If I say it helps me with my back pain, there are no references for that just my "personal experience".
.
And I think that's wonderful! Congratulations on finding something that helps heal or reduce pain caused by a bad back. That's an important insight, thank you for expressing it, and I hope NR will continue to work positively far into the future.
I'm also all for people posting their positive, negative, and neutral effects with anything related to slowing down the aging process and lengthening lives. We're all in this together, folks, so to me more information is better than less information.
I wish it worked for me! If it did, I'd also sing its praises and be irked by those who sought to invalidate my experience. So thank you for the healthy discussion, everyone. I did try Niagen in small doses (250mg/d), medium doses (500mg/d) and larger doses (1-3g/d) for nearly two years. But the stuff is very expensive, and when I noticed it not doing anything (for me; not implying you, anyone) then I thought well, I'm stubborn, I'll just keep going with it, higher and higher doses, still nothing, then I finally gave up. But nothing is wrong with me, I'm young, healthy, athletic, and perhaps I'm not the right demographic. But since it's often marketed directly to young athletes, it is confusing if now we're saying it's perhaps more appropriate for older folks in various stages of aging degeneration.
Or: it could be doing something brilliant within, and some of us just can't feel it.
If it works, do it! It appears GRAS, so keep up with it, and perhaps watch yourself over time to monitor if it continues working.
