Toward Future Beauty! The Key Lies in the Hot Ingredient “NMN”
The newly released “Meiji Amino Collagen NMN” combines long-trusted ingredients with the latest beauty science. Alongside foundational beauty nutrients such as collagen, glucosamine, amino acids, and vitamin C, this new formula introduces the next-generation ingredient NMN (β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), which has been drawing significant attention in recent years.
So, what exactly is NMN?
NMN is a substance that serves as a precursor to NAD⁺, a compound that naturally decreases with age. Since NAD⁺ exists in all cells of the body and plays a vital role in energy production, supplementing with NMN—which is only found in trace amounts in everyday food—provides a more efficient way to support anti-aging care.
Meiji carefully selects NMN raw material with over 99% purity. With just one serving, you can get 5,000 mg of fish collagen along with 250 mg of high-purity NMN, supporting not only outer beauty but also a holistic approach from within.
Furthermore, just like the previous generation, it adopts a tasteless powder type, so there is no unpleasant smell, and in the morning it can be mixed with matcha, milk, or yogurt, and in the afternoon with coffee or juice without spoiling the taste, making it easy to enjoy as part of your daily drinks.
With so many variations, how do you choose? If you’re new to collagen powder, the standard type “Amino Collagen” is recommended.
On the other hand, for those who have already been using Meiji’s collagen powder for many years, we would like you to experience the latest “Amino Collagen NMN.” You’ll experience a level of care unlike anything before.
Beware of Counterfeits! Check the Authenticity Mark on the Bottom Left
Many of you have probably thought, “I want this!” after reading so far. However, beware of online shops and resellers offering suspiciously cheap products—some may be counterfeits or parallel imports.
For this new Meiji Amino Collagen NMN, an authenticity mark has been added to the bottom left corner of the package. Be sure to check for this mark when purchasing. Look closely and you’ll find the word ‘Aminocollagen’—your guarantee that it’s the real deal.
Of course, the safest way is to buy directly from drugstores or mass retailers while traveling in Japan.
