This was a very interesting read for me. I’m generally interested in health products and supplements. And I also want to shed some extra weight and feel more energetic. So this was new and useful information for me. Thank you for sharing, Justin!
I got in touch with ChromaDex via email and asked if they could deliver to Sweden. They said they could, but they didn't guarantee it wouldn't get confiscated by the customs. And the shipment fee was $50, plus I would have to pay Swedish VAT on top of the product's price. So in the end it was just too uncertain and expensive to order from them directly.
I asked around in Swedish health stores, but none of them had Nicotinamide Riboside (aka NR, aka Niagen, aka NiaCel – depending on how different manufacturers chose to brand it) on shelves. But at least they confirmed that it exists in Sweden and is available to Swedish customers.
So in the end I compared prices offered by different online stores in Sweden and found one that was selling an analogous product for almost half the price compared to other web shops. I ordered a pack with 60 capsules, which should last for one month, taking it twice a day (it has the dosage of 125 mg NR per capsule, same as TruNiagen). I paid about $50 for it in total, including delivery. It should arrive within a week’s time and I'm eager to test it and see if I’ll feel any noticeable effects right away or if it’ll be more of a long-term positive health effect.
Once again, thank you for sharing tips for healthy living with your followers!
Wow, this seems to have really interested you for you to do so much looking around for them.
I have only been taking the pills for a few days, but my lower back pain is noticeably lower.
My NiaCel arrived today. The ingredients seem identical to TruNiagen (no wonder here, since Thorne Research licensed the formula from ChromaDex in the past). I’m eager to start testing the product, starting tonight. Will keep you posted about any observable effects. :))
