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.

FWIW - the latest batch I purchased works fantastically well. So, perhaps it was a one off thing. See my updated post.
Thanks for being so involved in the community and building such a great and transparent company.

Glad to hear it. It's the same batch, though. No new batches have been made yet. Could have just been a fluke with your system at the time. I have been using both batches back to back myself and have not noticed any differences, personally.
You noted a powdery surface on the one. Maybe it was just handled roughly during shipping, and that wore down the coating a bit due to friction? Mine were never powdery. They have been smooth the whole time, but I manually took them from the shelf. They didn't get banged around during shipping. Perhaps that is it.
