Hidden effect of NMN: Improving premature ovarian failure
2025-10-09
01. Increase the level of NAD⁺
NMN is the direct precursor of NAD⁺, and NAD⁺ plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and regulation of gene expression.
Patients with premature ovarian failure have a significant decrease in NAD⁺ levels in their bodies, leading to the decline of ovarian function. Supplementing NMN can rapidly increase NAD⁺levels and restore the metabolic activity of cells.
02.Activate longevity proteins (Sirtuins)
NMN enhances the levels of NAD⁺, thereby activating the Sirtuins family proteins (such as SIRT1 and SIRT3), which play a crucial role in maintaining ovarian function.
SIRT1: It is involved in the development and ovulation process of follicles, inhibits the apoptosis of ovarian cells, and protects the ovarian reserve function.
SIRT3: Improves mitochondrial function and reduces oxidative stress-induced damage to ovarian cells.
03.Improve mitochondrial function
Premature ovarian failure is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction. NMN enhances mitochondrial bioenergy metabolism by increasing NAD⁺ levels and improves ATP production efficiency.
Improving mitochondrial function can reduce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), alleviate oxidative stress-induced damage to ovarian cells, and delay ovarian aging.
04.Reduce oxidative stress
Patients with premature ovarian failure have elevated levels of oxidative stress in their bodies, which leads to damage of follicular DNA and cell apoptosis.
NMN activates antioxidant pathways such as Nrf2, thereby enhancing the antioxidant capacity of ovarian cells and reducing the damage caused by free radicals to ovarian tissues.
05.Regulate the inflammatory response
Chronic inflammation is one of the important causes of premature ovarian failure. NMN can inhibit inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-κB and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α and IL-6) in ovarian tissues.
Reducing the inflammatory response helps protect the ovarian microenvironment, promoting follicle development and hormone secretion.
06.Promote the repair and regeneration of ovarian cells
NMN enhances the level of NAD⁺, activates DNA repair enzymes (such as PARP1), and promotes the repair of DNA damage in ovarian cells.
Improve the ovarian microenvironment, promote follicle development and hormone secretion, and restore ovarian function.
07.Regulate hormone levels
Ovarian premature aging is often accompanied by a decrease in estrogen levels. NMN improves ovarian function, promotes the synthesis and secretion of estrogen, and alleviates menopausal symptoms.
The restoration of estrogen levels is beneficial for maintaining the reproductive health and overall physiological functions of women.
08.Experimental evidence
On November 26, 2024, a study published in the "Journal of Ovarian Research" investigated by constructing a POI rat model, divided into control group, POI group and NMN intervention group, to detect relevant indicators; in vitro experiments were conducted to induce cell pyroptosis and handle it.
It was found that NMN could improve the blood hormone levels of POI rats, increase the number of follicles, and enhance the ovarian reserve function. In vitro experiments showed that NMN could increase the level of NAD⁺ and inhibit the expression of NLRP3 and other pyroptosis-related factors. The research results indicated that NMN could protect the ovarian function of female rats from being impaired due to ovarian insufficiency.
