Which NAD booster works the best? Nicinotinamide riboside (NR), Nicotinic mononucleotide (NMN) or NAD+? Patients report a 50% boost in baseline energy using NAD boosters with D-ribose. They work by increasing your energy production capacity for metabolism.

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) vs. Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) - Which One is Better? (liftmode.com)

"NR elevates mouse hepatic NAD+ with distinct and superior pharmacokinetics to those of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide." Nicotinamide riboside is uniquely and orally bioavailable in mice and humans - PubMed (nih.gov)

Judging from this link NAD+ (NAD3) works the best. It says research shows it is 50% more effective.

Real NAD3 (trynad3.com)

Energy Support: NAD3 - NAD+ Booster (puritan.com)

As a disabled person on fixed income though cost is a major consideration. I'll stick to NR until NAD3 becomes available in bulk. Here's my NR bulk source.

I tried every precursos as well as high dosed NAD+ injections.
The only thing that worked for me (from 20-22hours bedbound to 14 hours for 2.5 months) was NADH injections. Then pooped out.

NR did nothing
NMN did nothing
NAM did nothing

all tested in up to very high dosages over several months.
