Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of NMN supplementation (250 and 500 mg/day over 38 days) compared to placebo in healthy volunteers with moderate physical activity on muscle recovery, physical capacity, cardiorespiratory recovery, the perception of the arduousness of the effort, the variation in blood lactate levels before and after physical exercise, the perception of the intensity of post-exercise muscle pain (cramps), the body composition and Nicotinamide-Adenine Mononucleotide (NAD+) level in blood.
