Physician Believer!
I am a physician in his 70's --18months on Niagen--I take up to a gram a day as per clinical studies and no adverse effects
Positive effects: improved online blitz 3 minute chess scores
less delayed onset muscle soreness post exercise
less dependent on pain relievers especially NSAIDS
improved tennis having migrated from intermediate/social doubles to singles even to competing in state tournaments
improved skin, faster nail and hair growth
white hair has become darker
have not be ill except for one episode ? food poisoning in 18 month( previously prolonged hacking cough post URI everywinter plus flu episodes)
less sweet craving
at least 10 lb weight loss without conscious dietary change
lowered blood pressure to levels when I was 20, especially systolic BP
20 % improvement in renal function studies
I suspect it will has positive longevity implications--You can wait for the definitive studies in a decade or 2 but Im hedging my bets now
Cons: expensive
that's all I can think of at the moment--all the best
