Research<\/a> suggests NAD+ precursors may support cellular health, including mitochondrial function and energy production. But the results aren\u2019t always promising. A recent study<\/a> found no meaningful benefits for people with early-stage Parkinson\u2019s disease, which disappointed some researchers who had hoped the treatment might offer a breakthrough.<\/p>\n I\u2019d tried NAD+ before and noticed some immune-related benefits, but I\u2019ve never been a fan of pills. So when I came across Tru Niagen\u2019s popular stick packs<\/a>, which sells for just under $60 on Amazon<\/a>, I figured I\u2019d give it a shot. I also doubled my daily dose to 600 mg \u2014 and within a couple of weeks, I noticed the difference. <\/p>\n NAD+ hasn\u2019t made me look younger (I\u2019m 26, after all, so I wasn\u2019t really expecting a miracle), but I have noticed other perks. After getting home home from work, I\u2019ve found I have loads more energy. Enough to hit the gym, chase my toddler around the park and still have the stamina to build (and destroy) her LEGO creations with her \u2014 while totally losing track of time. In other words, I actually feel like a kid again.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve also been sleeping better, dreaming more and feeling less wound up. Whether it\u2019s the supplement or a placebo effect is hard to say, but the shift feels real.<\/p>\n Each Tru Niagen stick delivers 300 mg of patented nicotinamide riboside (NR), a well-researched and highly absorbable NAD+ precursor that the body uses to produce NAD+ at the cellular level.<\/p>\n A head-to-head clinical study <\/a>comparing NR with NMN found that Tru Niagen increased blood NAD+ levels by 161%, compared with 69% for NMN. Additionally, Tru Niagen has been clinically shown to increase NAD+ levels by up to 150% in just three weeks.<\/p>\n Beyond the clinical research, users have echoed many of the same benefits I\u2019ve experienced. \u201cI\u2019ve been taking it for a few months now, and in the short term I\u2019ve noticed more energy and the ability to \u2018bounce back\u2019 quicker after a late night with a few cocktails,\u201d one pleased reviewer shared.<\/p>\n The formula is quite simple to use. The brand recommends taking one stick daily, which can be mixed into smoothies or drinks. It doesn\u2019t have a stong flavor, and the powder format is believed to aborb easily into the body, offering a more efficient delivery system. <\/p>\n Tru Niagen is also vegetarian, third-party tested for safety and purity and backed by more than 23 years of research and innovation. As with any supplement, check with your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions.<\/p>\n This article was written by Miska Salemann<\/a>, New York Post Commerce Writer\/Reporter.
