If You’re Putting NMN in a Smoothie, You Might As Well Sprinkle It on the Floor
Share
You finally bought NMN. You’re ready to support your energy, protect your mitochondria, and age like a smug sea turtle.
So what do you do?
You throw it in a banana-chia-flax-spinach-maca smoothie and think,
“Look at me, I am wellness.”
Except — here’s the part your cells aren’t telling you:
They never got the memo. That NMN didn’t survive breakfast.
🥄 TLDR: You just made very expensive wee.
If you want NMN to actually work, you need to take it properly. So today we’re giving you the no-fluff, all-facts guide on how to do that — science first, smoothie disasters very much second.

🧬 What Even Is NMN?
NMN stands for Nicotinamide Mononucleotide. It’s a precursor to NAD⁺ — a molecule your cells use for literally everything that keeps you alive and not decomposing.
NAD⁺:
- Fuels mitochondria (your cellular power stations)
- Repairs DNA
- Supports metabolism, muscle function, brain performance
- Slowly declines with age like your ability to tolerate small talk
So taking NMN = topping up your NAD⁺ levels = helping your body actually function like it’s supposed to.
📖 Study: Yoshino et al., Cell Metabolism (2011) — NMN supplementation improved glucose tolerance, mitochondrial function, and insulin sensitivity in mice.

🧃 Why the Smoothie Method Sucks
Your stomach acid isn’t just acidic. It’s the molecular shredder of dreams.
When you mix NMN into a smoothie, you’re exposing it to:
- Heat
- Light
- Acidity
- Digestive enzymes
- That one frozen berry that’s probably 3 years old
Result: Most of the NMN is broken down before it ever reaches your bloodstream. And what does get absorbed? It's fighting an uphill battle.
✅ The Best Way to Take NMN (According to Science, Not Instagram)
🔹 Sublingual Delivery (a.k.a. “under the tongue, baby”)
Why it works:
- Bypasses the digestive tract entirely
- Absorbs directly into your bloodstream through capillaries under the tongue
- Skips the “digestive acid blender” and heads straight to the party
🧪 Study: Mills et al., Cell Reports (2016) – Sublingual and nasal NAD⁺ precursors showed more rapid uptake than oral administration.

How to do it:
- Take your Nurix NMN powder
- Measure the correct dose (typically 250–500 mg, or follow your healthcare provider’s advice)
- Hold it under your tongue for 60–90 seconds
- Do not swallow it immediately like an amateur
- Let your cells feel something for once
❌ What Not to Do:
❌ Don’t mix NMN with hot liquids (heat = bad)
❌ Don’t throw it in food (digestion = sabotage)
❌ Don’t assume more is better (your mitochondria are not a rave)
Bonus Tips:
🕒 Best Time to Take It: In the morning — to align with your natural NAD⁺ circadian rhythm.
📦 Store It Right: Cool, dry place. No sunbathing with your supplements.
🧊 Can You Refrigerate It? Yes. Should you? Also yes. Stability = longevity.
Conclusion:
Taking NMN the right way isn’t complicated — you just need to treat it like the molecular gold it is.
This isn’t collagen. This isn’t a vibe. This is science.
So stop disrespecting your cells. They deserve better than a fruit blender and false hope.
