Quality Assurance & Storage Guidelines
- Refrigerate Bulk NMN Powder (): Crystalline -NMN degrades into Nicotinamide (NAM) if exposed to warmth () and humidity. Store MoleQlar / Hansen NMN jars in the refrigerator with the silica gel desiccant packet inside.
- Always Verify GBA / Eurofins Batch COAs: Both MoleQlar and Purovitalis publish downloadable German/EU laboratory PDF certificates right on the product page showing exact HPLC assay (
99.6%–99.9%) and heavy metal levels (Pb < 0.05 ppm).
