Both NMN and NR work to raise NAD+ levels in the body. Studies show they are both effective. Some people think NMN might be a little better, but in my opinion, the difference is probably very small. Either one is a good choice.
NMN vs NR: What's the Difference?
NMN and NR are both nutrients that your body can turn into NAD+. The only real difference is how many steps it takes:
NR has to turn into NMN first, before it becomes NAD+.
NMN is already closer to NAD+, so your body may use it a little more directly.
What Some Experts Believe
Some experts say NMN could be better because it's closer to NAD+ and might take less effort for your cells to use. The idea is simple: in biology, the easiest path usually works best. But that's just theory — and so far, we don't have proof that NMN actually outperforms NR in people.
What the Research Shows
Studies on NMN
A 2022 study in Cell Reports found that taking 300 mg of NMN daily for 6 weeks raised NAD+ levels in healthy adults by about 38%.
Another clinical trial in postmenopausal women showed that 250 mg of NMN per day for 12 weeks significantly increased blood NAD+ and improved muscle insulin sensitivity.
In general, people taking NMN in studies see NAD+ rise within a few weeks.
Studies on NR
A 2016 study published in Nature Communications showed that NR at 100–300 mg per day increased NAD+ in humans in a clear dose-dependent way — the more they took, the more NAD+ went up.
Another study in 2020 found that NR supplementation doubled NAD+ levels in middle-aged and older adults after just 6 weeks.
NR has now been tested in multiple human trials, all showing reliable boosts in NAD+.
There are still no head-to-head studies directly comparing NMN and NR in the same trial. Until that research is done, we can't say for sure if one is stronger than the other. - Dr. Pedram Kordrostami M.D.
The Verdict
Both NMN and NR are proven ways to boost NAD+. You won't go wrong choosing either. That's why at OMRE, we offer both formulas — each designed to give you a complete, all-round NAD+ boost:
OMRE NMN + Resveratrol
- 500mg of ultra-pure NMN, with independent batch testing showing 99.4%–99.7% purity.
- 500mg of micronized Resveratrol, a plant-based antioxidant found in grapes and the active compound in red wine. Resveratrol activates SIRT1, a longevity protein that further stimulates NAD+ production.
Together, this combination doesn't just supply the best precursor — it also encourages your cells to make more NAD+ naturally.
OMRE NR + Resveratrol
- 500mg of premium-quality NR, shown in multiple human studies to reliably boost NAD+ in a dose-dependent way.
- 500mg of micronized Resveratrol for added synergy with NAD+ and support for healthy aging.
At the end of the day, both are excellent choices. It really comes down to personal preference — whether you want NMN or NR, OMRE has you covered with the highest quality, third-party tested supplements available. We, however, prefer NMN.
What Makes OMRE Different?
At OMRE, quality is non-negotiable:
- Every batch of NMN is tested twice — once in raw form and again after encapsulation.
- Independent labs confirm purity (99.4%–99.7%) and screen for heavy metals, fungi, and bacterial contamination.
- Manufacturing takes place in the USA in a GMP-certified facility with strict quality controls.
Why go to such lengths?
Because I take these supplements myself. My family and friends take them too. And if I wouldn't put it in my own body, I wouldn't offer it to my customers.
