You might want to research Nicotinamide Riboside. I started taking it to see if it would help with painful inflammation in my hands, wrists, and knees and noticed that when I take it, not only is inflammation improved, but my sleep improved (I track with an Oura ring) and I can concentrate for longer periods of time.

Might all be placebo effect, but I’m okay with that. My doctor seems to think that’s probably the case.

FWIW, I’m 20 years older than you.

It is a shame that NR is quite an expensive placebo, though. I've found similar results, but I have zero faith in it being some sort of anti aging agent in humans.

I think it is costing me less than $2 / day. In the world of supplements, it's not that much.

NMN is cheaper, and better than NR
