so many suppliers
There are so many faceless NMN suppliers now flooding the marketplace with NMN supplements. What can you do to separate the wheat from the chaff so you can evaluate where to buy NMN?
The bottom line is that the NMN suppliers just want your money and they will use all the marketing techniques at their disposal to separate you from your hard-earned cash, but that is normal, they are not breaking the law and nobody goes into business to lose money. As an informed buyer you need to be looking for the things they are ‘not saying’ and the certificates they are ‘not posting’ on their website or Amazon page.
NMN is expensive, so you need to be sure that when you do finally hand over your hard-earned cash, you get exactly what you want. This article will cover the things that I look for when I plan an NMN supplier website review and decide where to buy NMN.
three main elements
There are three main elements or factors that I look at when assessing an NMN supplier’s suitability and deciding where to buy NMN. Each element has more than one sub-element and this dynamic list changes as more and more suppliers emerge and use ever more cunning marketing techniques and ‘double-speak’ text. My initial list of elements and sub-elements has vastly increased since I posted my on this subject in January 2020.
due diligence
This is the first element I look at when I think about where to buy NMN, however it is an aspect that should cover the whole review and it certainly isn’t the first step that needs to be complete before moving onto the second.
The first area to look at is their website or Amazon page, this is their main selling tool and it is their online face. Professionally designed webpages are aimed at luring you in with evocative photographs, convincing advertising copy on quality and scientific facts for credibility. Some marketing platforms such as and eBay have a certain level of credibility attached to them, be sure not to automatically attribute this trust to NMN suppliers that use these platforms to sell; can be ‘here today gone tomorrow‘, with your money, these are not the supplies to choose when deciding where to buy NMN.
The aesthetics of the web-pages may also be an indicator, although a subjective decision a poorly designed website should be easy to spot, unfortunately with the rise of websites such as , it is also very easy to acquire a professionally designed site for a relatively small fee, so your due diligence cannot just be at the superficial level.
As you review more and more sites looking for where to buy NMN you will quickly see that the same type of text, especially the scientific data, is used time and time again, cutting and pasting or plagiarism may indicate a bad actor. In this the company didn’t even bother to proof read and remove the original company’s name.
Be cautious of statements such as ‘’ and ‘Manufactured in an FDA Approved Facility’, these statements are usually listed together to imply they go hand-in–hand. Made in the USA can mean that the raw NMN is shipped in from another country i.e. China and then only weighed, encapsulated and packaged in the USA. The statement ‘Manufactured in an FDA Approved Facility’ in some cases may lead you to believe that said facility is also in the USA; the .
When thinking about where to buy NMN, these may be two questions you may want to ask a prospective supplier:
Do you ship your raw NMN from China and is your FDA production (not packaging) facility in the USA? If they do reply (many won’t), read the answer very carefully, are they giving you a straight yes/no answer or are they answering like a politician? It is not a secret that the bulk of NMN is produced in China, but if a company is trying to hide that fact, what else are they hiding?
third part testing
When deciding on where to buy NMN a supplier must be able to show you third party test certificates for purity and . It is important that certificates are on display on the website and are not only available on request.
There are a number of testing laboratories that test NMN for suppliers, at the time of writing this article . and appear to be credible and popular among the more established suppliers.
If you want to personally send a sample for third party testing, NMN powder (usually marketed as pure, ultra-pure etc.) won’t be an issue, however if you wish to send NMN that has been mixed with another compound such as resveratrol or a filler if the NMN is sold in capsules, be aware that it will be almost impossible to check the purity of the NMN.
cost
Cost is an important metric to consider when deciding on where to buy NMN, it is another way you can use to gauge supplier suitability, by checking a number of suppliers for both powder and capsules you will get an idea of the average cost per gram.
Also look out for NMN that is mixed into another compound such as resveratrol; the simple calculation of price divided by quantity becomes more difficult especially if there aren’t equal measures of each compound.
Unfortunately, I had to close comments on the Blog because of spammers, more than fifty a day! If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section of this video: https://bit.ly/3hXC5yY
conclusion
Choosing an NMN supplier and deciding where to buy NMN is difficult enough now, it took me a long time to settle on . As more and more companies fight for their share of the market and if positive NMN human trail data is released in the future, I fear this minefield of NMN suppliers will become even more saturated and by the law of averages some of those suppliers will be bad actors.
