You have probably already heard something about Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) in a podcast or maybe a colleague recommended it to you.
NMN increases NAD+ levels and is said to slow down cellular aging.

Scientists and biohackers worldwide swear by the effects of NMN – and the demand for high-quality products is growing rapidly.

But where can you buy genuine NMN in Germany and what should you look out for to avoid counterfeits or inferior products?

In this article, you will learn everything you need to know to safely buy NMN in Germany.

Why should you use NMN?

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a precursor of NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) – a vital coenzyme found in every cell of your body.

NAD+ plays a central role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular regeneration. But as we age, our NAD+ levels decrease significantly.

When taking NMN, NAD+ levels can increase again. This can potentially have the following benefits:

• Support of cellular metabolism & anti-aging

  • Increases NAD+ levels and supports energy production in cells

  • Can reduce age-related fatigue and promote cell health

  • Could influence age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s & heart problems

• Cardiovascular health

  • Can improve blood flow and counteract vascular aging

  • Supports the formation of new blood vessels through NAD+ precursors

  • Research shows potential protective effects for heart & circulation

• Possible improvement of insulin sensitivity

  • Could regulate sugar metabolism and promote insulin production

  • Studies suggest positive effects for type 2 diabetes

  • Promotes glucose uptake and fat metabolism in tissues

How can I recognize genuine NMN?

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is one of the most counterfeited molecules worldwide.

A US study from 2021 tested 22 different providers. The result: More than half offered no genuine or only inferior NMN.

This is how you recognize genuine NMN:

• You can have NMN tested yourself in a laboratory (Cost: 150–300 €)

• Reputable providers publish current laboratory test reports on their website

• At Youngle, we work with the Arotop Laboratories in Mainz, which regularly confirm a purity of over 99%

• If analysis certificates are missing on a website, that is a warning sign

• Many prefer NMN with a fluffy consistency – but finer powder can also have the highest quality

• With trusted manufacturers, you can request documents or analysis certificates at any time

Where can I buy NMN in Germany?

In Germany, there are various ways to buy NMN – online and locally. Here are the main options:

1. Pharmacies

   • Some pharmacies carry NMN products

   • Often imported goods or only available on order

   • Selection is often limited, prices comparatively high

2. International providers

   • Large platforms like Amazon offer a wide product range

   • However, large quality differences

   • More difficult to determine where the NMN was produced and how pure it is

3. Specialized online shops

   • Shops that focus on high-quality NMN products

   • Tested quality & expertise

   • At Youngle, all products undergo strict quality controls

   • Our NMN powder has a purity level of over 99%

   • As a German company, we ship quickly within Germany

What is the current legal status of NMN?

Currently, NMN is considered in the EU as a "novel food (Novel Food)". This includes all foods that were not consumed to a significant extent before May 1997.

This means:

• The sale of NMN as a dietary supplement is strictly speaking not permitted in Germany

• However, NMN may be sold as a raw material – e.g., for laboratory purposes or for cosmetic use

Important developments:

• In 2024, the Chinese manufacturer SyncoZymes submitted an application for Novel Food approval for NMN to the EU

• There is no official result on this yet

• Another NAD+ precursor, NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), is already officially approved

Conclusion: Buying NMN in Germany

NMN is considered worldwide by scientists as promising for healthy cellular aging.

Even though the current legal situation in Germany still involves certain restrictions, interest in high-quality products is steadily growing.
