Hello, is taking NMN worth the money?
What they were answering

Every batch of NMN I have tested over the last year has either been fake, very impure, or full of arsenic. Pure NMN would be worth the money. I have not found it yet.

No, I would ask them for their ICP-MS results and HPLC assay results. I've literally been searching and testing for over a year for us to bring it out. It's issue after issue with every single batch we get in. I got one

Negative. They don't have any heavy metals results for their stuff.

They don't appear to be testing heavy metals. You need ICP-MS results for every batch to catch it. I'll buy some of their powder to run through our lab.

My lab director thinks it might be the water quality of the lab making it. There are only a few labs making NMN, and they are in the same region. If the local water supply is high in arsenic, it could be accumulating in

It's hard to give a number that is not skewed, as I usually test things that I think might have a problem. I'd say at least 50% of the things I test have issues. I am going to be testing a lot wider sample of stuff soon.

Chromadex owns the patent for NR, and licenses it to TruNiagen and Elysium. So they have a vested interest in promoting NR over NMN. The research I have seen shows that NR raises liver NAD+, but not systemically. I have

My pleasure!

I am not sure we have bought directly from Lyphar and tested it, but there are only a couple labs actually making NMN. Every Chinese suppliers claims to be the one making it. That's not the case, though. They are middle

>Chromadex is in a bitter patent, contract, and "other" legal dispute with Elysium who is most definetly not licensed to use the patents. Chromadex use to supply NR to Elysium but clearly for some reason things went sout

The science always is lagging behind the hype. Hype is easy. Science is not. People want to believe the things they read about improvements, so they write off the difficulties of actually providing pure compounds to test

That's the same lab that Alive By Nature uses. If you look deeper at their COAs, you can see they are using the same test method number, MQLTM-1126, for different methodologies... So one of their tests says MQLTM-1126 fo

I was the one that popularized Semax years ago, and made it more affordable on Ceretropic. Before that, all that was available were the nasal drops that were selling for $180 for a small bottle. We were the first to brin

Yeah, NMN is a tough one right now. We just got testing results back for another sample of NMN from a new batch. This one was WORSE on arsenic! 2.6ppm this time. Our spec is 0.5ppm or less. So something is going on with
LOL, I ranted about /r/NMN in the below post. https://www.reddit.com/r/NootropicsDepot/comments/13ws2uw/i_dont_know_how_other_supplement_subs_are_still/ One of the moderators has a flair on his account that says: ["I l
LOL, /r/NMN is shilled to shit. I have tagged so many Renue/ABS shills over the years. I just went on one of the current posts on there asking which NMN vendor is best, and there are THREE Renue shills suggesting them in
Replying to drop0dead · This is the second year this has happened while I'm out of work, makes me want to cry. If I had any cash I'd get centrophenoxine, agmatine, skull cap, kava, nmn, nr, and ginger.
PM me when you are back working. I will get you taken care of.
I can't always tell you guys everything I would like to. Sometimes I am told not to by legal counsel, and other times I am legally forced not to by NDAs and gag orders. I don't just ignore you because I think it is funny
Endotoxin is only an issue for bacterially-made NMN/NR. This is where they use modified Escherichia coli to biosynthesize NMN. This was being done a lot a couple years ago. However, we don't use that synthesis method. Ou
Hmm, I am proud of a lot of them. I would say tongkat ali or NMN for effects and how much I personally like them. I would say Shoden for the scientific work we put in to it. I am honestly still very proud of Immune Defen
