NMN Explained: How to Choose a High-Quality NMN Supplement in the UK
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a nutritional compound widely discussed in scientific research due to its role as a precursor to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme involved in normal cellular energy and metabolic processes.
This guide explains what NMN is, how to identify a high-quality NMN supplement, why capsule size and taste matter, and how to avoid low-purity or filler-heavy products.
What Is NMN?
NMN is produced naturally in the body and found in small amounts in foods. In nutritional science, NMN is studied for its role in supporting NAD levels, which are involved in normal metabolic and cellular energy processes.
As NAD levels naturally change with age, NMN appears frequently in discussions around healthy ageing and nutrition. NMN supplements are supplied as food supplements and are not medicines.
Why NMN Quality Matters
Not all NMN supplements are the same. Differences in purity, formulation, capsule size, and storage can affect stability, taste, and overall user experience.
Third-Party Testing
High-quality NMN supplements should be third-party tested to verify identity and purity. Independent laboratory testing helps confirm that a product contains NMN and not undeclared fillers or substitutes.
Capsule Size: Why Size 0 Matters
Capsule size is one of the clearest indicators of NMN quality. Pure NMN is dense, meaning a correctly filled size 0 capsule typically holds around 500–530mg without bulking agents.
- Size 0 capsules (~530mg): usually indicate minimal fillers
- Size 00 capsules: often used to bulk out lower-density powders
If a product claims 500mg NMN but uses an oversized size 00 capsule, this can indicate unnecessary fillers.
Taste & Aftertaste: Zesty vs Bitter
Pure NMN typically has a clean, slightly zesty or citrus-like taste.
A strong bitter or chemical aftertaste may indicate lower purity, poor storage conditions, or added fillers.
