Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between NR 98% and 99%?
The 98%/99% difference reflects total NR content measured via HPLC. Higher purity is positioned for premium applications requiring maximum potency.
Q2: How should NR be stored?
NR should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C), protected from light and moisture. Cold chain shipping is recommended.
Q3: What's the difference between NR and NMN?
Both NR and NMN are NAD+ precursors. NR (nicotinamide riboside) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) are different molecules but both convert to NAD+ in the body.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
NR is permitted as a novel food ingredient in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is the NR content measured?
NR content is quantified via HPLC per industry-standard methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 1 kg. Smaller quantities (100-500g) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific purity, packaging, cold chain requirements) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement, stability data. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
