My experience with ND’s NMN
Original post in this thread

I bought nootropics depot nmn
capsules excited to try them. I’ve had great experience with NMN before, using powder for a few months.
Unfortunately my body is unable to break through the thick coating of the pills and they pass right through me, out in my stool. This has happened each time I take them, I’ve decided I will likely switch back to the powder.
Is anyone else facing this issue? Thanks

Yes full tablets in my poop. I took around 5 that morning and for sure saw two (I did not dig for more lol)
I may have GI issues that I’ve never addressed. Lots of morning discomfort.
It’s Worth making a doc appointment. I’ll keep this post updated in a week or two.

Absolutely see a doctor about it. Have you tried any of our regular tablets to see if that happens with those, or just the enteric coated ones so far?
The way the enteric coating works is that it stays stable in acidic environments, and then dissolves in neutral ones. Your system gets less acidic the further it gets away from your stomach. Your small intestine should be a neutral pH. However, if you have an issue where acid is traveling further down your intestines, that might be lowering the pH in the small intestine. This could be preventing the enteric coating from dissolving there. This would also be causing other issues for you, like pain/discomfort and probably issues absorbing certain nutrients.
