Learn about NMN

NMN is a substance generated naturally in your body from vitamin B3 and plays a vital role in the activity of the cells.

NMN is a precursor of NAD+ (nicotinamide dinucleotide), a coenzyme that exists in the cells of all organisms. NMN is created in your body from vitamin B3 naturally, but your body gradually loses its ability to generate it as you get older.

NAD+ is contained in vegetables like edamame, broccoli or avocado, fruits and seeds, among others. If you eat 100 g of them, the NAD+ content would be around 2 mg, which is not enough for anti-aging purposes. For example, the total estimated in your red cells is 50 mg, but you may think that you are helping, even if it’s just a little.
However, the body’s ability to generate NAD+ decreases with age, and the intake from your diet is not enough to compensate that. To take 150 mg of NMN, you would need to eat around 12000 edamame beans or 2400 heads of broccoli. Just for argument’s sake, let’s note that you could also have around 600 avocados, 10000 shrimps, but those numbers are not very practical, either.
That is why it is important you take NMN by other external means.

 

The NMN that we need is β-NMN, which is naturally generated in our bodies. The other NMN, α-NMN, is something we don’t need and something not produced in us.
However, NMN manufactured by chemical synthesis for the sake of cost reduction will most probably end up being a mixture of α-NMN and β-NMN. Products that contain full β-NMN must be manufactured according to an extremely precise process, and that’s exactly what we are offering you: high-quality NMN supplements with the only NMN you should care about, β- NMN.

Most of the commercially available NMN products contain impurities. Some of these are not found in the human body by nature.
The Institute for Research on Productive Aging (IRPA) conducted some tests to determine what impurities were contained in 4 NMN samples from as many companies.
First, the samples were analyzed following the LC-UV method (1), and then the separation peaks that could be detected as impurities were tested by mass spectrometry (MS) to identify their components.
The results showed that the only impurity in our  NMN was 100%

In particular, the NMN from the "Self-Affirmed GRAS Company" contains as many as 6 types of impurities, and some of them are not considered substances found in vivo. Naturally this raises concerns regarding the kind of adverse effects that can result from the long-term intake of NMN with a large amount of impurities.

So, even if a product label reads “high-purity or premium”, we cannot ascertain what impurities it really contains. Also, please be aware that you can find on the market products which claim to contain NMN, but whose purity degree is low and its safety is not proven.
