6 NMN Supplements Compared
Reviewed by Ally Yuan, Master of Nutrition & Dietetics · Last reviewed 24 September 2026 · How we review
NMN or nicotinamide mononucleotide has become one of the most talked about supplements in the healthy ageing space, and for good reason.
- Health advice
- May 01, 2026
Mr Vitamins stocks six NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) supplements, from 250 to 500 mg per serve, in capsule, tablet and powder form. One is a listed medicine (AUST L 522997), and the TGA limits listed medicines to 500 mg of NMN a day. This guide compares all six on dose, purity, format and cost per serve, so you can choose the right one with confidence.
It's a direct precursor to NAD+, a coenzyme found in every single cell in your body that's involved in energy production and cellular metabolism. The catch? NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age, and studies of human tissue suggest NAD+ levels fall substantially between early adulthood and middle age [2]. That's where NMN comes in.
More Australians are adding NMN to their daily routine because they're thinking longer-term about how they age.
With a growing number of products on the market, it's not always easy to know what you're actually getting. Dose, purity, format, and manufacturing standards all matter when it comes to NMN, and not all products are created equal.
We've put together this guide to help you compare the NMN supplements available through Mr Vitamins, so you can make a confident and informed decision.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your healthcare professional.

What is NMN?
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a molecule your body uses to make NAD+, a coenzyme involved in energy production and cellular metabolism.
What makes a high-quality NMN supplement?
NMN products vary more than most people realise, and the differences directly affect whether you're getting the dose on the label. Before comparing specific brands, here's what separates a well-made NMN supplement from an average one.
- High purity & the correct form. Look for at least 99% Beta-NMN, as the beta form is the stable, bioavailable form used in research.
- Independent, verifiable testing & GMP manufacturing. Prefer products tested by a named, verifiable laboratory, ideally with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), and manufactured in a GMP-certified facility.
- Correct Australian regulatory status. Check that the product clearly states its regulatory category. Where applicable, look for an AUST L number and verify it on the TGA's ARTG register. Products without an AUST L may fall into other categories, such as sports foods or practitioner-compounded products.
- Stable formulation & appropriate packaging. NMN can degrade when exposed to heat, moisture and light, so quality products should use protective packaging and clearly state storage requirements.
- Evidence-aligned dosing. Look for a suggested daily dose that aligns with research, generally 250 to 500 mg per day for general use. The TGA permits up to 500 mg per day in listed medicines, providing a useful reference point.
- Transparent sourcing & manufacturing. Look for brands that clearly disclose where the product is actually manufactured, rather than simply where it is sold. Australian-made and owned products can also be easier to verify for local manufacturing standards.
Every product in this guide was assessed against these criteria before being included, not just for what's on the label, but for how it's tested, made, and regulated. The comparison table further down sets out the format, dose, purity, regulatory status and cost per serve of all six side by side.
Comparing the NMN supplements we stock
1. Live More You NMN
- ${ variant.price | currencyFromCents } | ${ variant.title } ${ variant.price | currency } | ${ variant.title }
Our top pick
- 500 mg of 99.9% pure Beta-NMN in every scoop (Mr Vitamins stated), the full daily amount on the label
- 60 full 500 mg serves in one 30 g tub, so a single scoop covers the day
- Formulated by Mr Vitamins as part of our own Live More You range
- Unflavoured powder: start with part of a scoop and build up to one full scoop, as the label directs
Best for: A full 500 mg daily dose from Mr Vitamins' own range
Our top pick: a full 500 mg daily dose in one scoop, formulated by our own team.
Live More You is Mr Vitamins' own brand, and this NMN powder is formulated by Mr Vitamins. Each scoop delivers 500 mg of 99.9% pure Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (Mr Vitamins stated), the most NMN a day the TGA permits in a listed medicine.
The 30 g container provides 60 serves, so a single scoop covers a full day's dose without any capsule counting. The label suggests starting with part of a scoop and building up to one full 500 mg scoop daily in 250 to 300 mL of water, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
It's a strong starting point if you want a full 500 mg dose in every scoop from Mr Vitamins' own range.
Key details: 30 g powder | 60 x 500 mg serves | 99.9% purity (Mr Vitamins stated) | Formulated by Mr Vitamins | Unflavoured
2. Primabolics NMN
- ${ variant.price | currencyFromCents } | ${ variant.title } ${ variant.price | currency } | ${ variant.title }
Best for starting low
- 250 mg Beta-NMN per vegetarian capsule, a gentle place to start
- Single active ingredient, with silica as the only processing aid
- Australian made and owned, 60 capsules per bottle
- Sold as a sports food rather than an AUST L listed medicine
Best for: Beginners who want to start at 250 mg in a capsule
Primabolics is an Australian-made and owned brand from the sports nutrition space.
Each NMN capsule delivers 250 mg of Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, and the product is formulated with a single-ingredient focus: no unnecessary fillers, just NMN and a small amount of silica as a flow agent, encapsulated in vegetarian HPMC shells.
This is a good option if you prefer a capsule format and want a straightforward daily dose. The recommended use is one capsule daily, though the dose can be adjusted based on your needs or practitioner advice.
It is manufactured in Australia and sold as a sports food rather than a listed medicine. The manufacturer does not publish a stated purity percentage, a named testing laboratory, or a Certificate of Analysis, so it does not meet all of the verification criteria set out above.
Primabolics positions this product as part of its broader health and wellness range, so it sits comfortably alongside other everyday supplements rather than being aimed strictly at biohackers or clinical users. A good starting point if you're new to NMN and want something locally made.
Key details: 250 mg NMN per capsule | 60 vegetarian capsules | Single-ingredient formula | Australian made and owned | Gluten free and dairy free
3. Switch Nutrition 100% Pure NMN Capsule
- ${ variant.price | currencyFromCents } | ${ variant.title } ${ variant.price | currency } | ${ variant.title }
Best 500 mg capsule
- 500 mg NMN per capsule, the most a listed medicine can provide in a day
- Manufacturer-stated purity above 99.9%, with third-party batch testing
- AUST L 522997, which you can check on the TGA's ARTG register
- Vegan friendly, no fillers, 60 capsules
Best for: One capsule a day at a full 500 mg, with an AUST L you can verify
Switch Nutrition is an Australian brand that states third-party purity testing on its NMN range.
Each capsule provides 500 mg of NMN at a manufacturer-stated purity of greater than 99.9%, which Switch Nutrition says is confirmed by third-party batch testing. The testing laboratory is not publicly named and Certificates of Analysis are not published.
The formula is a single ingredient: greater than 99.9% pure Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, no calories, no carbohydrates, no sugars, no fats. At 500 mg per capsule, it delivers the maximum daily amount permitted in an Australian listed medicine in a single capsule. Follow the directions for use on the label and do not exceed 500 mg per day.
If you prefer a single-capsule daily serve and want the reassurance of batch purity testing and an AUST L you can check, Switch Nutrition is worth considering.
Key details: 500 mg NMN per capsule | >99.9% purity, third-party tested | Vegan friendly | Clean formula, no fillers | 60 capsules per container | AUST L 522997
4. Switch Nutrition 100% Pure NMN Powder
- ${ variant.price | currencyFromCents } | ${ variant.title } ${ variant.price | currency } | ${ variant.title }
Lower cost per serve
- 500 mg NMN per scoop, around 60 serves in a 30 g tub
- Manufacturer-stated purity above 99.9%, single ingredient and unflavoured
- Powders usually cost less per serve than capsules; compare it live in the table below
- A powder, so you can take less than a full scoop while you build up
Best for: Value and flexible dosing in a powder
This is the powder version of the Switch Nutrition capsule above: the same single ingredient, a manufacturer-stated purity of greater than 99.9% Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, in an unflavoured powder rather than a capsule.
Each scoop provides 500 mg of NMN, and the 30 g tub holds around 60 scoops. Because you're not paying for capsules, the cost per 500 mg serve tends to be lower; compare the live cost per serve in the table below.
The powder format also makes it easy to take less than a full scoop while you find your dose, then build up. The label suggests taking it on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning. As with the capsule, the testing laboratory is not publicly named and Certificates of Analysis are not published, and the regulatory status is not stated on our listing, so check the label.
This suits anyone who wants a lower cost per serve and is comfortable measuring a powder.
Key details: 30 g powder | Around 60 x 500 mg serves | >99.9% purity (manufacturer stated) | Single ingredient | Unflavoured | No added gluten, dairy or soy ingredients
5. Enervite NMN 30000 Sustained Release Tablets
- ${ variant.price | currencyFromCents } | ${ variant.title } ${ variant.price | currency } | ${ variant.title }
Sustained-release tablet
- 500 mg NMN per tablet, made with CellVive NMN at a stated purity of 99% or higher
- Sustained-release tablet, designed to release NMN gradually rather than all at once
- 60 tablets at one a day
- The manufacturer states the CellVive raw material is made in a GMP-certified facility
Best for: People who prefer one tablet a day with a slower release
Enervite takes a different approach to format. Each tablet delivers 500 mg of NMN, and the tablet is designed as a sustained-release formula, releasing NMN gradually through the day rather than all at once.
The NMN used is CellVive NMN, a trademarked raw material that the manufacturer states is produced by enzymatic synthesis in a GMP-certified facility, at a purity of 99% or greater. The bottle holds 60 tablets, and the directions are one tablet daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
It costs more per 500 mg serve than the powders (see the live table below), so it's the pick for people who specifically want a single tablet with a slower release rather than the lowest price. A named testing laboratory and Certificate of Analysis are not published, and the regulatory status is not stated on our listing, so check the label.
Key details: 500 mg NMN per tablet | 60 sustained-release tablets | CellVive NMN, 99%+ purity (manufacturer stated) | One tablet daily
6. Give Back Health Clinic Collection NMN 25g
- ${ variant.price | currencyFromCents } | ${ variant.title } ${ variant.price | currency } | ${ variant.title }
Practitioner only
Practitioner-only product, dispensed under the care of a qualified naturopath. Request access on the product page to get started.
This one stands apart from the rest. Give Back Health's NMN is a product developed for clinical use and extemporaneous compounding, meaning it's designed to be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional who can incorporate it into a tailored health protocol. At Mr Vitamins it is dispensed under the care of a qualified naturopath, so you'll be asked to request practitioner access before you can buy it.
The formula is single-ingredient NMN with zero excipients: no fillers, no binders, no colours, no flavours, nothing extra whatsoever. Each level 0.5 mL scoop contains 250 mg of NMN, so the 25 g jar provides roughly 100 scoops.
Because this product is positioned for compounding and clinical use, directions for use are provided in consultation with your healthcare practitioner rather than as a standard over-the-counter recommendation. It's best suited to people working with a naturopath, integrative GP, or other health professional who is overseeing their supplement plan.
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, and refrigerate after opening to maintain potency.
Key details: 25 g single-ingredient NMN powder | 250 mg per 0.5 mL scoop | Zero excipients | Practitioner access required | Vegan, gluten free, allergen free

Prices update automatically from our store. Cost per 500 mg serve is the current price divided by the number of 500 mg serves in the standard pack. "Not ARTG listed" and "Sports food" mean the product is not an AUST L listed medicine; "Check label" means the regulatory category was not stated on our product listing at the time of review. Live More You NMN is Mr Vitamins' own house-formulated brand rather than an externally sourced product.
NMN is sensitive to heat, moisture, and light, which can cause it to degrade into plain nicotinamide over time. Capsules and tablets offer better built-in protection. Powders should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, ideally the fridge, once opened. All NMN products should be stored below 25°C. If you notice clumping, discolouration, or a change in smell, the product may have degraded.
NMN supplement side effects: what to know
Published human trials have generally reported good tolerability of NMN at the doses studied. In a 12-week randomised controlled trial at 250 mg per day, supplementation was well tolerated with no significant adverse effects reported [1]. Safety cannot be guaranteed for any supplement and individual responses vary, so always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Potential NMN side effects (usually mild):
- Digestive issues: nausea, bloating, gas, stomach discomfort
- Mild headaches (often in the first few days)
- Rare: cold-like symptoms or minor skin reactions
How to reduce side effects:
- Start low: 250 mg per day
- Increase gradually if needed
If symptoms show up, simply lower your dose and build up slowly.
Is NMN safe long-term?
- Trials of up to 12 weeks have reported good tolerability [1]
- Long-term data is still limited, so use thoughtfully
Bottom line: Start at a low dose, increase gradually if needed, and do not exceed the directions for use on the product label.
Important: Always speak with a healthcare professional before starting NMN, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an existing condition.
Everything you need to know about NMN
Are NMN supplements safe?
NMN has been studied in healthy adults, most commonly at daily doses between 250 mg and 500 mg. Australian listed medicines permit a maximum of 500 mg per day. Higher intakes have been used in research settings but are not appropriate for general use. That said, research into long-term use is still evolving, and individual responses can vary. If you have any underlying health conditions or are taking prescription medications, check with your doctor before starting NMN.
Can you take NMN with other supplements?
NMN is commonly combined with other supplements in healthy ageing routines. Resveratrol is a popular pairing, and CoQ10, vitamin B3 derivatives and alpha-lipoic acid are also regularly taken alongside NMN. As with any combination, check with your healthcare practitioner if you're unsure, particularly if you're also taking prescription medicines.
How long does it take for an NMN supplement to work?
This varies from person to person. The human trials in this area typically run for eight to twelve weeks before measuring results. NMN isn't a quick fix; it's best taken as part of a consistent routine, so give it a few months before deciding whether it suits you.
Is it better to take NMN or NAD supplement?
NMN is generally considered the more practical choice. While NAD+ itself is the molecule your body needs, oral NAD+ supplements are not readily absorbed through the gut in a usable form. NMN, as a direct precursor to NAD+, has been shown to raise blood NAD+ levels in human studies [1], and it is better studied in supplement form than NAD+ itself.
What are NMN supplements good for?
NMN is primarily associated with supporting NAD+ levels, which play a role in cellular energy production and metabolism. People commonly take NMN as part of a healthy ageing routine. Most of the stronger research to date has been in animal models, and while human trials are growing, the science is still catching up with the popularity of the supplement.
What time of day should you take an NMN supplement?
Morning is the most widely recommended time, ideally on an empty stomach, and several of the labels in this guide say the same.
What is the difference between NMN and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)?
Both NMN and NR are precursors that your body uses to produce NAD+, but they enter the pathway at different points. NMN is one biosynthetic step closer to NAD+ than NR, which means it requires one fewer conversion. Both have shown the ability to raise NAD+ levels in human studies. NMN is currently the more widely available option in the Australian supplement space; NR has been available for longer and has its own research base. Both are considered valid options.
How should I store my NMN supplement?
Store all NMN products in a cool, dry place below 25°C and away from direct sunlight. Powder formats are more sensitive to moisture and should ideally be refrigerated after opening. Capsules and tablets are generally more stable, but should still be kept away from heat and humidity. If your NMN has clumped, changed colour, or developed an unusual smell, it may have degraded and should be replaced.
Capsules vs powder: which NMN format is right for you?
- Convenience: Pre-measured, grab-and-go
- Dose accuracy: Exact mg per capsule, no measuring
- Travel-friendly: Easy to take on the move
- Better stability: Sealed shell protects against moisture
- Consider: Higher cost per serve; fixed dose increments
- Flexible dosing: Adjust up or down in small increments
- Better value: Lower cost per serve
- Easy to mix: Add to water, juice, or a shake
- Ideal for beginners: Start low and build gradually
- Consider: Requires a scoop or scale; more sensitive to storage
Which NMN product should you choose?
How to choose the right NMN supplement for you
Prioritise purity, dose, and transparency
- Look for at least 99% purity
- Choose brands that provide third-party lab testing for each batch (not just general claims)
Check TGA listing status
- Products with an AUST L number are listed on the ARTG; listed medicines are not evaluated by the TGA for efficacy before sale
- Look for the AUST L number on the product label and verify it on the TGA's ARTG register
Buy from trusted retailers
- Buy from established Australian retailers
- Avoid unknown or unverified international sources
Choose the right format for your lifestyle
- Capsules and tablets: convenient, travel-friendly, easy daily use
- Powder: flexible dosing, easier to adjust when starting out
Consider value for money
- Compare cost per 500 mg serve rather than headline price; powders often offer better value
Start with a sensible dose
- General starting range: 250 mg to 500 mg per day
- The TGA permits a maximum of 500 mg per day in listed medicines
- Do not exceed the directions on the label
Not sure whether NMN is the right call?
NMN suits fewer people than the category implies, and a practitioner can tell you which questions to answer first. Find Ally Yuan at our Ashfield store, or any of our practitioners in store. For a shorter general question, the Mr Vitamins online team offers a free 10-minute call.
Choosing an NMN supplement
NMN is a precursor to NAD+, and the best option depends on your goals. Live More You NMN is our own brand at a full 500 mg dose. Primabolics and the Switch Nutrition capsule are convenient capsule options, the Switch Nutrition powder offers value and flexible dosing, and Enervite suits anyone who wants a single sustained-release tablet. Start with 250 mg daily and choose a product with 99%+ purity, third-party testing, and ideally an AUST L listing on the TGA register.
