The compound appears to work by increasing intracellular NAD+ levels (through preventing nicotinamide consumption by NNMT), which activates sirtuins and enhances mitochondrial function and fatty acid oxidation, while also promoting a phenomenon called "browning" of white adipose tissue - the transformation of energy-storing white fat cells into metabolically active beige/brown adipocytes that burn fatty acids for thermogenesis rather than storing them
The gel complex appeared to have the potential to induce closure of 98.5% of plantar ulcers whereas the control only reportedly induced 60.8% of ulcer healing
