NMN formulation change

Has anyone else noticed a difference in efficacy between the old NMN tablets (sized like a small cylinder) versus the new one (sized like a small disc)?
I thought it was placebo at first, but with the old NMN, I noticed a profound increase in energy and well being. With the new NMN (disc shape), I notice nothing.
Thinking I may be tricking myself, I experimented on my wife. When I give her the old NMN, her energy noticeably improved. When I give her the new one, no difference.
I’m curious if anyone else has had this experience. I know /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb has mentioned the enteric coating on the new NMN is superior, but I can’t help but notice my consistent, personal experience.
UPDATE (Feb 2022)
They must have gone through several iterations, because the magic is back on my latest purchase. I’ve seen 3 different tablets — the cylinder (original), a larger flat circle with a powdery exterior, and the most recent, a smaller circle with a smoother exterior.
The only version that didn’t work for me was the one with the powdery exterior. The newest version works GREAT, perhaps even better than the original.

They probably can’t apologize or recognize the issue though, that might create legal issues for them.

If there is an issue, I will always address it openly and honestly. I have set that expectation since I started the company. However, I have to have actionable validated data to do that. That can sometimes be difficult with anecdotes where we can't directly test the claims. We do attempt to get to the bottom of any situation with the methods and methodologies we have that can best answer the questions, though. This is what led to this reformulation, in fact. Now we are here with totally different claims. Maybe it was the reformulation. Maybe it is a mental thing with people's expectations things will be different because the tablets look so different. Maybe it is something completely different we have not found yet. Only getting some direct data will start pointing us in the right direction.
