Hi Friends... I'm always on the lookout for any supplements or PED to improve my quality of Health and Energy.

(last one is Ben Greenfield, Life-extension guru).

This new topic and I'm trying to learn more about it.

Here's what I've read so far;
  • -NR (niagen) is a form of vitamin B3 that converts into NAD+ inside cells through enzymatic pathways, requiring fewer conversion steps than other precursors.
  • -Once inside the cell, NR is first converted to NMN before becoming NAD+
  • -Straight NAD+ (IM, IV or Fat Cells). Is injected (IM or Fat Cells),... or IV Drip (which can take hours).
  • -NMN is the immediate precursor to NAD+, needing only one step before converting to NAD+
  • -NR is considered more efficient for boosting NAD+ levels because it is smaller and can enter cells directly, whereas NAD+ is too large to cross cell membranes and must be broken down into precursors for absorption.
*Anyone try injectable NAD+ OR NR+ ---- HOW did it work out... any noticeable improvements?

Thanks for your constructive input ~

I’ve tried all of these, and they all work one way or another.

NMN or NR on their own just take a bit of time to build up. The older you are, the more you’ll feel them right away and as they build.

NAD injections are nice since the effect is immediate, but doesn’t really stick around as much. It’s in your face for about an hour or so then it’s in the background.

I still inject it every now and again, combined with glutathione, it seems to last longer and have more impact on energy and well being. Once I run out, I’ll go back to alternating between NR and NMN.

Nootropics depot has a great mix call optinad
Or something along those lines which includes a balanced mix of all these precursors along with some supportive things. I really liked that when I was using it.
 
NR’s been a game changer. No more afternoon dips, supercharged energy & waking up raring to go.

Trick is finding ones that actually has NR. First few I bought off Amazon didn’t do anything but found out the site’s rife with fakes so I had to research which ones had CoA for mass and purity. Still not a guarantee but the one I purchased (don’t ask me, it’s vendor CoA but I’m not sure if it’s legit) did the trick.
