Simply Nootropics vs AgeMate Australia 2026 Compared

Last updated: September 27, 2026 · Originally published: August 18, 2026 · By Eternal Elixir Editorial

Simply Nootropics vs AgeMate comes down to format. AgeMate sells one berry-flavoured scoop with 500 mg of NMN and 14 other actives, at $2.63 a serve on its single subscription. Simply Nootropics sells NMN on its own, as 250 mg capsules or an unflavoured powder, and tells people over 40 to take 1,000 mg a day. If NMN is the reason you are buying, our pick is Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg: 500 mg in one capsule, 90 capsules for $59.99, or $0.67 a day, sent from Sydney.

Simply Nootropics and AgeMate compared on September 2026 prices: what each brand sells, how much NMN each serve gives and what the trials used, the cost of 30 days at 500 mg and at 1,000 mg a day in AUD, where each product is made and shipped from, and who each option suits.

Key numbers:

• 500 mg of NMN per AgeMate scoop and per Eternal Elixir capsule. Simply Nootropics capsules hold 250 mg each, and its directions say 2 to 4 a day.
• $2.63 a serve for AgeMate’s single subscription, $2.30 per 500 mg for Simply Nootropics capsules bought once, and $0.67 for Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg.
• 15 actives in the AgeMate scoop, against one ingredient in each Simply Nootropics NMN product.
• 60 days to claim Simply Nootropics’ money-back guarantee, against 30 days at AgeMate and at Eternal Elixir.

Simply Nootropics vs AgeMate: the short answer

These are two different kinds of product that share one ingredient. AgeMate has a single product, the Daily Longevity Blend, a flavoured powder you stir into cold water each morning. Simply Nootropics has a range of single-purpose products: NMN as capsules or as powder, plus TMG, a nootropic blend and a sleep formula sold separately.

The useful question is whether you want a finished formula or the NMN on its own. The table puts the main options side by side. Prices as of Sep 2026, from each brand’s own page.

Eternal Elixir makes NMN 500mg and lists it first. On the cost of 500 mg of NMN from a single purchase, it is the lowest in the table. Competitor prices are the brands’ own and change often.

The AgeMate figure pays for more than NMN. Every scoop also carries glycine, theanine, vitamin C, B vitamins and a few minerals, so the per-serve price covers the whole formula. Our AgeMate price breakdown goes through every plan, and our comparison of AgeMate alternatives in Australia sets eight NMN options against it.

What each brand actually sells

AgeMate Daily Longevity Blend: one scoop, 15 actives

AgeMate’s label gives one level scoop of 3.325 g, 30 serves per container, and an amount beside every active:

• CellVive NMN 500 mg and glycine 1.1 g
• MSM 300 mg, vitamin C 250 mg and L-theanine 200 mg
• Choline bitartrate 55 mg, dimethylglycine 50 mg and vitamin B1 25 mg
• Zinc 4 mg (from 12 mg of zinc citrate), folate as levomefolate 300 mcg, vitamin K2 180 mcg, biotin 100 mcg, vitamin B12 50 mcg and vitamin D3 1,000 IU
• A magnesium line that shows 300 mg with an equivalence note of 46 mg

That magnesium line is easy to misread. Set out the same way as the zinc line above it, it means 300 mg of magnesium citrate, which supplies about 46 mg of elemental magnesium. Reading it as 300 mg of magnesium overstates it more than six times over. So the scoop is a small magnesium top-up, not a replacement for a magnesium supplement.

Natural flavours, beetroot and blue spirulina colour the drink, and thaumatin sweetens it. The directions are one scoop in 240 ml of cold water in the morning, daily for up to 12 weeks. The label says adults only, not for pregnant or lactating women, and that the powder contains phenylalanine and sulfites. Our line-by-line look at AgeMate’s ingredients covers each active, and our AgeMate side effects guide covers who should check with a doctor first.

Simply Nootropics: NMN on its own, plus add-ons

• NMN Capsules: 60 enteric-coated capsules of 250 mg, $69.00 once or $55.20 a month on subscription. The directions say 2 to 4 capsules a day (500 to 1,000 mg), so a bottle lasts 15 to 30 days.
• NMN Capsules Value Bundle: three bottles for $180.09, sold as a 3-month supply.
• NMN Powder: $139.00 once or $111.20 every 3 months on subscription, and both come with a free TMG Powder the brand values at $70. One scoop is 500 mg. The directions say two scoops (1,000 mg) a day, or one scoop for people under 40, and the brand says a tin lasts 3 months at two scoops. The page does not give the tin’s net weight or number of scoops.
• TMG B-Complex: $49.00 for 60 capsules. Two capsules give 1,000 mg of TMG with vitamin B1 100 mg, B2 25 mg, B6 as P5P 10 mg, folate as 5-MTHF 400 mcg and B12 as methylcobalamin 100 mcg.

The range also includes Essentials Plus, a nootropic blend, and Genius Sleep. Simply Nootropics says its NMN is made in New Zealand from imported ingredients, that raw ingredients are third-party tested by Eurofins, and that orders ship from its Auckland warehouse.

The brand also says its enteric coating improves NMN bioavailability by 30% compared with regular capsules. We searched PubMed and found no published human trial comparing enteric-coated NMN with standard capsules, so read the 30% as the company’s figure rather than a measured result. Our full Simply Nootropics review covers the rest of the range.

Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg: 500 mg in every capsule

Our NMN 500mg is the single-ingredient route with the fewest steps. Each capsule holds 500 mg of NMN, so one capsule is a full serve, with no scoop to level and no flavour to get used to. A bottle holds 90 capsules, three months at one a day, for $59.99. That is $0.67 a day, or $20.00 for 30 days.

Orders ship from Sydney within 24 hours, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and Afterpay. Shipping is free over $100, and two bottles with the 10% multi-bottle saving come to $107.98, so they ship free. Three bottles save 15% and five save 20%. The label serve is one capsule a day; if you want more than 500 mg, read the label and talk to your doctor first.

If you prefer the other NAD+ precursor, our Pure NR 500mg gives nicotinamide riboside in capsules. If you pair NMN with resveratrol, our Trans-Resveratrol 1200mg gives 1,200 mg per two-capsule serve.

How much NMN a day: 500 mg or 1,000 mg?

This is where the two brands disagree. AgeMate gives 500 mg in its only serve. Simply Nootropics tells people over 40 to take 1,000 mg. These are the human trials that bear on the question:

• 80 healthy middle-aged adults took a placebo or 300 mg, 600 mg or 900 mg of NMN once a day for 60 days (Yi and colleagues, GeroScience, 2023). Blood NAD rose in every NMN group compared with placebo, most in the 600 mg and 900 mg groups. Six-minute walking distance improved more than placebo in all three NMN groups. The authors judged that the effect on blood NAD and walking peaked at 600 mg, and found no safety issues up to 900 mg. Three authors worked for chemical companies, which the paper declares.
• 60 older adults took 250 mg of NMN or a placebo daily for 12 weeks (Morifuji and colleagues, GeroScience, 2024). The trial missed its main outcome, a stepping test. On secondary measures the NMN group walked 4 metres faster, had higher blood NAD+ and scored better on a sleep questionnaire, with no side effects linked to NMN. Three of the four authors worked for Meiji Holdings.
• 108 older Japanese adults took 250 mg of NMN or a placebo, in the morning or the afternoon, for 12 weeks (Kim and colleagues, Nutrients, 2022). Sit-to-stand times improved in every group, placebo included. The afternoon NMN group showed the largest effect on that test and on drowsiness.
• 65 healthy adults took 1,000 mg of NMN, 1,000 mg of nicotinamide riboside, 500 mg of nicotinamide or a placebo for 14 days in an open-label trial run by Nestlé researchers (Christen and colleagues, Nature Metabolism, 2026). NMN and NR raised blood NAD+ by a similar amount. Nicotinamide did not.
• A 2026 meta-analysis in Nutrients (Yang and colleagues) pooled 15 randomised trials that used 250 mg to 2,000 mg a day for 14 days to 24 weeks. NMN did not increase adverse events or liver enzymes, and it had no clear effect on body weight, blood glucose or blood lipids.

So where do the three products sit? Our one-capsule serve and AgeMate’s scoop both give 500 mg. That is double the 250 mg in the two Japanese trials, below the 600 mg the Yi authors judged most effective, and half the 1,000 mg in the Nestlé study. Simply Nootropics’ 1,000 mg advice sits above that 600 mg peak and inside the range the meta-analysis found well tolerated. Our label serve is one 500 mg capsule; if you want more, check the label and ask your doctor first. AgeMate’s directions give one scoop a day, so 1,000 mg is not an option there without doubling every other active as well.

What hasn’t been shown: none of these trials tested AgeMate, Simply Nootropics or our capsules, the longest ran for 24 weeks, and no human trial has shown that NMN extends lifespan. Our longevity supplement evidence index grades NMN against the other popular actives, and our breakdown of AgeMate’s NMN dose goes further into the 500 mg question.

Simply Nootropics vs AgeMate cost per serve in AUD

Brands quote prices per capsule, per scoop, per month or per 3 months, which makes them slippery to compare. This table converts each option to the cost of 30 days at 500 mg of NMN a day and at 1,000 mg a day. Prices as of Sep 2026, from each brand’s own Australian page.

*Simply Nootropics does not state how many scoops a tin holds. These figures take the brand at its word that a tin lasts 3 months at two scoops a day, and assume it lasts twice as long at one scoop.

Eternal Elixir makes NMN 500mg and lists it first. Read the powder rows with care, because they are the closest competition. On the brand’s own 3-month figure, Simply Nootropics’ powder on subscription is the cheapest option from either brand, and it costs less than a single bottle of our capsules at 500 mg. It also comes with a free TMG Powder. Our three-bottle price is lower again, at $17.00 for 30 days at 500 mg, with no scoop, no mixing and no subscription.

The AgeMate rows cover 14 other actives as well as the NMN. So the table shows what the NMN costs inside each product, not what the whole AgeMate formula is worth to you. If you would otherwise buy glycine, theanine and a B vitamin separately, the blend saves you some bottles. Our comparison of the best NMN supplements in Australia runs the same cost-per-serve maths across more brands.

Capsule, powder or flavoured scoop: what daily use is like

AgeMate is a drink. You level a scoop, stir it into 240 ml of cold water and drink it in the morning, with or without food. It tastes of berry, and the flavours, colours and sweetener are there to make it pleasant every day. If you avoid phenylalanine or sulfites, the label rules it out.

Simply Nootropics’ powder has no flavouring but, in the brand’s words, a slightly acidic taste like vitamin C. The brand asks you to keep the tin in the fridge once opened, and suggests mixing two scoops of NMN with two scoops of its TMG Powder in a glass of water, first thing on an empty stomach.

Capsules take the least effort. Simply Nootropics’ capsules need 2 to 4 a day, which it suggests taking on an empty stomach in the morning. Ours need one, preferably in the morning. If the thought of measuring powder every day is the reason a routine lapses, that difference matters more than a few cents a serve.

Where each one is made and how it reaches you

• Eternal Elixir: ships from Sydney within 24 hours. Free shipping over $100, a 30-day money-back guarantee and Afterpay.
• AgeMate: says it is made in Australia and ships every order from Sydney by Australia Post. Its page estimates 3 to 6 business days to NSW, Victoria and the ACT, and 5 to 10 to WA, the NT, Tasmania and north Queensland. Shipping costs $10 under $99 and is free over $100. You can send it back within 30 days for a full refund.
• Simply Nootropics: made in New Zealand from imported ingredients and shipped from New Zealand. Australian orders are redirected to its New Zealand store for processing. Shipping to Australia is free over A$40, with a flat A$10 below that. Its money-back guarantee runs 60 days, the longest of the three.

If you want an Australian-made drink, AgeMate fits, and our capsules ship from Sydney. Simply Nootropics prices in Australian dollars but makes and ships its NMN from New Zealand, so allow for a longer trip.

Adding TMG: how the two ranges compare

TMG (trimethylglycine, also called betaine) is a methyl donor often sold as an NMN companion. Simply Nootropics builds its powder around the pairing, with a free TMG Powder in every powder order and directions to mix the two. AgeMate’s scoop has glycine 1.1 g and dimethylglycine 50 mg but no TMG.

If you want TMG as its own product:

• Eternal Elixir TMG 2000mg: 90 capsules for $44.99. Three capsules with a meal give 2,000 mg of TMG, which is 30 serves at $1.50 each.
• Simply Nootropics TMG B-Complex: 60 capsules for $49.00. Two capsules give 1,000 mg of TMG plus B vitamins, which is 30 serves at $1.63 each.

Ours gives twice the TMG per serve for less. Simply Nootropics’ version adds activated B vitamins, which suits someone who wants both in one capsule. The NMN trials above gave NMN on its own, so their results do not tell you what adding TMG does.

Who each option suits, and who it doesn’t

Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg (our pick)

Suits: people who want the NMN itself, in one capsule, at the lowest cost per 500 mg of any one-off purchase in this comparison, sent from Sydney.

Doesn’t suit: people who want vitamins, glycine and theanine in the same serve, or who would rather drink their supplements than swallow capsules. It is also a plain NMN product, so it does not come with a TMG gift the way Simply Nootropics’ powder does.

AgeMate Daily Longevity Blend

Suits: people who want one Australian-made morning drink with every active quantified and no stack to plan.

Doesn’t suit: anyone avoiding phenylalanine or sulfites, anyone who wants more than 500 mg of NMN, or anyone who wants to change one ingredient without changing the rest. The label also sets daily use at up to 12 weeks unless a health professional advises otherwise. Read our roundup of AgeMate reviews, our Tmrw vs AgeMate comparison and our note on where AgeMate is sold in Australia.

Simply Nootropics

Suits: people who want NMN alone at 1,000 mg a day and like a powder-plus-TMG routine, or who value a 60-day guarantee.

Doesn’t suit: people who want local dispatch, or who want 500 mg in a single capsule, since its capsules hold 250 mg.

If you like AgeMate’s idea of several longevity actives in one routine but prefer capsules, our Cellular Longevity Stack puts NMN, Spermidine and Trans-Pterostilbene in one order. For how stacks like this are put together, see our longevity supplement stack guide. For the NMN-plus-resveratrol approach, see our NMN and resveratrol combo comparison.

Simply Nootropics vs AgeMate: frequently asked questions

Is Simply Nootropics or AgeMate better?

Neither is better across the board. For NMN on its own, our pick is Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg: 500 mg per capsule at $0.67 a day, dispatched from Sydney. Between the two brands, AgeMate is better if you want one drink with 14 other actives, made in Australia. Simply Nootropics is better if you want NMN alone at 1,000 mg a day at its powder subscription price, and don’t mind delivery from New Zealand.

What is better than AgeMate?

It depends on what you want AgeMate for. If it is the NMN, a single-ingredient capsule gives the same 500 mg for much less: Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg costs $0.67 a day against $2.63 on AgeMate’s single subscription. If it is the convenience of one scoop with vitamins and amino acids, AgeMate already does that job. Our guide to AgeMate alternatives compares eight NMN options on dose and cost.

Is Simply Nootropics legit, and is it Australian?

Simply Nootropics is a trading brand that publishes the amount per capsule or scoop, and its NMN capsule page showed a 4.8 average from 3,523 on-site reviews when we checked on 26 September 2026. It sells in Australian dollars, but it makes its NMN in New Zealand from imported ingredients, ships from Auckland, and processes Australian orders through its New Zealand store. It says raw ingredients are third-party tested by Eurofins. As with any brand, check the milligrams on the exact product you buy.

How much NMN should I take a day?

Human trials have used 250 mg to 2,000 mg a day for 14 days to 24 weeks, and a 2026 meta-analysis found no increase in adverse events across that range. In the Yi dose-comparison trial, the effect on blood NAD and walking distance peaked at 600 mg. AgeMate gives 500 mg, Simply Nootropics suggests 1,000 mg for people over 40, and one Eternal Elixir capsule gives 500 mg, which is our label serve. Talk to your doctor before starting if you take prescription medicines or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What are the best nootropic supplements in Australia?

For nootropics in the focus and memory sense, our pick is Eternal Elixir Magnesium L-Threonate 2000mg, and our guide to the best nootropic supplements in Australia compares seven options on dose and cost. NMN sits in a different group: it is studied for NAD+ levels rather than short-term focus. Simply Nootropics’ own nootropic blend is Essentials Plus, and AgeMate’s scoop includes 200 mg of L-theanine.

What is the most reputable supplement brand in Australia?

No brand can claim that on evidence, so judge reputation on things you can check: an amount for every active, a clear guarantee, where the product ships from, and whether the claims match the research. Eternal Elixir, which runs this site, puts 500 mg of NMN in every capsule, ships from Sydney within 24 hours and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. AgeMate quantifies all 15 of its actives and ships from Sydney. Simply Nootropics publishes its amounts and offers 60 days to return. Our evidence index shows how we grade the research behind each active.

The bottom line

Simply Nootropics vs AgeMate is a choice between NMN on its own from New Zealand and a finished Australian-made drink with 14 other actives. If the NMN is the part you care about, one Eternal Elixir NMN 500mg capsule gives the same 500 mg as an AgeMate scoop for $0.67 a day, and ships from Sydney within 24 hours. One capsule is the full label serve; if you want more than 500 mg a day, check the label and talk to your doctor first. You can also browse the full Eternal Elixir range.
