Formulation Review Report | Project B NMN Renew+ 500
Product Studied: Project B NMN Renew+ 500
Introduction
We at Project B emphasize on being bare and transparent of our product ingredient and formulation. We have an extensive product development stage, carefully engineer every product to ensure they work. As a part of our groundwork, we reach out to a number of independent professionals for a blind test to compare the nutritional information and ingredients of our formula with the available brands in the market.
Under this review, we reached out to independent aesthetic doctor to compare the nutritional information and ingredients of skin cell renewal product from two other brands: California Gold Nutrition, LAC and Project B, to see if there was any way to improve it. This was a blind test, that California Gold Nutrition's, LAC's and Project B's names are never disclosed during the creation of the reviews. The aesthetic doctor was not paid or given anything to endorse any of these products.
This product has been studied and fine-tuned for over 52 months before the formulation is confirmed. We took another 6 months to test its efficacy profile on over 66 individuals before it is being delivered to you. This part of the report reviews the product formulation, where we have another part of the report displays the results of the efficacy profile.
Who are the formulators
We work closely with Dr Renee during the study and selection of effective youth driver and skin renewal profile ingredients. Dr Renee is celebrated for her innovative approach to enhancing natural beauty, she manages a chain of aesthetic clinics in the United States, committed to pursue advanced certifications in various aesthetic techniques.
Here, we took over 52 months to finalize the product formula, where ingredients are ensured at their optimum effective dose, complement with its product efficacy profile and portfolio.
Who have we approached
We wanted to carry out a fair review of our product, so we have invited Dr Chi Nguyen, an independent practicing aesthetic doctor. We believe Dr Chi has the capability in sounding a credible opinion in view of her profession and experience. We look forward to gaining some insights from the review generated.
What is Aesthetic Doctor
An aesthetic doctor, also known as a cosmetic physician, is a medical professional specializing in non-surgical cosmetic treatments aimed at enhancing physical appearance. These treatments include procedures such as Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser therapy, and other skin rejuvenation techniques. Aesthetic doctors combine medical knowledge with an artistic approach to provide personalized treatments that improve patients' skin health, reduce signs of aging, and enhance natural beauty. Their expertise allows them to safely perform these procedures, ensuring both effective results and patient safety.

The information we provided for review

It was a totally blind test. The aesthetic doctor was paid for her time producing the reviews, but not to endorse or favour any product. The reviews below aren't perfect, and we are the first to admit such. However, Dr Chi is expert in her field, highly respected, professional and have provided some great insights to highlight between the three products.

The results
The following review produced have not been edited or altered in any sense, it is the original piece that the independent aesthetic doctor has provided. This review is conducted based on 3 brands: LAC NMN (Product A), California Gold Nutrition NMN (Product B), Project B NMN Renew+ (Product C)
Aesthetic Doctor: Dr Chi Nguyen
Ingredient Profile
Product A
Ingredients: Yeast Extract (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) 450mg, Indigestible Dextrin, Orange Juice Powder, Monk Fruit Extract, Orange Flavor, Silicon Dioxide, Tricalcium Phosphate.
Findings: The primary active ingredient here is the yeast extract, which I believe is the source of NMN. The inclusion of indigestible dextrin may support digestive health, while monk fruit extract provides a natural sweetener without added sugars. However, the remaining ingredients (flavorings, silicon dioxide, and tricalcium phosphate) are primarily for taste and stability, not adding significant health benefits.
Product B:
Ingredients: β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (β-NMN) 175mg.
Findings:This product focuses solely on β-NMN, a precursor to NAD+, which is crucial for cellular energy and metabolism. Its potential anti-aging and longevity benefits are well-documented in scientific literature. The absence of additional ingredients ensures high concentration and purity of β-NMN but limits the spectrum of benefits to this single compound.
Product C:
Ingredients: Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) 500mg, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), Lycopene, Curcumin, Anthocyanins, Cinnamon Extract.
Findings:Product C offers a comprehensive blend of potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. NMN supports cellular health and longevity. Coenzyme Q10 is essential for energy production and further support skin health. Alpha Lipoic Acid, EGCG, lycopene, curcumin, anthocyanins, and cinnamon extract provide a robust spectrum of health benefits, including improved skin celluar vitality, potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects, and enhanced metabolic function.
Supply Size and Pricing
Product A:
Supply Size: 30s
Pricing: RM1,669.90.
Cost per Serving: RM55.66.
Findings: This is a premium-priced product with a relatively simple ingredient profile. The high cost may not be justified given the modest range of active ingredients.
Product B:
Supply Size: 60s
Pricing: RM285.
Cost per Serving: RM4.75.
Findings: This product offers excellent value for a high-purity NMN supplement. It is significantly more affordable per capsule compared to Product A, with a focused approach on cellular health and longevity.
Product C:
Supply Size: 30s
Pricing: RM385.
Cost per Serving: RM12.83.
Findings: While more expensive per serving than Product B, Product C provides a diverse array of powerful ingredients, making it a well-rounded supplement. The pricing seems reasonable given the comprehensive formulation.
Conclusion and Ranking
Rank 1: Product C
Reason: Product C stands out due to its extensive ingredient profile, offering a wide range of health benefits from cellular health to anti-inflammatory properties. The cost per serving is justified by the high-quality and diverse ingredients, making it the best overall value for comprehensive health support.
Rank 2: Product B
Reason: Product B excels in providing a high concentration of a single, potent ingredient (β-NMN) at an affordable price. It is ideal for individuals focused specifically on anti-aging and cellular energy enhancement. Its simplicity and cost-effectiveness earn it the second spot.
Rank 3: Product A
Reason: Product A’s high price and limited range of active ingredients make it less competitive. The cost per serving is significantly higher than the other products, without offering a proportionate increase in health benefits.
In summary, while all three products have their merits, Product C’s comprehensive formulation and balanced pricing make it the standout choice. Product B offers excellent value for targeted cellular health, and Product A, despite its benefits, falls short in terms of cost-effectiveness and ingredient diversity.
Author's Note: We had no contact with Dr Chi before the test was conducted, and she had never heard of Project B until after the results were gathered. These results were entirely independent and blind on her behalf.
