(NOTE: There is an ongoing debate about whether 5-Amino 1MQ should be classified as a small molecule or a peptide, but thats a discussion far beyond the scope of this article) It was discovered in 2017 by researchers at the University of Texas who were attempting to discover small, selective, and membrane-permeable inhibitors of an enzyme called nicotinamide N -methyltransferase (NNMT)
Researchers have described this as the compounds key differentiating feature in systematic reviews of the preclinical literature
Differences in peptide purity, identity, or manufacturing consistency can affect experimental reproducibility
Other companies view NAD+ as just an add on and dont necessarily try and compete on price and bring new customers in through NAD+
