Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Disclaimer: I have no connection with any company selling any product. I am 66 years old, had been taking "Basis" for a while, and originally it worked, but something changed about a year ago and I was just not feeling as good as I had been. I did some research and found that they had changed suppliers. I found out that ChromaDex was the original source, licensed by the university that came up with this particular version of vitamin B3. I ordered one bottle, and suddenly I felt that subtle energy that I was missing. It won't make you super human, but it does give a nice taste of youthful vitality. Encouraged by this, I decided to experiment with increasing my daily intake. I have slowly worked my way up to taking two capsules of Niagen and one Pterostilbene with each meal. I then added another dose before bed on an empty stomach. This is, admittedly, a radical approach. The reason I did this was because I had been slowly "fading" over the last couple of years. I did not like the direction this was heading. Note of caution: This information is all "anecdotal" evidence. It is only my experience, not a clinical study. Your mileage may vary. I relate this because it is working for me, and I am experiencing no adverse side effects at all. I am not diabetic, not taking any medication of any sort except for over the counter Ibuprophen for joint and muscle aches. I have been on this extreme regimen for about a month and a half. The effects have been slowly building. This is not an "overnight" cure for anything, however it may be a multi-month cure for some things. In addition to increased stamina and muscular function, there appears to be an increased ability to self repair. Two examples: Skin lesions and pain when chewing. Yes, I know, this is the icky bit. Over the last year I had developed a skin lesion about the size of a pencil eraser in diameter. It was disturbing because it would not heal. Topical antibiotics had no effect. It was not getting worse, but it was not getting better. A month and a half of this radical regimen and it is gone. I can not tell where it was. During this same time I have begun to be able to chew tough foods again, like steak. I had been considering dentures, but not any more. For me, this is really amazing. In the delicate area of sexual function, the effect is not like Viagra, it is not that kind of muscular effect. The effect is more on, how should I put this, on the "fluid dynamics". It has returned to more youthful levels. Let's leave it at that. I am taking this with Pterostilbene 100mg (not recommended for diabetics) and Bacopa Vitality: Pterostilbene 100mg Capsules (Third Party Tested) Made in the USA, 60 Capsules by Double Wood Supplements Life Enhancement Bacopa Vitality -- 90 Capsules In summary: My reasoning for taking large quantities like this was to make sure that I maintained high blood levels throughout the 24 hour cycle, including sleep where much of the self repair activity seems to occur. I am certain that much of this is being flushed out of the system, but it is totally worth it to me for the results that I am getting. I won't call it a Fountain of Youth at this point, but I feel ten years younger and things are healing in surprising ways. I am also feeling less mentally foggy (that's a technical term). It has, unfortunately, not turned me into an Einstein..... Again, I caution that this is only my experience, not a clinical study. We may share a common genome, but individual gene expression can cause variations in results. I am reluctant to post this review because of my radical approach, but the results for me have been too good to keep secret. If you want to try this radical approach, consult with your doctor, and take it slow. Start with the recommended dose for two weeks at breakfast, then add a dose at lunch for two weeks, then one at dinner for two weeks, see how that goes. I added another dose at bed time, it did not keep me up. Good luck and be cautious with this approach, it is radical.
