Study Summary

This trial tests the effects of NMN, a nutrient, on physical fitness in healthy young adults. Volunteers needed!

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy, fit individuals aged 19-40 who regularly engage in high-intensity exercise and meet specific fitness criteria (VO2max of at least 40 mL/kg/min). Participants must have a BMI between 18.5 and 32, be willing to undergo intensive training or maintain usual activity based on group assignment, and not plan to become pregnant. Exclusions include certain medical conditions, use of performance-enhancing drugs or prohibited medications, competing athletes, and contraindications to MRI/MRS.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of MIB-626 (1000 mg NMN) versus placebo taken twice daily for ten weeks among highly physically fit men and women. It also examines the impact when combined with a standardized progressive high-intensity multidimensional exercise program compared to usual physical activities.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, potential risks may include reactions related to supplement intake such as gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions. Exercise-related injuries could occur due to the intensity of the training program.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Investigational Product - MIB 626 plus usual physical activity (MIB-626- UPA)Active Control2 Interventions
The MIB-626 will be a GMP-grade microcrystalline solid NMN mixed with inert excipients (including microcrystalline cellulose) and compressed into tablets at a dose strength of 500 mg per tablet, enabling administration of the 1,000 mg twice daily using two tablets taken twice daily.
Group II: MIB-626 plus standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise (MIB-626-Ex)Active Control2 Interventions
The MIB-626 will be a GMP-grade microcrystalline solid NMN mixed with inert excipients (including microcrystalline cellulose) and compressed into tablets at a dose strength of 500 mg per tablet, enabling administration of the 1,000 mg twice daily using two tablets taken twice daily.
Group III: Placebo plus usual physical activity (PL-UPA)Placebo Group2 Interventions
Matching placebo tablets will be provided by the study's Sponsor, Metro International Biotech, LLC.
Group IV: Standardized, progressive, high intensity, multidimensional exercise plus placebo (PL-Ex)Placebo Group2 Interventions
Matching placebo tablets will be provided by the study's Sponsor, Metro International Biotech, LLC.
