By blocking NNMT, 5-amino-1MQ promotes an increase in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a cofactor essential for cellular metabolism
Many nutrients have their action INSIDE the cell, which means that testing serum and blood levels just give us an indication of what may be available but that is assuming everything else is working properly: cellular activity, enzyme activity, receptor activity, etc
