I Tried It
HOW IT ALL STARTED.
This ad on Facebook caught my attention:
“In 2039, you’ll be glad you started taking this today.” It was an ad for Tru Niagen, and I was intrigued. Now in my 40s, I was starting to feel like, well, I was in my 40s. My knee hurt. My back caused me pain. I would be out of breath after running a quarter mile on the treadmill. I had mental clarity and energy issues that I just assumed was just what happens when you get older. So, I thought, why not give Tru Niagen a try and see what it does.
I literally had nothing to lose.
THE FIRST DAY.
I kid you not, I had a burst of energy and full-on mental clarity. It wasn’t that caffeinejittery type of alertness, but I felt like I was communicating and working like I remember doing in my 20s. I was able to problem-solve at the office, multitask, and even come up with brilliant new ideas to tack onto the list. Suddenly, my day didn’t feel overwhelming, but fulfilling. And dare I say, even fun. But, was this all placebo effect? To find out, I kept taking Tru Niagen.
I KEPT TAKING IT.
I religiously downed my two pills every morning with a large glass of water along with two MegaFood vitamin supplements (turmeric for whole body and a multi for men 40+). You know how, when gradual changes happen to you physically, you don’t really notice? But when you go away for several week and come home, everyone else does.
This is exactly what happened. I dropped a few pounds (I was less hungry and had more energy to work out), slimmed down in the face, depuffed overall, and my clothes felt baggier. I learned that one person even secretly told someone else, I think he had work done.
THREE MONTHS IN.
This little blue bottle has become a mainstay on my supplement tray. I take it everywhere with me. I feel (and people say I look) younger. I haven’t gotten sick once, and a chronic cough that flares up occasionally is long gone. The other day, I had a long drive home and realized I could belt out songs with ease (pitchy, but still). My lung strength had just improved. And, pardon me, but I use the bathroom like clockwork every morning.
IN 2039
Will I be thrilled I started taking Tru Niagen today? Heck, yeah.
