I have taken NR for four years, and upped my dose to 900 mg about two years ago. I am 72 and feel about 45. I haven't been sick from anything, and my skin is now smooth rather than rough as it has been on my elbows and knees.

[@krist6074]

That’s amazing!! I’m a big believer in this stuff. I just received my first NMN today. I’m 30 now, and already have less hair on my head than I did 4 yea ago. I hope I get to live as old as you and then some! God bless!

Hi where do you buy your nmn from ?

[@StancyInTheCity]

NMN really shows drastic results in people who are either chronically ill or over 60. My 83-year-old mother started taking it November 20, 2022 at a dose 500 mg per day. At that time, she weighed 85 pounds and couldn’t walk without a cane. Had to hold onto to furniture to walk around the house had no appetite. Flash forward to today she’s gained 10 pounds. She’s now 95 pounds and does not require a cane, does not have to hold onto furniture when she walks around the house and she can taste her food again, she didn’t realize that she had lost her sense of taste. That’s probably why she had become so frail. For myself, I’m 59 years old have been taking it over the same period of time and have noticed weight loss, increase muscle tone, better sleep, sharper, focus, and cognition (my dose has been 1500 mg daily) I also added fisetin once per week 500 mg. And TMG

I also started taking NR about the same time that you did. I had a massive boost in energy that lasted for a few weeks, then faded away. Since then, I've switched back and forth between NR and NMN, but I've not experienced that initial surge again. Recently, I started watching Dr. Brad Stanfield's channel. He did some research on different NMN brands, and found that a lot of them when tested actually had no NMN in them! Life is complicated, and it's hard to figure out what is really having an effect, but I think that I've had a better experience with NR than with NMN, but that could entirely be because my NR is from TRU Niagen (from the guy that initially found NR), and that the NMN brands that I've been taking all pretty much are crap. So that says little about the actual relative effectiveness of NR vs NMN. (Though it say a lot about the supplement business). Part of what makes evaluation so difficult is that when I get more energy, I tend to spend it all exercising. Which makes me more tired the next day. But I feel that when I'm exercising, and coming into it rested, that the NR does still help. I think another part of being human that makes evaluation more difficult is the way that we reset our expectations to the new normal. Sure, I might have more energy now, but I'm exercising harder, and overall feel the same. In any case, right now I'm taking niacin, NR, resveratrol, and TMG.

[@LifeDIY]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I can totally relate. Maybe your levels of NAD+ are increasing and you don't notice the surge of energy, but overall your body is doing better, working better, and you are exercising more. Sometimes it is hard to tell or even notice that you are still having an increase in energy from a supplement. But, once that energy level dips, then you notice. It is so difficult to figure out. :) I've heard that over-exercising isn't good either. I did that years and years ago and burnt myself out severely. I guess it's good to push yourself, but not over the top. Maybe it would help to lessen that a bit. Just a thought anyway. Also, I saw Dr. Brad's video as well. I like the Alive By Science products - really innovative, though I am biased. They have sublingual, liposomal and transdermal - ways to enhance the bioavailability of the ingredients into your bloodstream. :)

[@carolallison9685]

So nmn is what is in the mitochondria that turns into nad. But heres the thing, nmn cant get into the mitochondria. It has to convert back into nr, go into the mitochondria, then convert back into nmn before converting into nad. So basically, if youre taking nr, your skipping a step in the chain of events. The nr can go into the mitochondria without converting into anything, and therefore is absorbed a little easier. That probably explains why nr works better for you.

Can I just say that your NAD levels at your age is still pretty high - it decreases rapidly with age. I started taking NMN, TMG and other anti ageing supplements I can afford. 4 years ago The company I use is a British company called DoNotAge it only produces pure products and explains each supplement and it’s benefits it has a group of scientific researchers who are on the cutting edge of this subject, you don’t sound as if you have looked into these things in an in-depth way. David Sinclair has written a book about NMN and the science of ageing and becoming ill, He says ageing is an illness and and we don’t need to have it. He believes in Health span, rather than lifespan although he thinks that age will be extended. My own experience of starting taking in NMN at 70 has drastically changed my life. I can go up ten flights of stairs never touching the hand rails without noticing it, not so before when I was noticing the tole age was having on my health and abilities. people of forty are huffing and puffing while I race ahead !!. Don’t be so uncertain find out about things, never buy things off Amazon most are fakes & the reviews are even more so. Go and look at Vince’s site my NMN experiment. He stared taking NMN 3 years ago and he roots out the fake sellers there is a recent review on the types of products sold on Amazon & Amazon itself is currently banning fake products. Hope you read this and it helps.

[@AgendaInMind]

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

How old are you. I can understand wanting to get ahead of the game, or, if you have health issues, but for someone as young, vital and lovely as you, I would think you would wish to take it slow and realize you have much time ahead to ease into this. I just began a program of NMN, Resverastrol, Querciten, and Apt???? whatever the hell it is. I am 73, have been a vegetarian and health conscious avoider of fast, processed, fat foods, since age of 23, and have had great luck with remaining healthy and vital. That has proven out for me. Now that the science has begun to show veracity in the slowing and reversing of age, I am, understandably intrigued, and am jumping on board as much for quality of life as I age, as I would be to live longer. I have little to lose by going for it. Thanks for your viewpoint and best wishes for a long and vital life.

[@LifeDIY]

Thanks so much, Clifford. That's great you recently started on NMN, Resveratrol, Quercetin and Apigenin? Those are the big ones. I am 39. Some people tend to start on these supplements around 40, though some people are younger. I was dealing with a lot of fatigue before I got on the supplements and so far they've helped with that a lot. I'm feeling pretty great, other than a shoulder issue. I too take Quercetin and NMN. If you ever want to chat with others who are on this journey, you can may want to join reddit and chat on there: www.reddit.com/r/NMN/ and Alive By Science has a subreddit too here: www.reddit.com/r/AlivebyScience/. It's nice to chat with others doing the same thing. I've been doing testing of my NAD+ levels and my biological age (epigenetic test called MyDNAge) and it seems the supplements are helping! :)

[@richardranney2068]

NR and NMN deplete the body of methyl groups, which leads to elevated levels of homocysteine. That increases heart attack risk. In order to counteract this effect, you need to be taking TMG along with your NR. Also, niacin is another precursor of NAD and it is dirt cheap if you don't mind the flushing side effect. Sustained-release niacin and extended-release niacin don't cause flushing, but sustained-release niacin is associated with liver damage and I take plain old niacin (500mg) to be on the safe side.

[@LifeDIY]

Thanks, Richard. I agree that it's possible for methylation issues when taking higher amounts of standard NMN or NR. But, if you take a form that is more bioavailable (lipsomal) it will be much less of an issue. Many people take TMG just in case though. I do as well. If anyone is interested, I could always do a histamine & homocysteine test sometime and share the results when taking TMG vs not taking it with NMN to see what a difference the TMG can make on the levels.

I have started taking NMN which I bought at Donotage. I had tried NMN and NR in the past and felt that I had a reaction to it. I convinced my mother to try it and she said she also felt she had a reaction to it. The first attempt was only 200 mg and the Donotage capsules are 1000 mg, so I didn't expect it to work for me. But, everything went OK with no reaction. Like you mentioned, I have noticed more energy. This just seems impossible. I have been embarrassed about my general clutter, and noticed that I just started organizing things automatically. BTW I have taken a lot of niacin, because I read a book by Abram Hoffer about niacin. I used it for pain relief because of rheumatoid arthritis. I did feel this worked too. My last blood tests for a routine physical were surprising, with my lipid profile being stellar. The tests before that weren't stellar, for sure. So the only thing in supplement land that I can praise as much as NMN and niacin is broccoli sprouts. But that a food, not a supplement.

To get the initial effects back you should follow what Chris Masterjohn says and take 1:1 ratio of TMG to replace the depleted methyl groups from the NR. Also, you should try taking benfotiamine which should synergize well. Also, you can try doing advanced tests for insulin resistance like HOMA-IR and 5 hour insulin and glucose challenge.

[@treewalker1070]

I'm 68 and have been taking a gram of NMN daily for almost four months. The results are fantastic. I have more energy than I have ever had, even when I was young. But what I have found is that to be really effective, the NMN has to be supplemented with exercise. It seems to give me a little more energy to exercise, and if I take advantage of that and do exercise, the energy multiplies, and keeps multiplying the more exercise I do, till I start craving exercise all the time and jump on the exercise bike every chance I get. But if I can't exercise, the effects of the NMN are not so noticeable. BTW, haven't noticed any effect on my skin so far.

But I usually struggle to walk and left home without even testing to see if I could walk normally, I adopted the walking style that avoids causing me to veer sideways but suddenly I felt my legs just wanting to do more and it was quite fun to be 'in action' again. In fact a friend shouted out to me along the way and commented on how fast and well I was walking.

Thanks for sharing that info about energy levels and comments people tend to make on your channel. For me, my lack of energy has been pretty up and down - possibly related to poor sleep and some other things. When I have energy I am as productive as possible. The NR has helped a lot with boosting the energy. When upping my dose though, I've never had poor sleep on it - kind of the opposite for me, though I've only taken 3 capsules at the most. I do notice the increase in appetite though. Also, if you ever feel like diving into InfiniteAgeCo, let me know. I am skeptical of them. I'll have to share that with you later. :)

I had a very similar experience with increase in energy levels when I started taking NMM supplements as you had when you started the NR. It was quite pronounced, a really kind of clean, motivated energy. I’m not sure if I still feel like that, I think my baseline energy has improved a lot so I don’t notice the effect anymore. I have a much more pressured job that I never though I would keep up with before. I exercise most days. It’s definitely not a cure all… I’ve still had colds etc but I feel healthier at 43 than I did in a lot of my twenties to be honest! That’s probably down to a lot of other factors also.

When I took DHEA with high hopes, I couldn't tolerate it because of my thyroid condition and I'm sure I needed it. Now I've discovered nmn, I'm going to try that and resveratrol and hope I can take it. I exercise, eat mostly vegetarian, I don't feel or look my condition or my age.

[@luckyhanger1326]

When I started taking NR and NMM with resveratrol I had the most vivid dreams, nothing bad...it was like living two lives and I was excited to go to sleep in the evening. The effect lasted a couple of weeks. The excitement about NMN is that it requires only one reaction to make it into NAD+. David Sinclair seems to think it is slightly more effective then NR but offered no proof. I take a bit of each, NR and NMN, about 500 mg total between them. The other niacin that recharges NAD+ is nicotinic acid, it has it own pathway but requires several chemical reactions for the conversion. I take 500 mg to 750 mg a day...super cheap but it does cause flushing, that is why I take 250 mg at a time, above that and I flush. If you don't go into a deep flush....it feels really cool. :) A full flush with itching sucks. :(

[@LifeDIY]

Thanks so much for sharing some of your experience. The dreams sound fun! I've also read that NMN might more easily convert into NAD+. But, taking all three types sounds like a great idea too. Did you notice changes in your energy or health overall? I noticed I'm able to exercise a lot more, where I had very little energy to do so before.

Have confidence in yourself, you are doing great and your video will help many people. I notice the same hunger from NMN. I started with NMN and found that even at 125mg per day, it can push me too hard, especially mentally (a bit like Ritalin), with or without TMG makes no difference. Like you I tend to take only twice a week. I have also taken NAD+ complete which combines NR, NMN and NAD, and I tend to prefer that one, I feel more of the relaxing and quiet energy compared to NMN. I haven't tried NR in isolation and now feel that maybe I should. Do you notice a difference in effect between NMN and NR other than the hunger feeling?

Thank you so much for providing us your experience with NMN/NR.

That being said, I am happy you had a very positive noticeable effect with the NMN/NR.

Hi Dr. Casey! Thank you for the comment. I do need a good functional medicine doc. There aren't any in my area, so I consult with one who is 8 hours south of where I live, but I think I need someone new (with my region of the state at least). I did the DUTCH complete test on my own & my functional doc looked at it - actually had very low cortisol. Although I have had great results with NMN, I still have issues with my thyroid. So, thank you for the reminder and advice. There just aren't many options by me. I can't even find a doctor nearby who will prescribe my NDT (natural thyroid medicine). Anyway, I just subscribed to your channel! Thank you for the comment! Have a great weekend.

@@LifeDIY man that sucks you don’t have anyone local. That is the downside to functional medicine, is that there are so few of us out there that it’s like mainly large metropolitan areas. I’m in miami for example. A good functional doc won’t just diagnose your adrenal deficiency or hashimotos, but will ask the deeper questions as to why you have this to begin with. Given your improvement with NMN, maybe a mitochondrial cause. That being said, in my experience usually not just one cause but causes. Anyways I hope you find someone who can help you put the pieces together. Good on you for researching and bio hacking yourself!

Dear, I'm suffering from premature skin aging and I'm not even thirty. I look older than you by genetic reasons. Since you're working to alive by nature - could you recommend a product that could, even by chance, help restore the healthy tighter skin.

[@LifeDIY]

S L, I am sorry to hear that. I have a couple recommendations. With Alive by Nature/Alive By Science - their face serum is what I would definitely recommend. I helped conduct a trial that lasted several months and you can see some details and results here: alivebyscience.com/renue-serum-trial/ and it really helped improve the skin for many people. Other than that, I would recommend either a retinol type product and/or the use of glycolic acid peels somewhat regularly. I think those help improve the skin so much. They help with cellular turnover and renewal. Have you tried many skincare treatments or products?

[@cd2888]

I did NMN for 6 months. I didn’t receive any noticeable benefits or side effects. I routinely get my blood work done and I never saw any changes . My blood pressure and oxygen levels stayed the same. I also did not notice any differences with my workout output or cosmetic changes. My cardio levels remained the same. And definitely no hair regrowth! I stopped taking it because of the cost and there’s just not a lot of human trials. First, I’m a healthy 43 years who eats a healthy diet and I don’t smoke or drink. As more research gets published, I may try it again in the future. For those looking at NMN or NR for ‘energy’ I did not get any energy boost. For sustainable energy, I’ve found healthy diet, matcha, vitamin D3, zinc, quercetin, k2 stack worked very well for me.

[@LifeDIY]

Thank you so much for sharing this. What kind of NMN were taking, and how much? I think what you're doing with your health and diet are most important. But, supplements can help as well for some people, if they are the right ones. How was your bloodwork to begin with? What is pretty good? It is possible now to test NAD+ levels. I took a large break from NMN and when I did the test, my levels were very low. I am going to retest again soon since I began supplementing again.

[@cd2888]

I took 1 gram of NMN by Gene Formulas, stacking it with 1 gram Resveratrol by Reserveage daily in the morning with my morning shake. During the period, I did not get my NAD levels tested. I did get my blood tested every 3 months and get routine checkups. I’m a healthy adult male who works out 4 times a week and eats a low high protein, low carbs, moderate fat diet. I started taking the stack after seeing Sinclair on the Rogan Podcast. My take away: If the NAD boosting theory worked, wouldn’t there be some signs of decreased aging, specifically hair regrowth, increased testosterone, tightening of the skin etc…also athletic performance.

NR works despite what studies say. If I take 300mg in the morning I can keep working all day without exhaustion. Basically I feel like I'm 21 again. BUT! It's not a stimulant. So you can't just take it and plop on the sofa and expect to have more energy. The NR enters your bloodstream where it is available for use for your muscles and heart but only if your muscles and heart demand such energy. In 1 sentence: NR provides you with the endurance level of a 21 year old for the amount of time it remains in your blood (usually 12 hours to 24 hours)

Just a quick note---- I'm sure you know this, but I'll recap in case anyone doesn't. Tsh(thyroid stimulating hormone) gets higher when your 'furnace' needs to produce more energy. You then create t4 which is converted to t3 which is your furnace energy. Typical treatment for hypothyroid is t4(synthroid, etc) that you body converts to t3 for energy. If the conversion doesn't work as well for you (remember it takes a while to ramp up), then you have a couple options. One is to supplement with t3(cytomel) as well as t4, which will get you going. Or,...... take armour thyroid that has t4 and t3 in it. The second option worked better for me, easier to control. switching from t4(synthroid, etc) to amour thyroid (which has t4 and t3).

It would be a very good idea to have a full blood test done before taking any supplements. I had mine checked and found my folic acid and b12 levels to be borderline low. After sorting that out I feel 100 times better. It would be dangerous to mask a problem that has potential irreversible effects by taking something else.

[@LifeDIY]

So true about getting bloodwork done. Sometimes no supplementation is better than over-supplementation. Many docs won't do comprehensive testing - ie: folic acid, b12, or even vitamin D. If that occurs, you can order bloodwork online from DHALabs or WalkinLabs or AnyLabTestNow (or some similar site) and get it done on your own, though the cost may be $100+. Always good to check on levels when possible.

If anyone knows of a uk source do let me know. Thanks for the video, all clear and concise. Think I’ll also start with a low dosage. Keep trucking kid, good content.

[@LifeDIY]

Craig, thank you! Love your comment. Glad you found David on Joe Rogan's recent podcast or video. I watched it too. He has gained a ton of exposure from those interviews. What company did you order from?

Try Do not age for UK based high qualitg products. But very expensive, just thinking about my first order.

[@persistentone3448]

ResveraCel is a bad experiment for testing NMN. The problem is this supplement contains other nutraceuticals like Quercetin, Resveratrol, and Trimethylglycine (TMG). The Resveratrol could be stimulating fasted metabolism. The TMG on its own would be highly energizing if you have methylation defects since it would provide a new path to bring homocysteine back to methionine in the methylation cycle. My guess is that your symptom of feeling very hungry after taking the Thorne supplement is the Resveratrol. Find a pure Resveratrol and see if that symptoms duplicates without taking Thorne. If you want to test NMN, then buy a few different pure NMN and NR supplements and compare the effects with each of these.

[@LifeDIY]

Thanks and you are totally right. I think the resveratrol itself had the biggest impact on me - in numerous ways. When I have time, I am going to do more research on resveratrol and how it impacts the body in different ways. I think it is also the reason I was so amped with energy. I have had methylation (histamine) tested in the past, but not in the last few years. I'd like to see how it is now. Thanks for your advice here.

I have had two little tias/ STROKES been on nmn right hand side a wee bit cold but I get through the day a bit tired.also on extra virgin olive oil and metformin. Yes it does help with life. Go for it !

[@jayseb]

I really appreciate the way you presented this and the quantities necessary. That's is something usually forgotten by most. Seems like decent amounts (a few grams a day) are necessary for nmn to kick in. Others also indicate taking it with fatty foods to help absorption (yogourt...).

[@LifeDIY]

Thanks so much for the nice comment. I have learned so much since I posted this video. I am going to do a major update video soon. You are right that sometimes a lot of NMN is necessary for it to really work. But, if you take a form that gets into the bloodstream better (liposomal), then you don't need to take so much. Also if you take too much NMN or NR, you can cause issues due to excess NAM. I've been taking liposomal NMN and also monitoring my NAD+ levels through bloodwork, and it's working well. I am going to do a video on that too. Thank you again for your comment!

[@MsSilkyJuneja]

@@hodlwise2470 Hi Hodi I had the same question and also wanted to know what’s the test to check NAD levels and also degree of methylation in the body? Waiting for her answers n video on this 😇

[@hodlwise2470]

@@MsSilkyJuneja yeah, hopefully she'll answer. I can Google all of that but I'm doing other research lol. I'll wait to see what she says and verify it. I probably won't take NMN, tho. If you do, check Dr. Sinclairs protocol, he takes with Resveratrol. I prefer Carbon 60, C60. It's an amazing molecule and it's a very powerful antioxidant. It actually inhibits SARS-CoV-2 C3LPro and RdRp/Nsp8 co-factor. The new Ivermectin copycat therapeutic Pfizer is coming out with only inhibits C3LPro, but Ivermectin also inhibits C3LPro and has a few other mechanisms of action as well, but both of those are prescription and C60 you can get without prescription 🙃

[@MsSilkyJuneja]

@@hodlwise2470 Oh wowww 😃That’s great information from you about C60 I’ll look into it , I didn’t know about that .. What is ur hunch about NMN ? Lack of human case reasearch n studies ? I have gone through David Sinclair’s protocol.. and his suggestion regarding Micronised Resveratrol .. I am also watching MYNMNEXPERIMENT and Dr. Brad Stanfield for more information, I will make sure I gather all the important details before I consume a random molecule 🙂Thanks for the suggestion though . Before NMN I am thinking of buying the NR She’s mentioned from Thorne research, it’s a great brand and I am suffering from unexplained chronic fatigue in 30s so my goal is ENERGY first

[@hodlwise2470]

@@MsSilkyJuneja there was a study published out of France in 2012 using C60 that increased lifespan of the rats by 90%. They generally live about 2-2.5 years and the rats lived to 5 years with C60. It was from a company called SES Research, Inc, based out of Texas. I take their C60+olive oil variant. I have done pretty extensive research on C60 and it seems much safer than NMN. NMN sounds good, I'm still researching, but there is the propensity for it to increase risk of cancer in some people from what I've read. I will probably try NMN at some point, though. I take NAC daily and S-Acetyl L-Glutathione about 2x/week. NAC replenishes intracellular glutathione, and the Acetyl variant of glutathione is more readily absorbed by the body. So, on the days I take S-Acetyl L-Glutathione, I don't take NAC. I'm also looking into Nattokinase and Serepeptase. So far I'm liking what I'm finding in the medical journals/research papers. All of the aforementioned with exception to NMN have inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2. I take melatonin as well, which is a powerful antioxidant and has been used to treat COVID patients as well, but in high doses (36-72mg taken 4x/day). I take zinc + Quercetin and D3 with K2 (MK7) also, as well as a multivitamin with selenium and Resveratrol. All of these also have inhibitory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects against SARS-CoV-2 and pretty much act as prophylaxis. Been taking since Feb 2020 and never caught COVID, nor anyone in my family. VitD acts as prophylaxis due to D3 causing viral infected cells to undergo apoptosis. 9/10 patients that have died from the RONA are deficient in VitD. Also, selenium, melatonin, and L-Glutamine deficiencies also affects the outcome of COVID patients. Check out Dr. Neel's high dose melatonin video on KZbin. Learned a lot about a variety of supplements that are beneficial for your health, and as a bonus they all are effective to one degree or another against SARS-CoV-2, so I revolve my supplement stack around that. Hope this helps

Oh, you have also inspired me to get my NAD level tested before starting my first NAD precursor. Not sure that I prefer the NAD score from my VA bloodwork. Prefer private testing.

Will likely test out NR first, then NMN, then that combo product you mention in your other video. Thanks teacher. Great effort and sharing. Love your health comeback. Congratulations!

On 250mg of NMN daily right now, doesn't seem to increase energy that much for me but it's definitely more noticeable than baseline, I am 20 though so my NAD+ levels should already be fine. I find it has a great mood boost though

I bought 250 grams and took a half teaspoon a day and it tripled my cardio output during exercise. However when I stopped I no longer desired to go do that amount of exercise. It didn't seem to motivate me but I suppose it did keep me in performance mode to do that level of intensity. I felt no different mentally it's just I was able to go longer until fatigue and recovery seemed to be ok the next day. I tried one teaspoon but it gave me headaches. About 750 mg to a gram is probably the best amount. I used it three months as consistently as I can remember it. In my 50s I started cardio 10 min twice a week at the end 5 days a week 80 minutes on a stationary bike. Now I'm about 3 x 30 minutes of exercise 1 swim, I treadmill and one weight workout. I would honestly say it improves stamina. I didn't look younger and my weight stayed the same but I became more toned.Breathing was better supplementing during the intensity of the exercise. I think cardarine would be great together. I never did get the Astaxanthin I heard it's like the fuel and nmn is the engine. They are synergistic.

I've suffered from a variety of symptoms, mostly fatigue and weakness after a few hours of activity. I immediately noticed a boost in energy and stamina, from the first dose. I was very high energy as a young person. 65 now. I noticed the boost with Niacinamide, but even more with NMN. Only a small dose. I think it depends on what your particular disorder is.

[@emilauriel]

Really interesting video! You talked about fatigue...do you feel that the NR & NMN has stabilized your energy levels much more now? And do you feel a change now after almost 2 years of taking it compared to when you put out the video? (when you had tried it for 9 months)

[@LifeDIY]

Hi Emil, thank you! I definitely feel it has helped increase my energy levels. I am not sure about NR anymore, as I currently take NMN. I did get a huge energy boost from the NR that I was taking in the beginning and I am sort of convinced it was from the resveratrol or the combination of resveratrol with a NAD+ booster. I am super sensitive to resveratrol. It really amps up the energy for me. I am still taking NAD+ boosters (NMN specifically now) and I feel like my energy levels have stabilized or raised higher than they used to. And, I even feel like I don't need to take it everyday and I can take lesser amounts and still feel great. :)
