Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is one of the most counterfeit molecules in the world. A study in the USA recently tested 22 different providers - with devastating results. More than half offered no real or only low-quality NMN. This was the reason for us to create a short guide for you to buy real NMN.
Have NMN tested yourself:
This is very safe, but unfortunately also very expensive. Depending on the laboratory, you have to 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, which have long been our partners for reliable controls of our product batches.
Look for current certificates of analysis:
Transparency is everything. If a marketer or manufacturer of NMN cannot show current certificates of analysis, it is most likely fake NMN. With us you can find all the batches tested so far directly on the product page in the certificates tab.
Fluffy consistency
NMN basically has a very fluffy and loose consistency. If you compress it for longer, it tends to clump easily. But 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 noticeably cheap, it's best to stay away from it. The price comparison is based on the price per gram.
The Conclusion is: trust is good, but control is even better. Trusted manufacturers know about the problem with fake NMN and will provide you with all the necessary documents without hesitation.
We hope that you have found your trustworthy partner in MoleQlar. If not: good luck with your search using the guide above!
