Amazon—the vast global internet enterprise that single-handedly shuttered countless smaller retailers—is putting the interests of big pharma ahead of the health and well-being of its customers. In a move that surely pleases the FDA and pharmaceutical companies, Amazon decided last month to no longer sell nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a molecule naturally occurring in all life forms and vital in longevity. On the cutting edge of lifespan research, Amazon’s decision to remove NMN products is unrelated to safety issues. Instead, it hinges on a recent FDA decision announcing that because NMN is under investigation by big pharma as a potential new drug, it can no longer be marketed as a supplement. With the FDA’s corruption in full view thanks to COVID, this isn’t the first time the agency has allowed pharmaceutical giants to turn natural ingredients into profitable drugs while banning the affordable supplement version.
Like many health-related choices tainted by government bureaucracy, there is, of course, a somewhat convoluted and complicated backstory behind how this can happen. But to be brief, the FDA can remove a healthy natural product from store shelves because of the preclusion provision of Section 201 (ff) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This provision states that before a company can market any “new dietary ingredient” (NDI)—which means any ingredients that weren’t sold “in or as a supplement” before 1994—it must first submit a notification to the FDA with studies proving its safety. The guidance appears relatively straightforward, but not when, as is the case with NMN, the FDA deliberately blurs the lines.

Can I still buy NMN in the US?
As NMN dietary supplements are no longer sold in the US, NAD+ injections may become a good alternative. The FDA had previously accepted NMN as a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI), which allowed supplement manufacturers to market it.
The FDA essentially IS Phizer/Big Pharma......they own every Congressman and their people populate the Deep State (CDC, FDA, etc.)
I appreciate it, But OBVIOUSLY something is Brewing! Like everything else, STOCK UP I would say!!
If you’re trying to ping someone you need to put their handle in the “to:” line, as above, not in the body of the post.

I thank you for the pings on this, and it’s a concern, but I really try to keep the Take Charge Of Your Health ping list for things that are modifiable to make one’s health better, and the removal off Amazon will still leave some other outlets able to sell it.
However, the FDA is cracking down and may ban it everywhere, soon.
From the new Bing Chat:
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a promising molecule for therapy of diverse diseases by targeting NAD metabolism. The NAD+ production and consumption pathways including NMN are essential for more precise understanding and therapy of age-related pathological processes such as diabetes, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, and retinal degeneration.

Further:
Reperfusion injury, sometimes called ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) or reoxygenation injury, is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to tissue (re- + perfusion) after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen (anoxia or hypoxia). The term ischemia-reperfusion injury describes the experimentally and clinically prevalent finding that tissue ischemia with inadequate oxygen supply followed by successful reperfusion initiates a wide and complex array of inflammatory responses that may both aggravate local injury as well as induce.
Bkmk
Thanks for the link. It looks like Amazon still has it.
I’m a senior, so that sounds promising.
Dickie has always been a small pile of shit.
A truly wretched person.
The FDA is there to protect us from Health Freedom.
Like we are children, and they are our parent.
“Nicotinamide” is not the same thing as “nicotinamide mononucleotide”.
Here is a fairly clear description:
Here’s what Amazon just announced:
