. David Sinclair a world-renowned professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Centre for the Biology of Aging.
- The first author of the paper was Dr. Abhirup Das, a researcher from the University of New South Wales.
- The project was a major collaboration between scientists at top institutions, including Harvard Medical School, the University of New South Wales, and MIT.
