BulkSupplements review
Ingredient pricing, badge proof
NMN sold the way a raw material is sold, at a per-gram cost that reframes what the branded bottles are charging for.
Our verdict
BulkSupplements is not really a supplement brand. It is an ingredient wholesaler with a consumer checkout, and NMN is priced accordingly. Sixty capsules at 500 mg is thirty grams of the molecule for $17.97, around sixty cents a gram. The hundred-gram powder lands nearer twenty-eight cents. Set that against branded NMN sold at several dollars a gram and you learn something useful about the category. What you give up is proof: the testing claim is a badge in a picture, there is no certificate anywhere on the site, and the page reserves the right to change the serving size.

Care Bare Rx
Anyone who wants the price up front
Check Care Bare Rx availability →What it is
A single-ingredient NMN product sold as 60 gelatin capsules at 500 mg each, or as loose powder in 10, 25, 50 and 100 gram pouches — and, on the companion listing, in 10, 15 and 25 kilogram drums aimed at manufacturers. The capsule contains nothing but β-nicotinamide mononucleotide and a bovine gelatin shell; the powder contains nothing but the molecule.
How it works
Retail, and closer to wholesale in feel. No intake, no clinician, no subscription needed for the shelf price. There is no formulation to assess, because there is no formulation — which is exactly the appeal, and also why the quality question rests entirely on testing you are not shown.
Pricing transparency
$17.97 for 60 capsules of 500 mg, which is 30 grams of NMN and about sixty cents a gram. The powder is cheaper still: $27.97 for 100 grams works out near twenty-eight cents a gram, or roughly $0.14 for a 500 mg scoop, though you need a milligram scale to dose it. Note that the smallest powder pouch, 10 grams for $18.97, costs more than the capsule bottle that holds three times as much material — the per-gram cost falls steeply with size, so the headline entry price is the worst value on the listing.
Branded vs compounded
A dietary supplement, not FDA-approved and not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy before sale. Two things on this page deserve a careful reader. The first is that the milligram figure appears only inside the label image — the page's own "Supplemental Facts" text gives the serving size and the other ingredients but no amount, so a shopper who never opens the label photograph never sees the 500 mg. The second is a disclaimer we have not seen elsewhere in this category: the page states that serving sizes listed on the website are subject to occasional adjustment because of ingredient availability and supplier changes. Read straight, that means the number you compared on may not be the number in the bottle that arrives.
Pros and watch-outs
What we like
- About sixty cents per gram of NMN in capsules and near twenty-eight cents per gram in bulk powder
- Single ingredient with nothing but a capsule shell around it
- Powder sizes let you set your own dose rather than buying someone else's
- No subscription, coupon or promotional tier standing between you and the price
- A 30-gram capsule bottle lasts two months at 500 mg a day, one at 1,000 mg
Watch-outs
- The third-party testing claim is a badge inside a graphic, with no certificate and no lab named
- No certificate of analysis page exists on the site; the obvious paths return 404
- The milligram amount is printed only in the label image, not in the page text
- States that listed serving sizes are subject to change with supplier availability
- Dosing powder accurately needs a milligram scale most buyers will not own
Best for
A price-driven buyer who already knows what dose they want, is comfortable weighing powder or reading a label photograph, and treats quality claims as unproven until a report appears.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who needs a document behind the testing claim, anyone who wants a consistent serving size guaranteed in writing, and anyone who wants the page to help them decide how much to take.

Frequently asked
- How much does BulkSupplements NMN cost?
- $17.97 for 60 capsules of 500 mg each. The powder runs $18.97 for 10 grams, $20.97 for 25, $21.97 for 50 and $27.97 for 100. The capsule bottle contains 30 grams of NMN, so it is better value per gram than the three smallest powder pouches.
- Why is it so much cheaper than branded NMN?
- Because almost nothing is being sold except the material. There is no trademarked ingredient, no clinical program attached, no liposomal carrier and no marketing weight in the price. At about sixty cents a gram in capsules, the same 500 mg daily serving that costs several dollars a day elsewhere costs about thirty cents here. Whether that material is what it says it is comes down to testing, and the testing here is asserted rather than shown.
- Is it third-party tested?
- The page says so, in a badge inside a promotional image. We looked for the evidence behind it in September 2026 and found none: no certificate of analysis on the product page, no lot lookup, no named laboratory, and the obvious certificate paths on the site return 404. That is a materially weaker position than sellers who publish signed, lot-specific reports, and it is the trade you are making for the price.
- What does the serving-size disclaimer mean?
- The page states that serving sizes listed on the website may occasionally be adjusted because of ingredient availability and supplier changes. It is an honest thing to disclose and an awkward thing to read, because the serving size is the entire basis for comparing this product with any other. If you buy on the per-gram arithmetic, check the label on the bottle you receive rather than assuming it matches the listing.
- Should I buy the capsules or the powder?
- Capsules if you want a fixed 500 mg and no equipment. Powder if you want a different dose or the lowest possible cost, and own a scale that reads to the milligram — a kitchen scale will not do it, and eyeballing a scoop of a substance dosed in hundreds of milligrams is how people end up taking something other than what they intended.
- Is BulkSupplements expensive compared with other NAD⁺ precursor supplements providers?
- BulkSupplements publishes a starting figure of $17.97/mo. Across the 116 NAD⁺ precursor supplements providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $17.97 to $799 with a median of $175, which puts BulkSupplements below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 33 NAD⁺ precursor supplements providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
