## Description

In mammals, NAD+ is rebuilt through a salvage route, and the step just before NAD+ is nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) — a pyridine nucleotide. Despite being sold among peptides, NMN is a small molecule: CAS 1094-61-7, C11H15N2O8P, 334.22 g/mol. The route's bottleneck enzyme, NAMPT, joins nicotinamide to PRPP to make NMN; then one of three adenylyltransferases (NMNAT1–3) transfers an adenylyl group from ATP to complete NAD+.

Three presentations suit three kinds of work. Labs that prefer to weigh their own stock can take the crystalline powder (500 mg); when every dose should be identical, there are capsules of 250 mg, sixty per bottle; and for experiments in solution there is an injectable-grade 500 mg vial. As the powder draws in moisture, allow any container to reach room temperature before you open it so no condensation forms, and dissolve NMN only when you need it — in warm or alkaline water it hydrolyses more quickly. Typical research topics are flux through NAD+ salvage, the biology of sirtuins and PARPs, mitochondrial metabolism, and models of vascular and metabolic ageing — often run next to nicotinamide riboside and NAD+ so that loading a precursor can be compared with supplying the coenzyme outright.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where does NMN sit relative to NR and NAD+?

NMN is a single enzymatic step from NAD+ — it only needs adenylylation by NMNAT. Nicotinamide riboside is one step further back and has to be phosphorylated first, while NAD+ is the complete dinucleotide. Comparing all three is a routine part of salvage-pathway research.

### Is NMN checked by an independent lab?

Yes. An outside laboratory runs HPLC on every lot, confirming a minimum of 99% purity, and checks identity; the resulting Certificate of Analysis is available for your batch. Before starting work, make sure it carries the same lot number as your container.

### What are the storage requirements?

Freeze the powder at −20 °C in a closed container, protected from light and humidity — it is hygroscopic and soaks up water fast. Warm the container before opening so condensation can't form, prepare water-based solutions fresh and keep them at 2–8 °C for short periods only.

### Does NMN count as a peptide?

No — it is a nucleotide, not a peptide: nicotinamide riboside with a phosphate on its 5' carbon, formula C11H15N2O8P. We carry it because the mitochondrial and ageing research that uses many of our peptides also uses NMN.
