NMN ⇒ Taking NMN for 6month or longer, has your strength increased?

[NewLifeScience]

I have been on NMN for about 3 years now. I recall hitting my sweet spot about 2.5 years ago, noticing my back and arms were much stronger and i had more stamina...

I am realising that this trend has continued and i am stronger and build muscle mass quite easily. I am not kidding. I built a small deck for my mom's house, which included manually augering 4 foot deep post holes - pulling the auger out with wet clay suction is quite a thing, and it's easy. I am 55 and my strength seems as good as it was when i was pretty heavily into weight lifting in my late 20s. My shoulders, arms and chest actually look like i am hitting the gym. 

Am i the only one?

I'm 56 and have been on NMN for 1 year and 8 months.  I'm more of an endurance athlete and I've noticed my endurance and fitness has improved to where I was in my early 30s.  I have pretty good records to compare to.  My only complaint is that I often push too hard and I get inflammation in my tendons.  Perhaps the muscles repair and improve much quicker than the tendons do.  A little time off and it all goes away.  I'm very happy with my physical improvements and weight loss so far.  I should add that a few months before I started on NMN I went to a plant-based diet.  I also started the Medical Medium protocol of lemon water, celery juice and a wild blueberry detox smoothy daily.  I'm sure my fitness improvement is due to both diet and the NMN supplement.  So far so good.  Comprehensive blood test this Saturday.  I can't wait to see the results.  I've come a long way in the last few years.

I am nearing 55 and on NMN (or NAD+ Boosters...mostly NMN) for over 3 years. My strength has increased and exercise feels easier (although it still sucks!) I am though doing a little more last 6 months as well.. but not that much more say a few extra push ups i.e. twice a week vs twice a month  

Not a big fan of exercise so try to get it while "having fun being social" (mnt biking, ski, climbs/walks, etc) or say maintaining the house so sweeping, pruning, cleaning, mowing, etc. I also do other things like say happy to walk so park at a distance, take stairs where ever I can, when on my own I run up em if I can, etc.

In saying not a fan of exercise I do have a water rower at home, I do 2km 3 times a week and built up to knock it off in approx 7m 30sec to 7m 50 sec. Going on it for nearly 5 years now. It is the best exercise in my view, works 80%+ of your muscles in one event, that can be completed in less than 8 min - now even I can do that, and do!  it still sucks..but at least its only 8m and I can watch TV while doing it.
 
On topic I noticed my muscle growth has slowly accelerated over the past 3 years on NMN, I can honestly say now that I have the most muscle on my body today than I have ever had before... so in my life, and fitter as well.

In answer To all you 55 year old Whipper Snappers regaining 20 year old stamina from NMN... It ain't That easy after 75. About that time I couldn't roll over and push up any more. Body mass strength was 1/2 what I knew in my 50's, max lift, 30 lbs. Just trying to adjust to every new ache, pain and restriction blindsiding you daily was a Full Time chore. I had never enjoyed exercise, still ate by taste and mood, by the clock, 3 times a day.
Bi-Phasal two - 4 hour sleep patterns evolved from too many nocturnal visits to the head. All in All I was ready for the rocker, and an exit soon afterwards.

But from the Fighter Pilot mindset of my past, I mentally wasn't ready, so I looked on the Net for stamina. Back then, Niacin was the new kid on the block, by Chromax, as a patent, and I had started playing Pickleball. I lost 25 lbs to 197, and felt some occasional burst of stamina, for a couple of years, adding 10-15 vitamins and supplements to an evolving Keto nutritional program. Then, Afterburners... AlivebyScience was offering NMN.

Now 5 years into this new LiFESPAN of patented, targeted products with NMN as the basis, I'm back to you guys, in my 50's. But not just like you, I
have the confidence I can hold this new found Lifestyle out my entire Lifespan.. maybe 20-30 more healthy, degenerative disease free years.
I have found the balance and harmony Dr. David Sinclair speaks of in the TRIAD needed to accomplish this. NMN, Plant Nutritional based diet, and Stress type exercise  3-4 times a week to breathlessness. So it's NOT just stronger, male focused results, it's becoming Fully Alive , with a sense of Well Being that in your daily life becomes the priority focus on your heart, mind, and purpose.

Come to think of it. Yes. I find myself lifting things now that i would have hesitated to 2 years ago. So a noticeable difference.

I’m putting more weights on my bench press. Where at my age I should be taking them off..

Hey there Mate have you had your hormones checked lately? I got mine done 3 mos ago and I was shocked to see my Testosterone registered at 52ng/dl. At my practice, we use a company called Biote and they specialize in bioidentical hormone pellets and they also carry a line of nutraceuticals. Ive had the pellets installed and man I feel so good. I forgot what Test feels like....Its awesome!

That’s a very low level mate with the recommended Testosterone range being 300 to 1000 ng/dl.
Have you ever been that low before and did you have any low level symptoms. My T levels can fluctuate also and If low I use a topical T cream.
The pellets are slow release and the way to go where the cream can be a little messy and you have to be a little careful about who you hug and who touches your clothes to a degree to avoid any cross contamination..
Lucky I’m antisocial. Lol
