Anti-aging pill tested in 1-year human trial
NCT ID NCT06592859
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether taking a daily capsule of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can reduce biological age in healthy adults aged 40-70. Over 240 participants will take either NMN or a placebo for one year. Researchers will measure aging using blood tests and other markers to see if NMN can truly slow the aging process.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) dietary supplement
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement to slow or reverse some signs of aging in healthy people.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 240 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. NMN supplements are not regulated like drugs, and long-term safety is unknown.
