Results

Healthy adult males who were members of college track and field teams took NMN (500 mg/day) and/or PX (9 mg/day) for 8 weeks. As a result, NMN did not effectively improve endurance performance after intake for 8 weeks, which was the primary endpoint of this study. However, the results after intake for 4 weeks, and stratified analyses by blood NAD+ levels before intake, suggested that the combination of NMN and PX might improve endurance performance.
