TRU NIAGEN – Vitamin B3 | Advanced NAD Plus Booster | Nicotinamide Riboside NR | Increases Energy & Promotes Anti Aging

★★★★★ i recently started taking this product to improve my energy levels for the most part. i'm 42, exercise often, eat well, but always feel like im lacking energy especially before my workouts. i'm not sure how tru niagen exactly works but i can tell you that i've noticed a real difference in my energy levels. i sleep better and therefore more rested during the day. i'm not sure if it's related or not, but i've also been feeling much happier and just overall in better mood. i don't take any other vitamins or pills so this was the only change in my daily diet and routine.i did some basic research and everything points to this being a real thing. this company seems to have all of the scientific research and community behind it.

★★★★★ I've been taking the NAD+ supplement for over a month and have noticed several welcome changes. The biggest is related to my appetite. I don't have the cravings for sweets I normally do and I'm eating more healthy foods. My digestion, sleep, concentration, and overall stamina have also improved. I'm extremely pleased with the results.

★★★★★ Buy this and Pterostilbene, and you are buying the same ingredients found in Elysium Health Basis. TRU Niagen is made by ChromaDex, the company devoted to research on Nicotinamide riboside (aka NR, aka Niagen) since 2013.Elysium Health used to purchase NR from ChromaDex, but they have recently started to make their own or purchase it from an unknown source. Questions have been raised about Elysium's unethical business practices, deceiving marketing tactics, and the quality of their ingredients. ChromaDex is a much more trusted source for NR.You may want to take TRU Niagen without adding pterostilbene. See comments below that reference a 2012 study which showed pterostilbene may increase LDL cholesterol.

★★★☆☆ While this appears similar to The Virgin Diet All-in-One Shake, there is actually a Thorne research product better than both. I purchased and compared all three products (Virgin Diet All-In-One-Shake, Thorne Research All-In-One Shake, and Thorne Research VegaLite).Comparisons:#1 You get the same amount of protein in ONE level scoop of VegaLite (21g) as you do in TWO scoops of All-In-One (22g)#2 More carbs! The All-In-One has more carbs (14g) compared to the VegaLite (5g)#3 More fiber! The All-In-One has more fiber (6g) compared to the VegaLite (0g)#4 Less sodium! The All-In-One has less sodium (350mg) compared to VegaLite (420mg)#5 Taste: both products taste the same. Pea powder with a chocolate flavoring is my best description. You'll get used to it.The All-In-One is good if you are looking for fiber and less sodium. The VegaLite is good if you want to save money, you'll need HALF the amount that you need to use with All-In-One. Therefore, you'll need to reorder All-In-One twice as often. If you do not have Amazon Prime then you are also paying shipping costs, an added expense.My recommendation is the Thorne Research VegaLite Chocolate flavor. When I drink the VegaLite (my preference over the All-In-One-Shake) I use two scoops VegaLite, 2 Tbsp. PB2 Powdered Chocolate Peanut Butter 2 and flaxseed for fiber. My result is that I get 47g protein and 10g carbs in each drink. I'm following the JJ Virgin elimination diet (no gluten, dairy, soy, etc) along with high protein, low carb eating. I mix this together using the Blender Bottle, for a meal replacement.

★★★★★ I compaired the ingredence to JJ Virgin"s shake and it is identical. So for those of you, like myself, that are on her fabulous diet, this is good to know. Shipping is much faster ( three days, not 10) and about $6.00 less for shipping. A win-win!

★★★★★ I love all three of these shakes (they are just barely different by a few milligrams of one ingredient each!), so I just buy whichever one is cheaper at the time. Since I can get Thorne sent free by Amazon Prime, I usually buy this one. I like chocolate, so I always get that flavor. Mixed with fruit, ice, coconut milk, flax and this mix, mixed up in my Vitamix mixer....it is like a delicious smoothie treat. The Vitamix (highly, highly recommended) is essential for making the version I drink the most...banana, flax, ice, coconut milk, kale, cilantro, and this mix. It comes out so creamy and smooth, just delicious to drink, and it keeps me full for about 4 hours.**UPDATE: Since I bought this in April the price of the Thorne Shake has increased $8...what's up with that? Possibly big complaints from JJ Virgin and Sara Gottfried that they were being undercut $9-10 by the manufacturer of their shakes? I'm sorry for us consumers to see this "price fixing".
