Many people probably wonder, "There are so many types of NMN supplements, but which one is actually the best?"
Hello. I am Yoko Maeda, the Director of Aesthetic Medicine at BIANCA CLINIC.
In recent years, NMN has gained attention in the fields of anti-aging care and health maintenance, but it has been reported that there are significant differences in the quality of supplements.
This time, we explain the basics and characteristics of NMN. Based on research findings, we introduce key points to consider when choosing NMN supplements.
What is NMN?
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a vitamin-like substance naturally produced in the body. It is a precursor to NAD+.
NAD is thought to influence energy production and cellular repair functions, but it decreases with age.
Research suggests that supplementing with NMN may provide the following benefits by replenishing mitochondrial energy sources and activating the longevity-related enzyme "sirtuin":
-
Support for reduced fatigue and metabolic function
-
Maintaining bone and vascular health
By the way, foods rich in NMN include edamame, broccoli, and cucumbers. To consume 100mg of NMN per day, you'd need about 40kg (roughly 2000 heads) of broccoli.

Getting enough NMN just from your diet seems a bit difficult, doesn't it?
"Which NMN Supplement is Best?" Issues Revealed by the Survey
NMN supplements have high raw material costs, sometimes reaching tens of thousands of yen for a one-month supply.
Although prices have fallen in recent years, it can still be considered relatively expensive.
On the other hand, it is also true that there are investigative reports stating that "inexpensive NMN supplements may not contain the active ingredient."
For example...
-
In the United States, cases have been reported for several years now where NMN is not detected in some products sold on Amazon.
-
In Japan, an Asahi Shimbun investigation analyzed products with numerous Rakuten reviews and top-selling Amazon items. NMN was not detected in two of the eight products examined.
This test employs a method capable of detecting even trace amounts of components, revealing significant variations in the quality of NMN supplements depending on the product.
Key Considerations When Choosing NMN Supplements

If you're going to take NMN supplements, you'll want to choose ones you can trust for quality.
-
Is it a reliable company or manufacturer?
-
Is the ingredient amount clearly stated (e.g., at least 500mg per day as a guideline)?
-
Are there inspection results or evidence from third-party organizations?
When purchasing NMN supplements, consider these points.
Summary|Choose NMN supplements from reputable manufacturers
NMN supplements aren't exactly cheap, so it's only natural to wonder which one is best.
That's precisely why we want to carefully assess whether the ingredients are properly included, rather than choosing based solely on price.
Choose the supplement that's right for you and incorporate the power of NMN into your daily life.
