We had a little discussion earlier about combining NR with Niacin. Other discussions have thrown NAM + R out there as an alternative to NR.
I have learned a lot from those discussions and am interested in opinions of using all 4 of these NAD+ precursors in combination.
Personally, I have been using NR almost 2 years, and am quite happy with results, but always interested in more and cheaper. Using 500mg a day currently.
I started adding Niacin a few months back. The flush didn't bother me, in fact kind of like it unless I take too much and get itchy. Am up to 1000mg twice day now, with little to no flush anymore. I do feel a lot more energized with the Niacin.
I added NAM to routine about 4 weeks ago, but failed to notice anything, and sometimes felt a little "weird" in the morning.
I noticed Turnbuckle and others mention NAM can make you drowsy.
Also noticed Michael recommends and takes Tryptophan in the evenings, so ordered that.
I added 500mg Tryptophan to the 2000mg NAM and take those together 1 hour before bed.
The results have been awesome for me. Sleep is deep and refreshing, and feeling better every day. Only 1 week with this routine, but so far so good.
I know Micheal has voiced concerns about Niacin possibly having an impact on elevated blood glucose levels, but being dedicated Keto, I have excellent control over that so not a concern for me.
Does anyone else use a similar combination? Any concerns about using all together? Heres my current routine:
Morning
500 mg NR
1000 mg Niacin
Afternoon
1000 mg Niacin
Evening
2000 mg Nicotinamide
500 mg Tryptophan
