NMN vs NR: What's the Difference?

What The Research Shows
The Verdict
OMRE NMN + Resveratrol
OMRE NR & Resveratrol
What Makes OMRE Different?
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.
- Dr. Pedram Kordrostami M.D.
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.
SHOP NMN + RESVERATROL
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.

What Can You Expect?
What Makes OMRE Different?
At OMRE, quality is non-negotiable.
We use the highest quality ingredients available on the market.
We test the raw NMN powder and then test it again after the product is encapsulated. Every batch is tested twice.
The finished product also undergoes testing for heavy metals, fungi, and bacterial contamination.
All supplements are manufactured in the USA in a GMP-certified facility.
Why go to these 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. — Dr. Pedram Kordrostami M.D.
