"Researchers found that metabolism was boosted, age-associated weight gain was lowered, and eyesight and blood sugar levels improved as well in their test mice, which could translate into positives for humans. In short, the key component — nicotinamide mononucleotide or NMN — might extend longevity, according to a team of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Their findings were published in the journal Cell Metabolism.
Though the reasons to eat broccoli are already well-established — broccoli is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, antioxidants, and fiber — the newly tested NMN component will cause even diehard haters to take notice. NMN is found naturally in many foods, including broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, edamame, and avocado."
I wonder if supplementation with nicotinamide, which has already been shown to greatly reduce the recurrence of skin cancers, would work just as well if not better than the broccoli itself?
