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.

This more or less always happens to me with NMN or OptiNAD regardless of what’s in my stack, I’ve dabbled off and on since you released them and my daily drivers have changed a lot over the years.
These days I take a quite high dose of methylated B12 & folate daily, plus Infini B maybe 4-5 days a week, 5-10g creatine daily, a wee bit of TMG and Betaine. Not so much glycine, so rarely some collagen or mag glycinate. Glutamine. A little taurine. DHM. D, K, zinc, C, a ton of magnesium. Cistanche. Hesperidin. Etc.

The hesperidin and black ginger are the ones that affect it with me. Both increase AMPK activity, which is the mechanism I have most narrowed it down to.
