The market for anti-aging and rejuvenation has always been booming. In 2020, we found that the NAD+family has emerged suddenly, especially NMN, which is more like a tornado and quickly stirred up a considerable storm.
So why can NMN be so powerful in the anti-aging market?
Fusce fermentum, sem et tempor molestie, turpis velit dignissim est, sit amet lobortis sapien ex at ante. Morbi vel tortor pharetra, placerat nulla vel, aliquam arcu. Vivamus cursus suscipit urna, ac tincidunt diam venenatis sed. Aliquam erat volutpat. Praesent vitae odio in diam euismod imperdiet et nec leo. Duis leo ante, fringilla vel egestas eget, porta sit amet orci.
The reason is actually very simple, mainly due to three reasons:
1. NAD+is a necessary substance for human survival.
NAD+participates in thousands of biocatalytic reactions in the human body and is an important support for maintaining cell vitality. If there is no NAD+, the person will die within 30 seconds.
2. Human desire for longevity.
Since Emperor Qin Shi Huang, humans have never stopped pursuing immortality. With the advancement of science and technology, people’s health and wellness goals are not only about longevity, but more importantly, the quality of life.
3. Found a way to live longer.
With the emergence of NAD+, people have discovered methods for healthy tolerance, and with multiple clinical studies in animals and humans, supplementing NMN is the best way to increase human NAD.
That is to say, if sufficient NMN can be supplemented, theoretically we humans can achieve a longer lifespan under high quality of life conditions.
But with more and more businesses entering the NMN market, more than ten NMN supplement brands will appear when searching for NMN casually, making it difficult for buyers. So, how should I choose the suitable NMN product for you?
How to choose a high-quality NMN?
1： Drug grade
The price difference of NMN on the market is huge now, with prices ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan. So why is there such a big price difference? It’s actually quite simple, that’s quality.
The higher the purity, the higher the product value. Purity not only refers to the purity of NMN, but we also need to ensure that the product does not contain other heavy metals and harmful substances.
So how should ordinary consumers judge purity and purity? It’s simple, it’s to determine whether the product manufacturer is producing according to drug grade!
What production method is not important, as long as the raw materials meet the drug standards, then no matter what production method, safety is definitely guaranteed.
Therefore, CGMP can be said to be the most basic criterion for judging NMN products. If there is no cheap product without CGMP, do not touch it.
There are many NMN brands in the market with lower prices, and the purity of the raw materials used in these brands is insufficient, and the degree of contamination of the raw materials is higher than the drug standards.
So before purchasing any brand of NMN, please ensure that the manufacturer has specific CGMP production standards.
Special attention: Capsules, powders, and some products with poor sealing techniques for bottle caps are also prone to contamination.
2： Fake NMN
Research on NAD+has been going on for over a hundred years, so there are also many complementary precursors for NAD+, such as NR/NADH/NAM. Many unscrupulous merchants will use these cheap raw materials to impersonate NMN.
Of course, these substances have partial effects and can also be converted into NAD+, but this is also a scam.
And many excessive merchants add inorganic substances, which will not harm people but have no effect, completely deceiving consumers.
3： Cost performance ratio
In fact, when purchasing a product, we ultimately need to look at the price, so regardless of which brand of NMN product we choose, after meeting the first two conditions, we need to consider its cost-effectiveness.
Therefore, what we need to look at is not only the price of one bottle of NMN, but also the price of each mgNMN in NMN products.
For example, a certain product contains 12480 mg of NMN per bottle and priced at 2520 yuan. And another product contains 9600 mg of NMN per bottle, priced at 2150 yuan.
Calculate:
- The NMN unit price of the first product=2520 yuan/12480mg=0.2019 yuan/mg
- The NMN unit price of the second product=2150 yuan/9600mg=0.2239 yuan/mg
- If the content of the first product is reduced to 9600mg, then the price is 9600mg * 0.2019 yuan=1938 yuan
- After calculation, it is evident that the first product has a lower NMN unit price and is a better choice.
In summary, choosing NMN products is actually quite simple:
- It must be a pharmaceutical grade production standard, and the manufacturer must have a CGMP certification certificate.
- Low priced NMNs are prone to doping with other cheap materials and prohibited substances, especially cross-border products that are prone to such problems.
- When buying NMN, don’t look at the price per bottle, but look at the price per milligram.
There are too many NMNs in the current Chinese market, but the purity, impurities, heavy metals, stability and other indicators of NMN products require professional instruments for testing, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
So the biggest question we are facing now is not whether we can buy NMN, but whether you are eating NMN or not?
