Having been quite inconsistent with supplement use in the past, I started a two month NAD course with the sole purpose of writing about the experience. No expectations.
However, having tried some heavily flavored liquid marine collagen sachets in the past, my main motivation for deciding to try these tablets was the promise of younger-looking skin without the daily struggle of having a bitter taste in my mouth right before breakfast.
I chose NAD+ Enhanced Optima Max, a concentrated dose of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a molecule that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, especially cellular energy production.
In pop culture terms, NAD IV therapy is (in part) credited with keeping Hailey and Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna and Cindy Crawford young and fabulous.
In fact, in a previous episode of The Kardashians, Hailey and Kendall can be seen undergoing IV therapy, while the former declared, “I’m going to NAD for the rest of my life and I’ll never age.”
That alone might have been convincing enough for most to try these supplements, but what really sold them to me was the idea of improving energy levels and brain function while reducing the signs of aging.
When I started using NAD+, I immediately noticed an increase in my energy levels, which led to feeling more productive and taking on new activities and work challenges.
It had been a really busy time for me with lots of lifestyle changes and work related burnout, so to find something that helped calm me down so quickly was unexpected and felt almost unreal.
At the same time, I noticed the often touted effect of such supplements: my skin looked healthier and more “glowing”, and the plumpness I had lost after losing weight returned.
My hair, which was previously bleached and looked damaged, looked shiny and felt much softer again.
Overall, there didn’t seem to be any downsides to trying these supplements, as the high price point was more than justified by the results.
For those who want to try NADclinic’s Optima Max supplements, a month’s supply can be purchased from nadirect.com for £79.99.
However, there are other options on the market at different price points and they are available from a number of websites, including Amazon, which sells the Charava NAD+ for £63.99.
