NMN or NR product: US status and quality record

Write down exactly which NMN or NR product you take, check its label and paperwork against FDA's current position, and keep a record of the questions you asked the seller and your clinician. The status facts come from FDA's own 2016 to 2025 letters and inventory.

Where the US record stands

  • Since September 29, 2025, FDA's position is that NMN is not excluded from the dietary supplement definition.[1]
  • On December 2, 2025, FDA set aside its October 11 and November 4, 2022 letters that had excluded NMN.[1]
  • FDA acknowledging a new dietary ingredient notification is a procedural step, not a finding that the ingredient is safe.[1]
  • A new dietary ingredient needs a notification to FDA at least 75 days before the product is sold.[2]
  • FDA had no questions about GRAS notice 635 for nicotinamide riboside chloride (closed Aug 3, 2016), covering foods such as vitamin waters at up to 0.0057% by weight.[3]
