Susceptible to degradation from light, moisture, and temperature; may degrade in the stomach
|
Stable, as it bypasses environmental factors
|
Requires enzymatic conversion from precursors like NAM and NA to convert to NAD+
|
Directly provides NAD+ without conversion
|
Slower due to digestive process and conversion
|
Immediate uptake into the bloodstream
|
Some precursors like NMN face regulatory challenges
|
Direct NAD+ administration without precursors
|
For regular maintenance and gradual improvement
|
Ideal for immediate, significant NAD+ boost
|
Convenient, self-administered orally, lower impact
|
Requires professional administration in a clinical setting, higher impact
