Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is one of the most counterfeited molecules in the world. A study in the USA recently tested 22 different suppliers - with devastating results. More than half offered no genuine NMN or only inferior NMN. This prompted us to create a short guide for you on how to buy genuine NMN.
Have NMN tested yourself:
This is very safe, but unfortunately also very expensive. Depending on the laboratory, you can expect costs of €150-300 for this. Purities of less than 99% are in any case worse than the current industry standard. We recommend the Arotop Laboratories in Mainz, who have long been our partners for reliable testing of our product batches.
Look for current certificates of analysis:
Transparency is everything. If a distributor or manufacturer of NMNs cannot show current certificates of analysis, it is highly likely to be a fake NMN. You can find all previously tested batches directly on the product page in the certificates tab.
Fluffy consistency
NMN powder generally has a very fluffy and loose consistency. If it is compressed for longer, it tends to clump slightly. However, this has no consequences for the quality of the chemical.
Price:
Although the price of NMN has fallen steadily in recent years, it remains a comparatively expensive molecule. If a product is conspicuously cheap, it is best to stay away from it. The price per gram is suitable for price comparison.
The conclusion is: trust is good, but control is even better. Trustworthy manufacturers know about the problem with fake NMNs and will provide you with all the necessary documents without hesitation.
We hope that you have found a trustworthy partner in MoleQlar. If not: Good luck with your search using the guide above!
