Ok, I'm not a typical reviewer and I'm skeptical of most health products. There are no free lunches in nature so a "magic pill" that can do all sorts of miraculous claims seems dubious to me. I heard about this product on advertisements and podcasts, but a trusted friend of mine recommended it so I gave it a chance, despite its exorbitant price.I have no idea if this works or even if it does what it claims. But I do know it's absolutely doing "something". What that "something" is, I'm not sure, but as a very heavy drinker, I noticed I don't get the same hangovers like I used to after a hard night. I'm still tired and sleepy, but I don't get the headaches, nausea, and foggy-brain the next morning. And as I have gotten older my hangovers have gotten worse, wrecking the next day or even two days. But since taking this, I feel closer to my younger years where I would rebound much quicker by the morning.So like I said, does it do what it claims, is it anti-aging, does it something-something with cells, function, repair blah blah? I have no idea. Have I noticed some effect on me since taking it? Absolutely. If all it does is make my hangovers more manageable in the mornings, then it's worth it for me. But I think whatever this NAD+ thing is doing to help my hangovers is probably doing to help my overall health so I'll definitely be keeping up with this going forward.

Another update 12/8/21: I have been taken 300mg each morning for a few months now. Over the last three weeks I’ve been noticing a decline in energy, sleep and clarity. It made me wonder if I started to build a tolerance or plateau and need to increase dosage over time. I decided to add an additional 150mg to my original 300mg dosage yesterday morning. I didn’t really notice anything till I woke this morning. I had a little more energy waking up, a little more clarity, and slightly better mood. I had more vivid dreams too. I will say that life has been quite busy of late, and I have been eating quick and easy packaged snack food (mostly processed grains) that doesn’t agree with normal my anti-inflammation/anti grain diet. This is causing painful inflammation which could be causing increased fatigue, brain fog, and low mood. That said, I might have stayed good at the 300mg dose if I was eating better. Hopefully I can get off this merry-go-round after the holidays and go back to eating right and back to my 300mg, as these are expensive. Still they are worth it. Adding this with my AIP diet, I experienced so much more strength and energy. Not a shaky energy, more like heighten motivation to take on the day and do more. For a time I was working out every morning and beginning to quickly see results in muscle tone. Something I haven’t seen in a long while, and something that isn’t supposed to be so easy after 40. I think I just messed things up with eating pizza and grains the past few weeks. Thankfully adding on the 150mg is helping a little.First Update: this is definitely working. It’s subtle but I noticed results the first week of taking it. I’ve been taking this for three weeks now and definitely see a difference in my energy levels. I am getting more done. My thoughts are more organized. I seem to be more motivated as well. Which is huge. I was taking this last year and stopped because I thought they were giving me headaches but I haven’t had any headaches in the three weeks I have been taking this at full 300mg dose. I think the headaches may have been from taking it with Pterostilbene. Not sure. I will have to experiment with the Pterostinbene again and report back. I wish I never stopped taking it, as the results are accumulative I’m sure. I spent most of the spring and summer tired/uninspired; and this was in my drawer the whole time. Live and learn. Definitely worth a try.Original review: I was taking this last year everyday sometimes every other day for a few months and slowly, started to notice more energy, vitality and increased strength endurance. It’s a subtle experience over time. Unfortunately, I also noticed that it gave me headaches sometimes. So I started using half the dose. I purchased some empty gelatin capsules and would fill them with half the powder from the NR capsule. This seemed to help lessen the headaches but was a hassle. Eventually I stopped taking them altogether. Not making the connection until now (4 months later) i went from taking power yoga classes everyday to twice a week. I seem to have more brain fog, less muscle strength and increased fatigue. I don’t think I fully appreciated how well these worked because it’s so subtle. It’s not like you feel it working (like a caffeine rush). Now I’m back to repurchase and see if I can get back the strength, vitality, and clarity I experienced last year. Will definitely update to confirm results. The headaches I got with this could have also been from coupling with other supplements so will experiment there. My advice would be to maybe start with 150mg and work your way up from there.

I have been taking these since entering peri-menopause and they are amazing! My energy is back up, I can get through my daily to-do list with more focus. When I forget to take it, I actually feel a difference, especially mid-afternoon. No side effects for me. I take 1-per day.

I've only been on it a week but I fee like I have more energy. This seems to be measurable in that I am starting to do the things I have been putting off and I am my head and thoughts in general are much clearer. I only bought the 30 day but if this continues I will get a refill and go from there. This product is expensive but when I was looking at cheaper similar products I saw some people saying that the other product is not as effective. This one was recommended so I have seen that before, supplement brands can and do have differences and effectiveness.

I keep this bottle on my vanity. I take it twice a day. I have actually noticed an improvement in my skin. I have ordered a second bottle because I believe this to be a quality product that does what it says. Small and easy to swallow as well.
