First has anyone noticed a difference by taking NAD+? The people on reddit say it fixes everything from a stomach Ace to acne.

NAD+ bioavailability through oral supplements is too low to make it worthwhile. The best way to get it is directly into the bloodstream, which is impractical for most people. IM is better than subcutaneous, but some people will argue that is even a waste. NAD precursors like Nicotinamide (B3) are absorbed well though. You can get B-Complex from India pretty cheap that contains B3, B5, B12 etc. If you are doing NAD+ you should take those as well.

I got b complex supplement from Walmart already, unless you are talking about an injection.

Yes, I’m referring to injection but the B vitamins do have much better absorption orally than NAD.

Is there anyone that can comment on the op question about seeing any benefits from NAD

I have used NAD since I have been on reta and honestly don't know if I can say that I have noticed anything. When I first started using it, there was maybe some effect but I suspect it was because I was expecting one (i.e placebo). I do still take it 3x per week at 100mg per dose but I can't really say if it has been useful for me.

I am actually planning to start running MOTS-C because of this. Supposedly there is a more marked effect that is noticeable with MOTS-C use.

I have an update. After several weeks of NAD from Loyal at 100mg every 3 days with zero signs of anything
I switched to NAD from Cain I could tell a difference right away with some immediate energy boost. My goal is for longer term cognitive therapy
I have a NAD testing kit sent in to see what my blood levels are after a few weeks of use
