New Regulations for NMN Products on Amazon
Acting upon the recent FDA recommendation, the online retail giant Amazon has announced that the sale of products containing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) will be banned starting from March 13th, 2023 on its platform unless suppliers provide the required documentation.
In an email from the Amazon Restricted Products team to sellers, the company stated: “On November 4, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that NMN is no longer considered a dietary supplement. It is now considered a drug, or drug ingredient, that requires FDA approval.’’
It further stated, ‘‘Products that contain NMN as an ingredient can no longer be sold or distributed as a dietary supplement by manufacturers or retailers in the United States. If you want to sell NMN on Amazon, you must show that you are approved by the FDA for over-the-counter sales.”
The company gives 30 Days deadline to submit a removal order for impacted ASINs failing which the company may dispose of this unsellable inventory in accordance with the Service Terms and policies applicable to the concerned listings.
Amazon listed three supporting documents that suppliers will have to provide in order to reinstate their products:
About NMN
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide. Found in all life forms, NMN is a molecule commonly used in dietary supplements for its anti-aging potential. It is believed to increase the levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a compound that plays a crucial role in repairing and protecting DNA and promoting optimal mitochondrial health and cellular energy.
