DOES YOUR NMN SUPPLEMENT HAVE GMP ON THE BOTTLE? OURS DOES AND, HERE IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT.
Many supplements claim that their product is manufactured in a GMP facility but is it displayed on the bottle? If not, it is because the manufacturer will not allow the claim to be made if they are NOT a GMP facility. All Genex Formulas products are manufactured in a GMP certified facility and we proudly display this on our labeling. This is extremely important since GMP (which stands for 'Good Manufacturing Practices) are a set of best practices for dietary supplement manufacturing in the United States. Establish, maintained, and updated by the U.S. FDA, these regulations establish the baseline requirements for dietary supplement companies and manufacturers looking to produce dietary supplement products. Covering everything from labeling and packaging to ingredient sourcing and formulation - GMPs have been put in place for each step of the dietary supplement manufacturing process. Along with acting as a quality control and assurance measure, GMPs requirements help ensure that dietary supplement products consistently meet specifications for purity, strength, and composition. GMPs are overseen and enforced by a number of well-established and credentialed third party auditors, like NSF.
WHAT IS NMN?
NMN is an entirely natural compound found in our bodies. Various food sources also contain this compound in minuscule amounts. Edamame which has one of the higher contents, only show less than 1.9mg/100g. NMN is a direct and potent NAD+ supplement. Mice given an oral supplement of NMN showed increased liver NAD+ levels in just 10 minutes and showed an increase in muscle tissue by 30 minutes. Increased NAD+ levels stimulate energy DNA repair and SIRTUIN activity. SIRTUINS are the longevity-genes shown to be active during caloric restriction and life-extension in many animal models.
THE SCIENCE
Scientists have now confirmed a direct link between falling NAD+ levels and
aging in
both animals and human subjects. A breakthrough study published by Harvard
scientists in
2013 showed for the first time that some aspects of aging might be reversible.
After
treating old mice with NMN, several biometric markers that were subsequently
measured
resembled those of young mice: "the human equivalent of a 60-year old with
markers
resembling that of a 20-year old". The research and understanding into NAD+
metabolomics
are ongoing, but what the science has highlighted thus far, is the importance of
supporting and maintaining our NAD+ levels.A long-term evaluation of oral
supplementation of NMN in mice was found to be effective at improving NAD+
levels
safely. Mice supplemented with NMN vs. a control group showed notable
age-associated
differences in mass, energy, blood sugar, lipid, gene expression changes,
mitochondrial
oxygen use, eye function, bone density and immune function with no apparent
toxic
effects. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is
