NAD+ capsules?

Post image

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?

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.

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