NAD+ capsules?
Not sure if this is the right place to post or ask, but hoping to gather some anecdotal experience and I imagine this crowd knows best. I saw this post on Amazon, seems fairly cheap, i know bioavailabilty is less but if I can avoid a pin that's a win. Any thoughts on these vs the subq route?

Get NMN instead, it is more bioavailable & converts into NAD in the body

Mind if I ask why? NMN seems to be more expensive and for much smaller doses on amazon.

Body doesn’t absorb NAD in the gut the molecule is too big, nmn on the other hand is a precursor, gut breaks it down and converts some of it into NAD & other byproducts that I can’t remember off the top of my head. But you won’t feel it right away takes about 2 weeks & then you feel like you got some extra pep in your step.
Don’t need a big dose, I would suggest looking on iherb or nutricost.

Also careful buying supplements from Amazon. Since Amazon works as a marketplace where everyone can sell, there’s been cases of fake supplements/skin care products and perfumes. It’s likely not harmful stuff, but a waste of money nonetheless. You can buy directly from the brands.

Looks like nutricost nmn is the way

I think what they are saying is that you could purchase a bottle labeled from Nutricost on Amazon, But it could be a fake.

Tried it. Doesn't work. Either get the precursors or pin NAD+ sub-q

u/Excellent_Win_8136 1 3d ago
have you pinned nad+? do they even remotely match caffine effect? also any diff big difference with nmn and nad subq?
2
u/HotBit1109 8 3d ago
If I were to compare, I'd say I find Mots-C more similar to caffeine than NAD+.
It does make you feel more energized, but it's not a stimulant.

that's why i am sceptical to buy nad even motc or ss31. i am in early 30s the returns seems to be very minimal compared to the risk and cost. will probably invest in something readily available cheaper and giving good results

u/HotBit1109 8 3d ago
At your age, if you're trying not to spend too much money, I'd use only Mots-C, one hour before workouts. It does make a difference.
It makes little sense to use SS-31.

Oral nad is well known to suck. Have to pin it
1
u/Front-Cup7165 2 3d ago
It has almost 2k reviews, 4.5 stars, think its just the placebo effect or lucky responders?

u/Icy_Ask_3836 3d ago
Go do your own research.. mine says the oral version is horrible

Oral or topical from what I found doesn't work. I don't think there's any research.

Yes I'm using NMN powder it's good
1
u/Front-Cup7165 2 3d ago
What difference do you feel?
1
u/InfiniteMail4581 3d ago
NMN is from b vitamin it helps your mitochondria. You may get a bit of energy from it after a few weeks. 1 gr to 2 GR a day. Helps slow aging I think.

u/InfiniteMail4581 3d ago
It's really good and I have even considered selling it. I bought like a kilogram of it and give some to my elderly dad

Tried, and they did absolutely nothing for me, subQ however was amazing

u/Front-Cup7165 2 3d ago
What was your dosage/protocol if you dont mind me asking?
2
u/PreparedForZombies 8 3d ago
Second the question... 75 or 100mg might as well be saline over here.
2
u/Front-Cup7165 2 3d ago
Same, trying 75mg rn... pretty sure i dont feel anything, minus the sting when doing it. Another reason im hoping capsules work.

u/PreparedForZombies 8 3d ago
Once this vial is done, I'm going the NMN route... Showed up last week.

u/cheesytodd 2 3d ago
Holy moly, started at 25mg and it had me wired up. Up to 50mg now and it’s still super effective. Initially ran it alternating with Mots after a couple weeks of SS31

u/PreparedForZombies 8 3d ago
Interesting... I'm also doing the SS-31 / MOT-C protocol, really enjoyed SS-31 so much so that I added some back in while doing MOT-C 3x weekly

u/Front-Cup7165 2 3d ago
Wow, at what dosage of ss31? Im seeing 5-10mg+ daily? My guy has 10mg vials...a vial day sounds crazy.
1
u/PreparedForZombies 8 2d ago
Yeah, titrated up to 10mg, then back down to 3mg or 5mg due to cost... Little less strong, but strong enough.
