The New York Times article takes a hard look at the celebrity‑driven surge in N.A.D.+ supplements, pointing to recent studies that challenge the idea that taking a pill will dramatically extend life or reverse ageing. It highlights mixed data, small sample sizes, and the fact that most long‑term trials are still in early phases.

I’m not entirely convinced that the hype is justified. From my own experience with low‑dose NMN, I’ve felt a subtle lift in energy and a better sleep score, but nothing that looks like a miracle. The article is spot on about the need for bigger, longer‑term studies, but it glosses over the fact that dosage and formulation can vary wildly, which could explain why some people feel good and others see no change.

Does anyone else feel the difference with regular N.A.D.+ use, or are you still waiting for the evidence to catch up?
