NASA Studies DNA Repairing NMM - Nicotinamide Mononucleotide

A new drug is showing a potential to repair DNA. Why is NASA involved? This drug would assist during space travel. As an example, it would work to protect astronauts from damaging radiation on Mars.nmn powder

A research team recently stumbled upon a key signaling process that assists with DNA repair and cell longevity. A study was performed on mice. Researchers were able to repair DNA damaged by age and radiation exposure. Professor David Sinclair commented:Human trials on this DNA-repairing pill are said to begin within the next six months.

If studies are promising, and this pill is able to assist with DNA repair, NASA would be able to improve the health and safety of astronauts during a four-year mission to Mars.

Astronauts also face a number of other issues during space travel. Accelerated aging. Muscle wasting. Memory loss. Weakening muscles.

How dangerous would a mission to Mars be? Extremely. Approximately five percent of all cells would die. Risk of cancer would improve by 100 percent.

This DNA-repairing pill also has other possible applications. Frequent flyers also face minor, but noteworthy radiation exposure. Childhood cancer survivors might also benefit from this potentially miraculous pill.

96% of childhood cancer survivors go on to deal with some other chronic illness later in life - generally before the age of 45. Conditions they tend to suffer from are type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other forms of non-related cancer.Accelerated aging is the culprit. While the body has an innate ability to repair DNA, this ability weakens as we age.

The team from the University of South Wales have identified an NAD+ signaling molecule, which is present in every cell of the human body. It plays a crucial role in the protein interactions that forge DNA repair.

By treating mice with an NAD+ booster called NMN (- Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), this team of researchers was able to uncover a potentially huge step forward in the battle against again.

It has already been established that NAD+ could be effective as an anti-aging treatment. It's also shown prose as a treatment for female infertility, and against the adverse effects of chemotherapy.
