Symptoms to watch for

This supplement combination of Protein Powder and NMN is generally well-tolerated. Monitor for mild digestive effects during the first few days: stomach discomfort, nausea, or changes in bowel movements. Other symptoms to track: headache, changes in sleep quality, shifts in appetite, or mild skin reactions. These effects are usually temporary.
