Where is ND’s NMN Sourced from? What analytical test is giving for the purity and quality of each batch.

Tru Niagen NMN is patented right. I hear that there NMN isn’t synthesized in china but made in the USA. That makes people of there knowledge of thinking that they can’t trust any other NMN because of consistent and reliable source of having it patented by W.R Grace.

Tru Niagen doesn't sell NMN. They sell nicotinamide riboside. Also, anyone can say anything they want, just like my stupid Lithuanian free range model story. Could they be making it here in the US? Could be. I would have no way of knowing or proving that, nor would anyone else.
Like it or not, China has the most fleshed out vertically integrated supply chain in the entire world. They also have very competent synthetic chemists. If you hold them to high standards, they make things as pure as any world class lab anywhere in the world. It's just that most brands don't hold them to those high standards, so they cut corners. We hold things to standards not seen outside the pharma industry, and our partners in China know we won't accept anything less than perfect. Regardless, the country that the lab is in is irrelevant. We have suppliers in China, India, USA, Italy, UK, Germany, Poland, South Africa, Australia, etc. We test the raw materials to the same level regardless of country of origin, and we have had to fail batches from US suppliers before as well. It's all about holding your specific supplier to tight standards, and using validated chemistry in the lab to prove it.
