Someone linked in the comments where to buy this pill.

It has only 2 ingredients.
Nicotinamide Riboside 250mg
Pterostilbene 50mg
All this for $60 per month!
Should we not build our own?
pTerostilbene I found 3 different options for.
Bulk - 100 grams - $81.50 ( 2000, 50 mg doses )
- 200 grams - $146.70 ( 4000, 50 mg doses )

Caps - 60 caps, 50 mg - $14.69

Caps - 100 Caps, 100 mg - $14.99

So then the next question is how much should Nicotinamide Riboside actually cost?
What they were answering

Here's the first thing I saw on a fluff site: "Over the past two years, ChromaDex has built a significant patent portfolio pertaining to NR by separately acquiring patent rights from Cornell University, Dartmouth College and Washington University. ChromaDex believes its patent rights create a significant and meaningful barrier to entry for would-be competitors in the NR market."
It would be nice to track down something less vague. :/

Ohh, well if that is the case, it might have some validity. I know Cornell and Dartmouth had some cool Nicotinamide Riboside research. If Chromadex is just purchasing that IP from them, then it's possible they have a working proprietary method.
That still begs the question: why do I feel nothing from it? Perhaps it's just my brain chemistry. However, it is certainly not the insane breakthrough they are claiming to have. I feel Pyritinol 100 times more than Nicotinamide Riboside. Maybe my brain just likes B6 more than B3...
