I've read that NMN supplements are frequently contaminated with LPS (endotoxin) - does ND test for that?

Thanks for your detailed answer. Bacterial contamination can occur during compounding though, for example if the same machines have been used for probiotics, which can be expected to have LPS producing bacteria.
Oral ingestion of NMN isn’t likely to be risky, but thresholds for toxicity’s for IV and possibly liposomal could be much lower. I understand the former is an extreme case, but a few people on the boards have been doing this.
Do you have an opinion on this?

Bacterial contamination can occur. However, we test separately for that. There wouldn't be any way for bacterial contamination to create LPS, but leave no trace of the bacterial contamination itself. Also, we don't process any probiotics or live microorganisms on any of our equipment, so there would be no risk of cross contamination. If we ever do get into probiotics, it will likely be set up on completely separate production lines.
