In mouse models of insulin resistance, it significantly inhibits NNMT activity in liver and muscle, reduces NAM methylation, increases intracellular NAD+, activates the SIRT1 pathway, promotes phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), enhances insulin signaling, improves insulin sensitivity, and increases glucose uptake and utilization
It acts as a crucial electron donor, sacrificing its own electrons to stabilize free radicals before they can attack the mitochondrial lipid membranes

Thats one of the nice things about it: you can run it alongside pretty much anything without worrying about hormonal complications
