1. 70% OF NMN, THE KEY INGREDIENT FOR REJUVENATION, IS FAKE?
It is said that 70% of the products on the world market are fake NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide).
The quality of NMN is currently a mixed bag because of the aspect of being an expensive supplement due to the difficulty of the manufacturing process.
For example, an unannounced inspection by a third-party organization revealed that a large number of NMN products sold on major mail-order websites not only contain low amounts of pure NMN, but that there are even products distributed that contain no NMN at all.
In addition, when an unannounced survey of dietary supplements was conducted in the United States in 2013, only two of the 12 manufacturers surveyed were found to contain the active ingredients listed on the package in the amounts indicated on the label. Furthermore, some of the substances found in the study were even found to pose serious health risks to consumers.
FROM THESE INCIDENTS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT WITH THE RIGHT POINTS OF DISCERNMENT WHEN USING NMN SUPPLEMENTS AND NMN SERUMS.
2. HOW TO CHOOSE HIGH QUALITY NMN SUPPLEMENTS & NMN SERUMS
It is said that 70% of NMN on the market is fake.
Nevertheless, you want to try NMN, the hottest ingredient that holds the key to rejuvenation. Therefore, we would like to share with you some pointers on how to identify high quality NMN products.
There are five major points.
- HIGH NMN PURITY
- NMN CONTENT PER PRODUCT
- Are there documents or data that objectively and quantitatively prove the two items listed above?
- Is it a reliable manufacturer?
- IS THERE A PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT INTAKE OF HIGH QUALITY NMN?
THESE FIVE ARE IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT YOU GET REAL QUALITY NMN IN SUPPLEMENTS, SERUMS, ETC.
2-1. HIGH PURITY OF NMN (NICOTINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE)
NMN, A HOT TOPIC AMONG THOSE INTERESTED IN ANTI-AGING CARE, VARIES IN PURITY DEPENDING ON ITS PURIFICATION METHOD. IN GENERAL, THE HIGHER THE PURITY, THE HIGHER QUALITY NMN. LOWER PURITY SUGGESTS A MIXTURE OF IMPURITIES, SO NMN PURITY IS AN IMPORTANT CHECKPOINT FOR SAFE USE OF NMN PRODUCTS.
2-2. SUFFICIENT NMN CONTENT
Even if high purity NMN raw materials are used, if they are only contained in trace amounts, they are naturally not effective and their quality is not good.
When choosing an NMN product, it is important to check whether it contains a sufficient amount of high quality NMN raw materials and whether they are listed as numerical values on the product's ingredient label It is important to check whether the product contains a sufficient amount of high-quality NMN raw materials and whether they are listed numerically on the product's ingredient label.
2-3. Objective and quantitative proof is available.
Today, it is said that 70% of NMN raw materials on the global market are fake.
In addition, it is difficult to determine whether NMN is genuine or not, and there are cases where NMN raw materials are used in products without knowing they are fake. In order to select high quality NMN products, it is important to have objective and quantitative certificates for the NMN raw materials contained in the products.
An important criterion for judgment is whether or not the authenticity, purity, and safety of NMN raw materials are measured by a reliable domestic third-party organization, and whether or not the results are made public.
2-4. Reliable manufacturer.
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A HIGH-QUALITY NMN PRODUCT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A DOCUMENT THAT CERTIFIES THAT IT IS A "GENUINE NMN RAW MATERIAL" FROM A THIRD-PARTY ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER, IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THERE ARE MANUFACTURERS WHO FALSIFY THESE CERTIFICATES, SO WHEN SELECTING NMN PRODUCTS, IN ADDITION TO CHECKING THE PRODUCT PACKAGING THOROUGHLY, DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK WHETHER THE COMPANY HAS A LONG HISTORY AND WHETHER IT IS A RELIABLE MANUFACTURER.
2-5. THERE IS A PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY TO EFFICIENTLY INGEST NMN.
It is said that NMN raw materials are traded at 400 million yen per kilogram.
It is also important how efficiently NMN, which is very expensive, can be ingested.
NMN is converted into a coenzyme called NAD+ after it is absorbed by supplements or applied to the skin by cosmetics.
NAD+ is responsible for maintaining bodily functions and youthful energy in all organisms. INFINIXX used its NAD+ levels as a measurement to test the absorption efficiency of NMN by stomach, sublingual, and intestinal sites.
<CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT NAD+.
AS A RESULT, IT WAS FOUND THAT NAD+ IS CONVERTED TO NAD+ 1.1 TIMES MORE EFFICIENTLY UNDER THE TONGUE AND 6 TIMES MORE EFFICIENTLY IN THE INTESTINE, WHEN THE ABSORPTION IN THE STOMACH IS SET AT 1. IN OTHER WORDS, TAKING AN NMN SUPPLEMENT THAT IS DESIGNED TO REACH THE INTESTINES CAN BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS TAKING 6 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF NMN CONTAINED.

BECAUSE IT IS A RARE AND EXPENSIVE INGREDIENT, WE WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON HOW EFFICIENTLY NMN CAN BE TAKEN IN.
3. POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING NMN SUPPLEMENTS & NMN SERUMS
IN ADDITION TO PURITY AND CONTENT, OBJECTIVE AND QUANTITATIVE PROOF, TRUST IN THE MANUFACTURER, AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY, THERE ARE OTHER POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING NMN PRODUCTS.
3-1. FOR NMN SUPPLEMENTS: "NMN" IS LISTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INGREDIENT NAME.
The label of a supplement product lists "Ingredient Names". Ingredient names are listed in order of increasing percentage by weight in the raw material.
In other words, NMN or "nicotinamide mononucleotide," the official name of NMN, is written first in the raw material name, which is the best proof that the product contains the highest amount of NMN.
First, check if NMN or nicotinamide mononucleotide is listed at the beginning of the ingredient name.
3-2. SUPPORTIVE INGREDIENTS OTHER THAN NMN ARE INCLUDED.
Both NMN supplements and NMN serums are made by blending various ingredients in addition to NMN raw materials. If you are going to take the trouble to incorporate NMN into your products, you may want to use products that are particular about ingredients other than NMN.
For example, in the case of NMN supplements,
- niacin
- niacinamide
- tryptophan
- VITAMINS (VITAMIN C, VITAMIN D, ETC.)
- COENZYME Q10
Also, be sure to check whether the product contains ingredients that support the conversion of NMN to NAD+, such as
In addition to supportive ingredients, we also recommend products that contain many food-derived ingredients that are good for the body, such as ginger powder, barley lactic acid fermentation solution GABA, odorless garlic extract, lactic acid bacteria, and folic acid.
IF IT IS AN NMN SERUM,
- Human gene-like biopeptide
- Human stem cell purified culture extract
It is also recommended that the selection criteria include the addition of support ingredients such as human-derived ingredients that are more familiar to our skin, or the inclusion of many ingredients that are attracting attention in the field of regenerative medicine.
3-3. FOR NMN SUPPLEMENTS: GRAS CERTIFICATION
One of the guidelines for selecting NMN supplements is GRAS certification, officially called "Self-Affirmed GRAS Certification," a system in which toxicology experts in the U.S. objectively evaluate whether a product is "safe for use in food" according to standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The GRAS is a system to evaluate the safety of a food product for use in the U.S. When exporting food products to the U.S., they are required to clear this certification.
In other words, NMN that has acquired GRAS certification means that it has been recognized as "safe to eat" in the United States, which is said to be the world's largest supplement market.
3-4. FOR NMN SUPPLEMENTS: MANUFACTURED IN GMP-CERTIFIED PLANTS
It is a fact that some supplements and health foods have safety and quality issues. In particular, because supplements are something you put in your mouth, you want to choose those with proper quality control and use them with peace of mind.
Therefore, a good indicator of quality is whether the product is manufactured at a "GMP standard-certified factory" that meets manufacturing process control standards built on pharmaceutical hygiene management.
GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice, which refers to Good Manufacturing Practice. It certifies that proper manufacturing management and quality control are in place throughout the entire process from receiving raw materials to shipping products.
When selecting NMN supplements, it is also recommended to check for the GMP mark, which certifies that the product is manufactured in a "GMP-certified factory". It is also recommended to check for the GMP mark, which certifies that the product is manufactured in a GMP-certified factory.
summary
Because it is a hot topic, NMN needs to be determined if it is real or not.
Let's review some important points to consider when choosing an NMN supplement or NMN serum.
- HIGH NMN PURITY
- NMN CONTENT PER PRODUCT
- Whether there are documents and data that objectively and quantitatively prove the two items listed above
- Is it a reliable manufacturer?
- WHETHER THERE IS A PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT INTAKE OF HIGH-QUALITY NMN
In addition to these five points, the following points should also be checked
- DOES IT CONTAIN SUPPORTIVE INGREDIENTS OTHER THAN NMN?
- IS THE COMPANY GRAS CERTIFIED?
- IS THE PRODUCT MANUFACTURED IN A GMP-CERTIFIED PLANT?
PLEASE KEEP THE ABOVE POINTS IN MIND, CHOOSE HIGH-QUALITY, GENUINE NMN PRODUCTS, AND EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF NMN BECAUSE THEY ARE THE REAL THING.
