NMN for Patients Concerned About Liver Health
Malaysia's NAFLD prevalence is ~30% of adults. Patients with elevated ALT, fatty liver on ultrasound, or chronic hepatitis B/C should approach NMN cautiously. Mechanism is positive - NAD+ supports mitochondrial fatty-acid oxidation - but liver-specific NMN trials are limited. Get baseline ALT/AST/GGT before starting. Recheck at 3 months. Stop if liver enzymes rise. Ensure NMN brand has third-party purity testing - adulterated supplements pose hepatotoxic risk.
Key considerations
- Baseline ALT/AST/GGT
- Re-test at 3 months
- Stop if enzymes rise
- Third-party purity verification
- Hepatologist consultation
