NMN stability

Is all powder form of NMN unstable & basically worthless? I got a free jar from another vendor. I had a choice of several different supplements and before I picked the powder NMN I asked thier support team this very question. They told me that as long as I keep refrigerated it'll be ok. It's obviously going to get hot during shipping, I got it in 2 days but still. They also have no incentive to tell me one of thier products is garbage but I buy stuff from them that you guys don't carry and have had really good experiences with them. I decided to ask you because I always get the right info. Thanks

No, not worthless. When things break down, they don't go from 100% to 0%. They just reduce in potency over time. We felt that we could not maintain enough stability over long enough periods to justify selling NMN powder ourselves. That does not mean your NMN powder will be worthless a month after opening, though. I'd just keep it in the fridge and use it quickly.
I will say this enteric coating business seems to have made the NMN way more potent than when I was taking it in capsules, though. The stability improvement is one thing. The ability to get it all intact right to the transporters in the small intestine seems to be the magic piece.
