A LEGAL QUESTION FOR... MrYouAreSoDumb

Hello MrYouAreSoDumb. Because of your background, I assume you know quite allot about the law in regard to supplements.
I guess you are familiar with the NAD+ precursors NMN and NR. Now people seem eager to use the reduced forms of them NMNH and NRH because they are more effective. Reduced NMN is being sold for high prices by one company, and reduced NR is not even sold to the public yet I believe. I could feel the difference from them, so they are worth taking.
So, let's say NMNH and NRH can be made at home from NMN and NR "very easily, very cheaply and very quickly", in a few minutes, spending $5 every few years on top of the cost of the NMN or NR. So basically people can have reduced NMNH and NRH for the same price as NMN and NR, made at home, easier than making a cup of coffee.
The question is... Will I be breaking any laws from sharing the information to easily make the reduced forms? So easy that not many will pay to buy them already reduced. I have not stolen anyone's technique for producing it, I just applied science. If I knew that NMN and NR were already in their oxidised forms, I would have made the reduced versions years ago.
So, I am wondering if legally I can…

Without getting into the science of it, simply dissolve MNM, NR into water in a small glass container, so it does not react with a plastic container, and drop a piece of magnesium metal ribbon into the water, and it will reduce into NMNH, NRH in minutes... First time you do it, leave it to see the full colour change to yellow, which is how you know it's reduced, then next time you can tell by the colour when it's fully reduced, takes minutes. You can leave the piece of magnesium in the glass container and use it a few times until it's dissolved away into magnesium hydroxide, which is perfectly safe. You can buy the magnesium ribbon on eBay for $5 or so.
Trust me, it works and it's that simple. Done it many times now.
