Most of the questions we get are practical rather than scientific. Here are the answers in one place.
How much
Follow the serving size on the label of the product you actually bought — formulations differ enough that a number from another brand's bottle is not transferable.
For Core Compounds Liposomal NAD+, a serving is 2 capsules. One bottle is 60 capsules, a 30-day supply.
More is not better here. The limiting factor is how much your cells can put to use, not how much you swallow.
When
Take it daily, with water, preferably with a meal. Fat in the meal is helpful for a liposomal formulation, because the phospholipid carrier is handled alongside dietary fats.
Most people take it in the morning, largely because it is easier to remember. There is no strong reason it has to be morning — the best time is the one you will still be doing in eight weeks.
With or without other supplements
In most cases it is fine alongside a general multivitamin or omega-3. If you take prescription medication, have a medical condition, or are pregnant or nursing, check with your healthcare professional before adding anything — that is not a legal formality, it is the sensible thing to do.
Can you take NAD+ and NMN together?
Yes, and it is a reasonable thing to do. NAD+ supplies the coenzyme directly; NMN supplies the precursor your body converts into it. They support the same system from two directions rather than duplicating each other.
How long before anything happens
This is where we would rather be useful than optimistic.
Results vary considerably from person to person. Some people report noticing a change in their energy through the day within a few weeks. Others take it consistently for longer and would struggle to point at a specific moment where something shifted.
Give it a fair trial — at least one full bottle, taken consistently — before you judge it. A supplement taken four days out of seven is not really being tested.
What a realistic expectation looks like
Not a jolt. There is no stimulant in this. If a product in this category makes you feel something sharply within an hour, look at the label for caffeine.
What people in our reviews most often describe is the back half of the day feeling less like a climb, and a routine they keep up. That is a modest claim and it is deliberately a modest claim.
Side effects
NAD+ supplements are generally well tolerated. If anything feels off, stop taking it and speak to your healthcare professional. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, or take medication, consult them before you start.
If it is not for you
Every Core Compounds order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact support within 30 days of delivery and we will refund it. We would rather do that than have you finish a bottle you did not want.
