The Problem with Standard NMN
Most NAD+ precursors never reach your cells intact.
When you swallow NAD+ precursors like NMN and NR in standard capsules, they face a gauntlet of degradation:
- Stomach acid breaks down the molecules
- Gut bacteria convert them to other compounds
- Intestinal enzymes metabolise them extensively
- First-pass liver metabolism transforms what remains
Recent research shows that when taken orally, NAD+ precursors are almost entirely converted to nicotinamide (NAM) in the stomach, intestines, and liver. Studies using isotope tracing reveal that only a small portion is directly absorbed from the small intestine, whilst most undergoes gut microbiota-mediated conversion to nicotinic acid.
The result: Standard oral capsules deliver far less intact NMN to your cells than protective delivery methods.
Our Solution: Delayed-Release Technology
Pharmaceutical-grade protection. Maximum absorption. Zero hassle.
Delayed-release (enteric-coated) capsules use advanced pharmaceutical technology to protect NMN through the stomach and release it exactly where your body absorbs it best—the small intestine.
Survives Stomach Acid
The enteric coating remains stable in acidic conditions (pH 1-3), protecting the NMN as it passes through your stomach completely intact.
Releases at the Right Place
The coating dissolves in the alkaline environment of the small intestine (pH 6-7), where NMN absorption naturally occurs.
Maximum Uptake
By releasing NMN directly at the absorption site, delayed-release capsules ensure your body receives the full dose.
Why Choose Delayed-Release?
The best of all worlds.
Protected from Acid
Pharmaceutical-grade coating shields NMN through the stomach
Reduced Degradation
Bypasses early gut bacterial metabolism
Consistent Dosing
You get the full dose you pay for
Completely Convenient
Just swallow with water—no special technique required
No Unpleasant Taste
No sublingual application or texture issues
Excellent Value
Higher effective dose per pound spent
What Research Shows
Clinical evidence supports NMN supplementation.
Human trials demonstrate that effective NMN delivery can:
- Increase blood NAD+ levels by 1.5-2.5× baseline
- Improve physical performance and walking distance
- Support cardiovascular health markers
- Enhance metabolic function
The catch? These benefits depend entirely on the NMN actually reaching your bloodstream—which is precisely what delayed-release technology ensures.
Who Benefits Most?
Delayed-release capsules are ideal if you:
- Want daily, convenient supplementation
- Prefer reliable, consistent results
- Don't want to deal with sublingual powders or sprays
- Value getting the full dose you're paying for
- Seek the best balance of effectiveness and convenience
- Want pharmaceutical-grade quality

Combinations
Pairs well with resveratrol, quercetin, or TMG
The Longevity Formulas Difference
We use pharmaceutical-grade delayed-release capsules because you deserve to actually receive the supplement you're paying for—not have it destroyed in your stomach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take NMN with other supplements?
Yes. NMN pairs well with resveratrol, quercetin, and TMG (trimethylglycine). These compounds work synergistically to support cellular health and NAD+ metabolism.
How long does it take to work?
Some people notice increased energy within days, but optimal benefits typically emerge after 2-4 weeks of consistent use as NAD+ levels stabilize.
Is delayed-release better than liposomal?
Both offer excellent protection from digestive degradation. Delayed-release provides better value and convenience, whilst liposomal may offer slightly higher absorption at significantly higher cost.
Why not just take a higher dose of standard NMN?
Because the degradation issue doesn't scale linearly. Taking 3× the dose doesn't mean 3× the absorption—much is still lost to stomach acid and gut bacteria. Protective delivery is far more efficient.
