NMN: Where I’d Start

NMN supplement

I took NMN for 45 days for my video. The one I tested isn’t sold anymore, so this is where I’d start if you want to try it yourself. I haven’t tested these ones, but they all tick the boxes I’d look for: the NMN dose is clear on the label, and they state their purity or third-party testing.

  • ProHealth Longevity Essentials NMN Powder

    The closest to what I used, because it’s a powder. You get 1,000 mg of NMN per scoop, and it’s third-party tested for purity and potency, which is what you want from something this pricey.

  • ProHealth Longevity Essentials NMN 500

    Same brand in capsules, if you’d rather skip the powder. 500 mg per capsule and third-party tested for purity and potency.

  • California Gold Nutrition NMN Powder

    Another powder, at 300 mg per scoop. It’s 98% pure NMN, made in a third-party audited facility, and the 30 g tub has enough scoops to cover the 45 days I’d give it.

  • California Gold Nutrition NMN 175 mg

    A lower dose at 175 mg per capsule, also 98% pure. One of the cheaper ways to see how you get on with NMN before spending more.

Before you buy, here’s what I learned

  • Don’t expect anything for the first two weeks. I nearly quit. My effects only started around week three.
  • Give it at least 45 days before you decide whether it works for you.
  • What I noticed was more energy in the gym and less soreness after heavy sessions. I didn’t see any anti-ageing effect.
  • Watch out for overtraining. With more energy and less soreness, it’s easy to push harder than your body can handle.
  • It isn’t cheap. Get your sleep, diet and training sorted first, because that’s where your money does more.
