Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide is a derivative of Niacin (Vitamin B3) and is precursor to NAD+ which is essential co enzyme for several biological process involving energy metabolism and DNA repair. The absorption and bioavailability of NMN and its analogues greatly varies from person to person because of PK and PD parameters. The present study is aimed to improve the bioavailability and pharmacodynamic changes in normal healthy volunteers.
