NMN with a STING inhibitor preserved bone in aging mice
A study in middle-aged mice found that NMN combined with the STING inhibitor H-151 preserved bone density and structure, increased new bone formation and reduced inflammation. The results are preliminary and limited to animals.

What the research shows
A study in mice reported that combining NMN with the STING inhibitor H-151, given to middle-aged animals, preserved bone density and structure. According to the study, the combination also increased new bone formation and reduced inflammation. Because this research was done in animals, the findings do not show how the same effect would work in people.
Bone loss is common with aging and is linked to more fragile bones over a lifetime. Animal studies are an early step: they help researchers understand biological mechanisms, but many substances that work in mice are not shown to be safe or effective in humans. This result should be read as a lead for future research, not as a treatment option available today.
What it means
The study suggests that inflammation and bone formation are part of the processes involved in bone loss with age. It is not yet known whether these effects would occur in people, or how safe or strong they would be.
How to read it with care
A result obtained in animals does not replace a medical consultation. Anyone considering changes to diet, supplements or any bone treatment should talk to a doctor or another qualified health professional.
