Seeing as most will read ^^ I'll put my 2c here: In the article one professor says to just use NMN instead of injections. (6O GBP for 30 capsules). I also find it suspect the article doesn't talk about nicotinamide riboside (NR).

While I agree it's a superior strategy, it really is hard to start off. Many of us get over it in middle school, but some do not and it snowballs into deeper anxiety each time we put it off. I have figured out the secret for me is to r
