NMN + Erinamax = Why did I get a massive energy boost from both?

For some context, I've taken nicotinamide and Erinamax on their own separately for multiple months and basically just saw a mood boost from each one.
Stopped the nicotinamide for a while I've been taking Erinamax now for about five months and seeing better verbal fluency and dreaming in general.
Took the NMN for the first time in a while today in the morning, and felt a slight mood boost. Nothing too crazy.
Then 30 minutes later I took my usual Erinamax, and for some reason I just have the energy now to bash my head through a wall and run like 3 miles.
Why did this happen? I didn't expect this to happen, and this has never happened with taking any of them individually.

It's the enteric-coated tablets of nicotinamide. It's weird because I never noticed necessarily an energy boost from it, but today this happened!

Yep, the enteric coated ones are the strongest. Also, they are not stimulating on their own. It's usually dependent on other stuff in your stack. It's just our enteric NMN delivers a lot more through the Slc12a8 transporter, so you get more rapid increases in NAD+ production. Pair that with something else that stimulates you, and it can become pretty noticeable. Usually it will be when I am taking things that hit AMPK and have MAOI activity at the same time.
