Natural Compound

Beta-Nicotinamide-Mononucleotide

A direct precursor the body uses to make NAD+, the coenzyme central to cellular energy. Studied widely in longevity research.

Key Function

Precursor to NAD+, cellular energy, DNA repair.

What it's used for

Cellular energy, healthy ageing, cognitive and metabolic support.

Key Benefits

A direct precursor the body uses to make NAD+, the coenzyme central to cellular energy. Studied widely in longevity research.

Science Behind It

NMN is a naturally occurring nucleotide that serves as a direct precursor to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell, central to metabolic processes including energy production, cellular repair pathways, and the activity of sirtuins (proteins studied in the context of ageing). NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and NMN is studied as a way to support the body's own NAD+ production.

Magnesium Stearate

Improves manufacturing efficiency, ensures consistent tablet/capsule fill, generally recognized as safe.

Key Function

Lubricant, anti-adherent.

What it's used for

Pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturing aid to prevent ingredients from sticking

Key Benefits

Improves manufacturing efficiency, ensures consistent tablet/capsule fill, generally recognized as safe.

Science Behind It

Magnesium stearate is a salt formed from magnesium and stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid.

Silicon Dioxide

Prevents ingredients from sticking together, improves manufacturing efficiency, generally regarded as safe.

Key Function

Anti-caking agent, flow agent.

What it's used for

Food and supplement additive to prevent clumping and improve powder flow.

Key Benefits

Prevents ingredients from sticking together, improves manufacturing efficiency, generally regarded as safe.

Science Behind It

Silicon dioxide (silica) is a compound of silicon and oxygen. In powdered supplements, it's used as an anti-caking agent due to its high surface area and ability to absorb moisture. This prevents powders from clumping, ensuring that ingredients can be uniformly mixed and accurately dosed, and that powders flow smoothly during manufacturing. It is largely inert and passes through the digestive system unabsorbed.

Organic Brown Rice Powder

Natural and organic alternative to synthetic fillers, source of complex carbohydrates (in larger amounts), provides some fiber.

Key Function

Bulking agent, filler.

What it's used for

Primarily as an excipient in organic supplements, providing a natural and hypoallergenic filler.

Key Benefits

Natural and organic alternative to synthetic fillers, source of complex carbohydrates (in larger amounts), provides some fiber.

Science Behind It

Organic brown rice powder is simply ground brown rice. It's used as a natural, hypoallergenic, and organic filler or bulking agent in supplements. While brown rice itself is nutritious (containing complex carbohydrates, fiber, and some B vitamins and minerals), the amount used in supplements as a filler is usually too small to provide significant nutritional benefits.

Capsule Shell

Protects ingredients from degradation, masks taste/odor, convenient dosage form, allows for specific release profiles.

Key Function

Enclosure for active ingredients, protects contents.

What it's used for

To encapsulate powdered or liquid supplements for oral administration.

Key Benefits

Protects ingredients from degradation, masks taste/odor, convenient dosage form, allows for specific release profiles.

Science Behind It

Capsule shells are typically made from gelatin (animal-derived protein) or hypromellose (HPMC, plant-derived cellulose polymer). They dissolve in the digestive tract, releasing the active ingredients. They protect the encapsulated ingredients from environmental factors like moisture and oxygen, and also mask unpleasant tastes or odors.

NMN — nicotinamide mononucleotide — is one of the most-studied molecules in cellular biology. It is a direct precursor to NAD+, a coenzyme found in every living cell. thecary's NMN delivers 500mg of high-purity β-NMN per capsule: the form and the dose used in most human research.

What NMN and NAD+ are
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell, involved in hundreds of fundamental processes — among them cellular metabolism and the ongoing maintenance and repair of DNA. The body cannot absorb NAD+ directly in meaningful amounts, so it builds NAD+ from smaller precursor molecules, NMN among them. NMN sits one step away from NAD+ in that pathway.

Why 500mg?
500mg per capsule is the dose used in most published human studies of NMN. Many lower-cost products provide 125–250mg, requiring several capsules to reach the same amount. Our single daily capsule is designed for a straightforward, consistent routine.

Purity and testing
NMN is a premium ingredient, and the market is uneven — purity varies widely between suppliers. Ours is pharmaceutical-grade β-NMN, the biologically relevant form. One in every twenty capsules is opened and tested, so the label and the contents agree. Bottled in Miron violet glass, which filters visible light to protect what is inside, and made in the UK in an FSSC 22000 certified facility.

How to take it
One capsule daily, with or without food. Most people take it in the morning as part of a routine. Consistency over time matters more than the timing of any single dose. NMN is often taken alongside a B-complex or polyphenols such as resveratrol, though it can equally be taken on its own.

Vegan, GMO-free, and made in the UK. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Not intended for anyone under 18, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are taking medication or under medical supervision, consult your doctor before use. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

FAQ

What is NMN?

NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a molecule found naturally in the body and in trace amounts in some foods. It is a direct precursor to NAD+, a coenzyme present in every cell. In supplement form it is taken as a capsule; ours provides 500mg of pharmaceutical-grade β-NMN.

How does NMN work?

In the body's biochemistry, NMN sits one step away from NAD+: cells take up NMN and convert it along the NAD+ pathway, and NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in many cellular processes.

What's the difference between NMN and NR?

Both NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (nicotinamide riboside) are precursors the body can use in the NAD+ pathway. NR is one step further back; NMN sits one step closer to NAD+. They are related molecules studied for the same reason, and the preference between them tends to come down to individual choice and cost.

Is NMN safe to take every day?

NMN is designed for daily use, one capsule a day, and human studies have used daily doses at and above this level. As with any supplement, do not exceed the recommended dose. It is not intended for anyone under 18, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you take medication or are under medical supervision you should speak to your doctor first.

When is the best time to take NMN?

Most people take it in the morning, with or without food. There is no strict rule — consistency from day to day matters more than the exact time.

How long does it take to feel the effects of NMN?

NMN is taken as a long-term daily supplement, so it is best used consistently as part of a routine rather than for an immediate effect.

Is thecary's NMN vegan?

Yes. Our NMN is vegan and free from GMO, with no fillers, in a plant-based capsule, made in the UK in an FSSC 22000 certified facility.

Should I take NMN with Resveratrol?

NMN is often taken alongside resveratrol or other polyphenols, and the two are commonly paired in the research literature. Whether to combine them is a personal choice — NMN can equally be taken on its own. If you take medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Can I take NMN with other thecary supplements?

Yes. NMN is commonly taken alongside a B-complex, and it sits naturally within a daily routine that might include our Magnesium Complex or Marine Collagen. If you take prescription medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining supplements.
