First, I feel as vital as ever, just taking one lipo nmn and one lipo apigenin. I wish I could continue it, but becoming a bit paranoid of my nad+ being too high at 43. Its harder to sleep (I've doubled on the melatonin). My fertility and libido and energy are way up (I mean, not to get too graphic, but is it normal for a 43 year old man to want sex twice to three times a day? even a healthy one). Really I wish I could continue it but at times I feel a little too supercharged. And its still unknown how operating at tip top nad+ affects everything. I might go down to just the lipo apigenin and maybe a scoop of the powder 250.
Firstly we are all different so how we respond to any supplement can be varied, I would be very surprised if you could have "NAD+ too high" on 250mg NMN + 35mg of Apigenin per day. I have not had the same issues that you are having with much higher doses, I can report no one else that I know off, in fact someone on the forum a while ago posted the opposite with reduced libdo!
Apigenin is not just about NAD+ as a reminder it is one of the active ingredients in Camomile tea which is noted as helping sleep! As an experiment over the last few days (inspired after that email from RBS) I have been popping 2 x LIPO Apigenin 2 hrs before sleep - results to far..I have slept better almost immediately, noting deeper much better sleep, on one my day off so far not as good...but that is how I "feel" as I have no sleep tacking data. Only started, and giving it a couple of weeks.
In my case the initial response to boosting NAD+ with NMN and NAD+ sublingual was a few short vertigo episodes, a friend as an example stomach pains, another friend broke out into a rash, at one stage I thought (and they) not compatible so can't take it - but at the same time like yourself (and my friends) all felt a little "supercharged". I stuck with it and so did they with a short break. I personally was then at a 500mg NMN SL dose 7 days a week for a year, now (today) at 3 years of boosting NAD+ on 2 x NAD+ Complete LIPO, 1 x NMN LIPO = so 850mg of active ingredient as a base 6 days a week. Oh, 35mg to 105mg of Apigenin and feel great
In your case its a libido side affect - there are worse, you do not want vertigo
So take NMN in the morning, then Apigenin 2hr before sleep would be my suggestion to try to split the dose. Also do not ramp it up until you have gotten used to it. We are all different and respond differently as our bodies have more available NAD+ available to now "get onto the backlog" so to speak. Take a day or 2 off as well, most of us on this forum do.
