As much as certain companies and self-proclaimed longevity experts like to promote that NMN is the secret supplement to slow ageing!!
To date, the evidence is wishy washy at best! Not to say it doesn’t have some benefit.
I’m sure that it does, but as Carl Sagan once said:
“𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆”
Now, I’m sure you aware of various minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium and potassium.
These are known as “Macro Minerals”, as we require slightly larger amounts each day to stay healthy. Then we have another group which is aptly named “Trace Minerals’ as we require these in smaller amounts and includes Iron, Zinc, Copper and Selenium.
Now, selenium is an essential trace mineral which isn’t quite as familiar as other minerals such as Magnesium or Zinc, but one which is involved in numerous physiological processes, ranging from antioxidant protection to thyroid hormone metabolism.
A New study recently published, concluded…..
“Our study suggests that low levels of selenium biomarkers are associated with accelerated biological aging measured through epigenetic clocks. This effect was not substantially changed after adjustment for known confounders.”

This largely reinforces our own research at Muhdo Health over the last 8 years with selenium supplementation being found to have a profound effect on DNA methylation and biological ageing.
One reason is its vital role in the regulation of a family of genes surrounding Glutathione production (GPX1, GPX2 etc) with glutathione’s ability to combat oxidative stress, cellular damage and influence ageing being dependent on an individual’s Selenium levels.
GPX genes can influence how effectively your cells combat oxidative damage, particularly if your Selenium intake is limited.
This is why we developed our Selenium + supplement, which also provides the necessary cofactors in Magnesium, Vitamin C and Iodine to enhance the bioavailability, and benefits that Selenium provides.

Iodine and Selenium are two essential trace elements that play critical roles in thyroid function, metabolism, and overall cellular health.

Vitamin C enhances Selenium absorption and optimises its function in the body by improving the bioavailability of Selenium and protecting it from oxidative degradation.

Magnesium is required for the function of enzymes that process selenium-containing compounds into bioactive forms.
