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 real NMN or only low-quality NMN. This prompted us to create a short guide for you on how to buy real NMN.
Test NMN yourself:
This is very safe, but unfortunately also very expensive. Depending on the laboratory, you have to expect costs of 150-300€. Purities below 99% are in any case worse than the current industry standardWe recommend the Arotop Laboratories in Mainz, who have long been our partners for reliable controls of our product batches.
Check for current analysis certificates:
Transparency is everything. If a distributor or manufacturer of NMN cannot show current analysis certificates, it is most likely fake NMN. You can find all the batches tested so far directly on our website. product page in the Certificates tab.
Fluffy consistency
NMN generally has a very fluffy and loose consistency. If you compress it for a longer period of time, 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 relatively expensive molecule. If a product is noticeably cheap, it is best to stay away from it. The price per gram is a good guide for price comparison.
The Conclusion is: trust is good, but control is even better. Trustworthy manufacturers know about the problem with fake NMN and will provide you with all the necessary documents without hesitation.
We hope you have found your trustworthy partner in MoleQlar. If not, good luck in your search with the guide above!
