I'm excited that their NMN is back in stock. Apparently supply is limited.

Is this NMN similar to liposomal NMN? Just wondering, what the real difference in enteric versus encoating the NMN in fats is.

To be honest, liposomal is just a buzzword most of the time. There is a distinct lack of analytical data showing that things companies are claiming to be are even in a liposome. Companies can just claim it is liposomal, and most labs can't verify either way. You can use some scanning electron microscopes to verify if a liposome exists in a sample, but that doesn't prove that the particles themselves are surrounded by them. It also doesn't prove that the liposome is doing anything to improve bioavailability. Here at Nootropics Depot, we only release things we can get hard scientific data confirming in the lab. If we can't verify things in the lab so that we can put our reputation and name behind them, we don't. I do think that liposomal delivery systems can be good for certain things, and do work. The issue is the the vast majority of companies out there just slap some raw material into a sonicator with soy lecithin, then call that a liposome, which it is NOT. They certainly don't do the proper analytical lab work to verify things are in spec enough to even call liposomes. So the issue is not really with liposomal delivery systems themselves. It's with the garbage that the industry has put out being called liposomes, and the lack of validated scientific data behind it all.
