I don’t know how other supplement subs are still able to badmouth ND

I came across this post on the NMN sub:
I cannot believe some of the quackery on here. ND has gone far and above to prove their purity… but even despite that a lot of people are making unfounded claims. The OP himself even said the NMN worked but thought maybe it was laced with something else for the energy.

Appreciate it! It’s hard to be taken seriously by contract manufacturers when your order quantity is 1000-1500 and the ones that do take you seriously, don’t prioritize you. Right now, I’m getting samples from a CM that third party tests everything but only for contaminants and heavy metals. This makes me rely on COA’s for authenticity, kind of worries me. It’s tough because I don’t have a large budget.

Yeah, economies of scale are a big thing. Just setup, take down, and cleaning of a machine can take 2-4 hours. Automatic encapsulation machines take longer to setup and clean, but can make way more capsules in a short period. However, you really only want to fire that machine up for runs of a million capsules or more. For lower than a million, semi autos are what is best. They are much slower, but you need a lot less time for setup and cleanup. Doing things right is a pain in the ass. It takes a lot of time and labor, which is why it costs so much. Contract manufacturers are businesses, too. They make money through volume. Most won't even talk to you for small runs. It's just not in their business model.
