NMN has become an increasingly familiar name in the world of nutritional supplements. Short for Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, NMN is a naturally occurring compound that has attracted interest as consumers become more familiar with specialist nutritional ingredients and place greater emphasis on understanding what supplements contain, how they are formulated and the quality of the ingredients used.
Raw Living sells Kiki Health NMN, the highest quality NMN supplement available.
What is NMN?
NMN stands for Nicotinamide Mononucleotide. It is a nucleotide-derived compound found naturally within the body and is related to nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3.
NMN belongs to a group of molecules known as nucleotides. Chemically, it consists of a nicotinamide component together with a ribose sugar and phosphate group.
NMN is also described as a precursor compound because it forms part of the biochemical pathways involved in the formation of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, better known as NAD+. NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme found within cells and is involved in numerous biochemical reactions within the body.
This relationship between NMN and NAD+ is one of the reasons NMN has become a subject of scientific interest and an increasingly recognised specialist supplement ingredient.
NMN is present naturally in small amounts within the body and can also be found in trace quantities in certain foods. In supplements, NMN is provided as a concentrated and precisely measured ingredient, allowing the quantity per capsule or serving to be clearly stated.
Why is NMN used in supplements?
As consumer interest in ingredient science has grown, so too has interest in compounds that occur naturally within the body and can be produced to a consistent specification for use in food supplements.
Unlike more familiar vitamins and minerals, NMN is a specialist ingredient, and products can vary in their formulation and specification. Differences may include the purity of the raw material, manufacturing method, amount provided per capsule, additional ingredients and capsule format.
This makes transparency particularly important when comparing NMN supplements.
Rather than focusing on broad promises, consumers can look at objective product information: the form of NMN used, the quantity supplied per serving, its stated purity, the manufacturing approach and the complete ingredient list.
These details provide a straightforward way to understand the formulation and compare different NMN products.
Why purity matters when choosing NMN
Purity is an important consideration for ingredients produced through specialised manufacturing processes. An NMN ingredient can be assessed for its identity, composition and the presence of unwanted materials before being used in a finished supplement.
KIKI Health NMN has a purity of at least 99.8%. It is produced using enzymatic technology, with batches screened and quality-checked before encapsulation.
For customers comparing products, a clearly stated purity specification provides useful information about the composition and specification of the raw material.
How is KIKI Health NMN made?
KIKI Health NMN is made using an enzymatic conversion process. The process begins with nicotinamide riboside, which is converted into NMN before the finished ingredient is purified and encapsulated.
Enzymatic processing is one method used in the manufacture of specialist nutritional ingredients. Enzymatic processing provides a controlled method for producing NMN to a defined specification and purity.
The finished KIKI Health formulation has been intentionally kept simple. It contains β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, with a capsule shell made from hypromellose.
There are no artificial colours, carriers, preservatives, sweeteners or fillers listed in the formulation.
How much NMN is in each capsule?
Each KIKI Health NMN capsule contains 500 mg of β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules, providing 60 servings when taken at the recommended intake of one capsule per day.
A clearly defined serving size makes it easier to understand exactly how much NMN is being provided. This can be particularly helpful when comparing products, as capsule strengths, serving sizes and the number of capsules per bottle can vary between formulations.
Quality, simplicity and transparency
KIKI Health has been producing nutritional products since 1999, with an emphasis on carefully selected ingredients and straightforward formulations.
With NMN, that approach is reflected in a concise ingredient list, a defined 500 mg serving and a stated minimum purity level of 99.8%.
The formulation provides the key information customers may want when considering an NMN supplement: the precise form of NMN, the quantity supplied per capsule, the purity specification and the additional ingredients used.
This focus on clear product information allows customers to understand exactly what is contained within each capsule.
Frequently asked questions about NMN
Is NMN the same as NAD+?
No. NMN and NAD+ are different compounds. NMN is associated with biochemical pathways involved in the formation of NAD+, but the two terms should not be used interchangeably.
Is NMN a form of vitamin B3?
NMN is related to nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, but it is a distinct compound. It is more accurately described as a nicotinamide-derived nucleotide rather than simply as vitamin B3.
What does beta-NMN mean?
Beta-NMN, usually written as β-NMN, refers to the specific molecular form of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide used in the formulation. KIKI Health uses β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide in its NMN capsules.
How much NMN is in KIKI Health NMN?
Each capsule contains 500 mg of β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide. There are 60 capsules in each bottle.
