Any plans for Nicotinamide Riboside?

Any idea why it’s so expensive on the market? As a 29 year old I can feel the effects with running and setting PRs but sadly had to stop due to how expensive it is and my mile time dropped back dramatically since.

It's very expensive to make. You need to do a enzymatic technique to get pure NMN. Only recently have they been able to optimize it a bit to get the costs down. It was 3X the price up until recently. There was cheap normal synthetic NMN out there, but it was only testing at 60-70% pure. That's what everyone was selling. It's hard for us to compete being so high priced when people are comparing apples to oranges.
