I've been taking Niagen for a couple of months, and I can say that for me it feels much better than niacin or niacinamide. I don't know why (perhaps I have some niacin metabolism problem, or the niacin interferes with some other impaired process such as the methylation cycle).

Also there seems to be some synergy between Niagen and resveratrol and pterostilbene that I can clearly notice. Foods that work well with Niagen are raisin(-bread) and olive oil. Of course, ymmv.

That's interesting. Glad that you are experimenting! Everyone is so different that experimenting is the only way to find out what works and what doesn't for anyone :). Just curious, what other supplements did you find working out for you?

When a doctor's visit leads to a dead end, then yes, I believe experimenting is probably the only option left.

I've taken a lot of supplements in the past, but at some point I found out that stomach acid and digestion were the problem.
