It is an intracellular metabolic-enzyme modulator, which is why its research read-outs are things like NAD+ levels and adipocyte gene expression, not how full you feel. That mechanistic distinction is the single most important thing to understand before looking at any dose number
Apart from that, it may also show neuroprotective properties and act as an agent against collagen production
Nitric oxide system modulation
Structured programs incorporating reduced-calorie diets (typically 500-750 kcal/day deficit), increased physical activity (150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly for weight loss
Functioning as a potent exercise mimetic, this small-molecule compound enhances mitochondrial function, fatty acid oxidation, and oxidative muscle fiber composition, thereby improving exercise endurance, cardiac metabolic efficiency, and systemic energy expenditure without increasing food intake 1-4 .
