NMN + Resveratrol

Can you take NMN and Resveratrol together?

SynergyAnimal / lab only

Yes, they are safe to combine as far as we know — but the synergy is a hypothesis.

What to do. Fine to combine. Take resveratrol with a fat-containing meal; NMN timing is flexible.

Mechanism

The NAD⁺ + sirtuin hypothesis

NMN raises NAD⁺, the fuel sirtuins consume; resveratrol is proposed to activate sirtuins. The combination is popular in longevity circles but has not been tested together in human trials.
