NMN ⇒ Pulse or Cycle NMN etc

[galway59]

Waiting for my NMN, Resveratrol and TMG supplements to arrive, so still planning my approach.

Is  there any benefit (other than obvious cost saving) to pulsing/cycling these supplements?  I ask because Dr David Sinclair seemed to support pulsing pretty generally as an approach to diet and exercise in a podcast I listened to, and so I wondered whether this approach (say, a day off per week, or week off after several weeks on) has any merit.

This is pretty much what I do with my exercise (3 weeks of progressive increases followed by a week of reduced volume; repeat).

A lot of us on the forum, myself included take two days off (pulsing) all supplements. I have the weekend off to make the routine easy.
Once every 3 months I take a full week off everything and in my view it gives the body a chance to totally reset... may or may not be beneficial but it is part of my protocol.

Well i am glad you answered NewAGE, because now i know what pulsing means! lol

I do the very same with my supplements. 2 days off per week. It stretches out your supply as well.

I take one day a week off with no supplements, but take an extra day off (so 2 days) for both Resveratrol and Pterostillbene.

I was wondering if some people would take both. I have considered it, and may do it.

I wonder if Pterostillbene is easier to store than Resveratrol.

I have been taking Pterostillbene for 18+ months with Resveratrol. I thought the combination at 790mg (so, 500mg Resveratrol capsule, 40mg Resveratrol in the  ABS LIPO NMN and 250mg Pterostillbene) would be better than Resveratrol alone at similar amounts.

I love Blueberries so why not get higher doses of the molecule that helps make them so special

I guess as far as NMN goes, one can pulse it at a higher dose certain days (for me, like 500 mg) and then back to normal 250 mg and also 2 days with nothing. especially if I anticipate high impact days ahead.

What would be the purpose of pulsing NMN?  Just asking as I think most people would want a sustained release.

I think some people are equating pulsing with taking a 1-2 day break from NMN to prevent homoeostasis.

[ChrisBON]

I also look at pulsing at taking a day without NMN or other supplements to prevent homeostasis.

But there have ben days when I had a rough night and a rough day in head, when i up my dose for the day considerably.
