I'm not doubting your numbers but would be interested to hear if others also think the numbers are like 200,000 compared to a few thousand. If that's the case then why is that? Is it because NR is easier to obtain, because it came out first, because it's cheaper or simply because it's considered to work better than NMN. How about sublingual NMN compared to NR?
NR has been sold for 4 years at least.
NMN did not become even remotely affordable until late 2017. And doesn’t have the big corporations like Chromadex and Elysium spending millions to advertise it, so of course it doesn’t have the large customer base.
We argue about the science lot here, but I often feel like a chimpanzee trying to understand what makes a race car go faster. Maybe we'll hear in a few years what the research says comparing them. But so far, there is no research with direct comparisons on effectiveness.
I do notice the NMN powder has a 4 1/2 star average on amazon. The tablets don’t seem quite as popular, with 4 star average, followed by the NMN capsules.
Even though it cost less, Tru Niagen is at 3 1/2 stars. I don't know if that is an indicator of customer satisfaction, or some other market forces I don't understand.
