I took NMN every day and this happened
TLDRIn this video, the speaker shares their experience of taking NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) daily for 60 days. They report increased energy levels, improved alertness, and enhancements in physical performance, such as an increased pull-up max and better workout recovery. They also mention noticing unexpected skin improvements, including the disappearance of a persistent growth on their face. Although the speaker has also been taking collagen, they believe the timing of these changes might be linked to NMN. Additionally, they mention feeling younger, with fewer wrinkles, as noted by family members.
Takeaways
- 🔋 I noticed an increase in energy after starting NMN, but not like caffeine energy—more like a profound wakefulness and alertness.
- 💤 In the first few days, I had trouble sleeping due to the amplified alertness, but my sleep normalized within a couple of days.
- 😲 A recurring skin growth that I had on my face stopped coming back after about a month of taking NMN.
- 🏋️ I've been able to increase the number of pull-ups I can do, breaking past a plateau I had for years, from 22 to 26 in a short time while using NMN.
- ⏳ My workout recovery seems faster, and I feel better during my workouts since I started taking NMN.
- 🏃♂️ I noticed an improvement in endurance during my trail running and ultra-marathon training, though I’ve also increased my electrolyte intake.
- 🧴 My sister commented that I seem to have fewer wrinkles and look younger, which might be due to a combination of NMN and the collagen I’ve been taking for over a year.
- 🤔 Despite taking collagen for over a year, the timing of the wrinkle reduction makes me think NMN might be contributing to the effect.
- 💡 I'm still unsure if NMN is the cause of these improvements, but the timing of the changes suggests it could be playing a role.
- 💸 I’ve been using NMN from Pro Health but am considering switching to Do Not Age for affordability and similar quality standards.

Outlines
⚡ Increased Energy and Strange Skin Improvement
After taking NMN for 60 days, the speaker first noticed a significant boost in energy. Unlike a caffeine-induced energy, it felt like amplified alertness. This effect was so strong that it initially caused trouble sleeping but normalized within a few days. Another unexpected change was a persistent skin issue (possibly a skin tag) on the face that healed and hasn’t returned after a month of NMN usage. Although the speaker had been using collagen for a year and a half, the coincidence of this improvement starting with NMN leads them to believe NMN might be responsible.
🏋️♂️ Strength Gains and Recovery Boost
The speaker shares a surprising increase in upper body strength while taking NMN. While they had plateaued at 22 pull-ups, after five weeks on NMN, they increased to 24, and then to 26 pull-ups in the following week. Although they have been consistently training, the quick progress, coinciding with NMN usage, suggests NMN could be playing a role. They also noticed improved workout recovery and overall well-being, though they are cautious about definitively attributing these gains solely to NMN.
🏃♂️ Enhanced Endurance in Trail Running
In addition to strength gains, the speaker, an avid trail runner and ultra-marathon participant, observed improved endurance during training sessions. Particularly before a big event at the Grand Canyon, they felt less fatigued and more refreshed compared to previous runs. While they also increased their electrolyte intake, they can’t dismiss the possibility that NMN contributed to the boost in stamina, given the timing of these improvements.
💊 NMN Brand Choice and Visible Anti-Aging Effects
The speaker currently takes NMN from Pro Health, praising the brand’s third-party testing and GMP-certified manufacturing but considers switching to Do Not Age for affordability. They also note a visible reduction in wrinkles, which their sister pointed out, leading to speculation about NMN’s anti-aging properties. While the speaker has been taking collagen for over a year, the wrinkle reduction only became noticeable after starting NMN. They suspect both NMN and collagen are working together, but are unsure of the exact contributions from each.
