The tissue under your tongue is thin and highly vascularised — compounds dissolved there enter your bloodstream without passing through your stomach, intestinal wall, or liver first. This is called bypassing first-pass metabolism, and it's the same principle used in sublingual medications.

Does this mean capsules don't work? No — our NMN capsules have excellent reviews. But sublingual delivery offers a potentially faster, more direct route. For many people, the real advantage is the combination of absorption and price.

Neutral to mildly tart. Most reviewers describe it as unremarkable — which is exactly what you want from something you hold under your tongue for 30–60 seconds. It's not unpleasant. A few customers say they barely notice it.

Because you're not paying for capsule shells, encapsulation equipment, flow agents, or bottling. The powder is the raw active ingredient — β-NMN and nothing else. No manufacturing overhead beyond milling and packaging.

That's why the 15g pouch (30 servings) costs $36.00, while 30 NMN capsules cost $48.00 for the same amount of NMN. Same molecule, same purity. The price difference is purely packaging.

Each pouch includes a calibrated scoop that measures one 500mg serving. Level the scoop for a standard dose. For a lower starting dose (250mg), use half a scoop. For a higher dose, use two scoops.

The powder is finely milled and flows consistently, so measuring is straightforward. Some customers use a small digital scale for extra precision, but the included scoop is sufficient for most people.

The label lists both 500mg (one scoop) and 1,000mg (two scoops) as options. Most people start with 500mg daily — that's the dose most commonly used in published human studies and what we recommend as a baseline.

If you want to increase to 1,000mg after a few weeks, you can. At 500mg/day, this 15g pouch gives you 30 servings (one month). At 1,000mg/day, it lasts 15 days.

Both work. Some people prefer an empty stomach for potentially faster absorption. Others find it more convenient with breakfast.

The sublingual route means the NMN is absorbed through your mouth tissue before it reaches your stomach, so food in your stomach is less of a factor than with capsules. Pick what fits your routine and stick with it — consistency matters more than timing.

You can, but you lose the sublingual advantage. Mixing it into a drink means it goes through your digestive system like a capsule would — which is fine, but then you're paying for powder format without getting the absorption benefit.

If you're going to mix it, sublingual powder still works, but capsules might be more convenient. We'd recommend trying the sublingual method first.

The scoop is inside — it sometimes settles below the powder during shipping. Use a clean utensil to gently dig around near the bottom of the pouch. It's small and white.

If it's genuinely missing, contact us and we'll send a replacement immediately.

Keep the pouch sealed (use the zip-lock) in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 30°C. No refrigeration needed, but a kitchen cupboard away from the stove is ideal.

The resealable pouch protects against moisture and air — just make sure the seal is fully closed after each use.
