NMN is 31% heavier than NR. So NMN needs to be 31% cheaper than NR.
These experiments used equal weights of NMN and NR - 50 mg/kg.
These equal weights had roughly the same effect at elevating NAD+, except in muscle.
Clearly, your fantasy about NR being 6400x more effective at increasing NAD+ did not apply here.
Any ideas why Revgentics sells a bottle of 50mg of NMN for $38, whereas Alive By Nature sells 125 mg for $45 according to able but Amazon sells it for $86, K-to Go 125 mg for $40 and Gene 125 mg for $40?
If NMN turns out to be as effective as NR then Chromodex's patents won't matter, which should push the prices of both NR and NMN over time.
That $86 on amazon is for 2 bottles.
Revgenetics is still selling their inventory from last year. The new players have pushed the price way down.
