I Took The Anti-Aging Pill TRU Niagen & Here Is What I Think.

About three months ago I first started taking TRU Niagen. What did I find out?

I am currently 37 years old and I think it is safe to say that I don't feel as I did when I was 27. So when I came across a company called Chromadex and their product, TRU Niagen, I was intrigued as some people claim it makes you feel 10 years younger. The reviews I read, while somewhat mixed, were heavily tilted in favor of this pill.

Before we get any further I must tell you that I am not making any money from this article but I do own a few shares of the company.

My little experiment was not scientific and I have no way of actually measuring any changes, so all this is anecdotal.

What does TRU Niagen do? Basically, it gives your body 'NR' (nicotinamide riboside) which causes your body to make NAD+. NAD+ has been shown to give a multitude of positive effects. Also, NAD+ levels decrease with age.

To see if this pill was worth taking, I decided to try it as directed for one month. I knew how I had been feeling without it, so I could see if I felt any different. I didn't change my diet or exercise routines. I tried my best to be neutral about the whole process as to lessen any placebo effect.

The directions say to take one pill in the morning and one at night, so I did.

For about 3 or 4 days I didn't feel any different. Some say they slept better, but I wasn't getting many hours of sleep due to my own side-hustle efforts. Still, I think there was a small positive improvement in the sleep I did get.

Same for my energy levels. I can't say for sure, but there was probably a small improvement there as well.

What really changed for me was the total disappearance of small aches and pains, especially those in my lower back. Activities that would normally cause me to groan like an old man did not do so. It certainly appears that TRU Niagen worked in that regard.

After The First Month.

One bottle is 60 pills and so lasts 30 days as directed.

As I am 37, I am not too old so would half a dose give me much or any benefit?

I tried to answer that by taking just one pill per day for two months. The answer I came up with was that the benefit was greatly reduced.

At first, I could start to feel aches and pains in my lower back again, although somewhat reduced from the times before TRU Niagen. But as time passed the aches and pains returned to about my 'normal' levels.

I guess at first I had a larger amount of NAD in my body since I was following the full dosage amount but I lost it as time passed and one pill was not enough.

My Personal Thoughts About TRU Niagen

It works. It took away my common aches and pains. It might have helped in other areas too, but it certainly took away my lower back pains. But only if I took the pill twice per day as directed.

Now I am only 37 and what I gleaned from the personal reviews is that the older you are, the more you will feel a positive effect from TRU Niagen.

There are studies that show TRU Niagen lengthens the lifespan of mice.

So why not grab a bottle or two and see if you feel any better after taking it for a few weeks? At worst, you are out a few bucks. At best, you have increased your quality of life (and maybe prolonged it).
