Currently on a 5-on/2-off protocol of SS-31 4mg/day + MOTS-C 2mg/day. Honestly, I may have a marginal energy boost from this although it's a little tough to tell at the moment as I am also in my 7th week of a Reta cycle and the calorie deficit has my ass dragging. Introduced the SS-31 and MOTS-C around week 4 and the lethargy is about 70% gone so maybe this is an indicaiton that the MOTS-C/SS-31 are doing something.
From many of these threads, I see that when people add NAD+ (in sufficient amounts) to a protocol like this, typically, a clean energy surge kicks into gear. So I'm going ot give it a try. I could use a surge!!!
My question is around the NAD+ buffered vs non-buffered. My understanding is NAD+ is inherently acidic. Buffer can bring the ph up to a ~6 which makes these 100mg injections a bit more tollerable.
Some sites sell only buffered, some sell only non-buffered. Does anybody have any experience using both and do you see any significant differences in effecacy or administration?
