This small molecule peptide functions as a selective nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor, targeting cellular metabolism at its source
Your doctor also will review your medical history for medical illnesses (diabetes, immune disorders) or surgeries, such as stomach removal, that can lead to B 12 deficiency
