GENEX NAD+ Precursor Supplement (100g Bulk Powder) - Stabilized Form | 99% Pure Powder for Increased NAD+ Levels, DNA Repair, & Healthy Aging - Non-GMO, GMP-Certified (100 Scoops/Jar)

This was my first time buying NMN and I was a little concerned it would not be legit. I'm not an expert, so I will defer to Dr David Sinclair. He says you should look for: *NMN that is certified pure by "Good Manufacturing Practice"....check *White or slightly grey flaky powder....check *Dr Sinclair says pure NMN has a "sour popcorn" taste......check *Dissolves completely in water within a half minute or so....checkThe first five days I felt quite warm by the end of the day (like I had a fever), but this went away.It could be a placebo effect, but I no doubt feel a rush of energy for about two hours after taking the NMN.As far as longer term effects, I will update this review.UPDATE: Five weeks into treatment:I'm 65 with grey hair and a grey beard. I didn't expect this, but my hair and beard are turning black (my original color). Also, I'm on the verge of being bald on top, and I'm actually growing new black hairs. In addition, my existing hair is much thicker.In addition, Five weeks into treatment you can throw out your viagra. Amazing sexual effects.Full disclosure, in addition to NMN I have been taking Metformin for two years. I also started intermittent fasting about the same time I started NMN.

I use to fill my own capsules. It's more work but the taste is less when swallowed.

Strength and energy

This is my first experience taking NMN in a 1,000mg dose.I generally take 500mg (or maybe a little more) which I find effective and good results.I've taken Genex several times now find I get different results / affects -depending on taking it with / without food.> This kinda goes to my head for a few minutes without a meal. (effective in approx 15-30 min)> it takes a bit longer to kick in for me with a meal - but is a more supportive,sustained mental clarity. (approx 45-60 min) = lasts several hours.After reading more info before I started this product, it turns out the humanand animal studies for safety and efficacy say there's an RDA for NMN which says> Folks 30yr - 60yr is 500mg daily> Folks over 65 yr can safely take 750mg daily to maximize it benefits.This is to be taken one LEVEL scoop in a glass of water (doesn't say the oz)It dissolves when it hits liquid and completely stirs in (doesn't settle)I take it in 5 oz of water and it has almost no taste.Just VERY slightly light - tart / citric.> It's completely unnoticed in orange juice.This is 99% pure beta-nicotinamide mononucleotide = NMNwhich - may I remind you is the active form of NMN.> This plain powder tastes the same as the powders you'd adsorbed under the tongue,which I often used (very tart / bitter)But this 6-CC scoop is much larger than would be reasonable under the tongue.Good product of 100 servings = 1,000mg dose.

If you're here you must know at least some of the benefits of taking NMN:The levels of NAD+ in our bodies have a say in how fast we age. Younger bodies, more NAD, we function better. You get older, your NAD levels take a dive. NMN has been able to suppress age-associated weight gain, enhance energy metabolism and physical activity, improve insulin sensitivity, improve eye function, improve mitochondrial metabolism and prevent age-linked changes in gene expressionIt's a longer list than that. The research is out there. Actual papers too. The stuff is fascinating and so I've been looking forward to trying some. I've tested other brands before and this is the first one where I can say without a doubt, I absolutely feel a differencePerhaps it's all the other NMN I've tested though I did cycle off of them before mixing this into shakes. It might be a placebo affect but I feel I'm able to recover much faster after workouts now, need less NSAID's and even sleep betterI credit this massive tub with it. Really appreciate the brand showing off their COA in the photos too. I'm feeling great taking this stuff, I've no doubt you will too

I don't know what I can say about any anti-aging effects but I can say that since I've been using NMN supplements, I definitely notice an energy improvement on days with it compared to without. I don't think it's psychosomatic but who knows, usually if it doesn't have an effect I don't experience one. It's not an ENORMOUS change but a general increase.I would suggest that you don't need the full 1g dosage from this per use, 200-500mg has been plenty for me and stretches it out as this stuff is really quite expensive.I've not noticed any taste from it, but I'm mixing it with stuff that has its own flavor.Beyond that, what can you really say about supplements? People like to make grandiose claims of how it changed their life but in my experience the benefits are often subtle and take a little bit to fully manifest, and when there's a negative impact, THAT hits you right away. I'm not experiencing anything negative and I am noticing positives.

The powdered supplement comes with its own little measuring spoon inside.Taste is ok and drinkable.Great to mix with my morning shake in a blender.
