Why I Take TRU NIAGEN Every Morning

This post is sponsored as part of a partnership between The Grateful Gardenia and ChromaDex. All opinions are my own, and, yes I take TRU NIAGEN® every morning.

I spent many years as an actress, and after a long hiatus from film and television, I’m excited to return to work in a brand-new role. I’d like to share with you how TRU NIAGEN was tremendously helpful in keeping me energized on set. Here are three ways this incredible supplement has helped keep me at the top of my game.

1. Increased Cellular Energy Levels

I have been taking TRU NIAGEN since June 2018, and the first thing I noticed was a difference in my energy levels. My new recent project required night shoots, which often meant I would be working until 2:30 am. Honestly, I haven’t stayed up that late in years!

So how does TRU NIAGEN work? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential coenzyme that your body naturally produces. Your cells rely on NAD to help them generate energy. TRU NIAGEN is clinically proven to safely and effectively increase your NAD, to help your cells produce the energy you need...without relying on caffeine.

2. Cellular Health Support, Day and Night

Remember what I said about those crazy schedules? When you’re living the #setlife, it’s not uncommon to work until the wee hours, try to catch a few ZZZs whenever and wherever you can—then start all over again the next day. It can really mess with your circadian rhythms.

NAD helps regulate circadian rhythms at the molecular level by providing feedback between circadian activities and your body’s internal clock…a mechanism that starts to suffer when you’re doing a hard day’s work through the night. TRU NIAGEN helped me wake up feeling more energized, regardless of what time of night (or morning) we wrapped.

3. Maintaining Health Under Metabolic Stress

We all want to do our best at work, no matter how old we are. But to be honest, I was a bit concerned when I saw our shooting schedule—especially since I was returning to the screen after a long break! It’s hard to know how your body will react. What’s more, our NAD levels can decrease by up to 50% between the ages of 40 and 60. And when our NAD levels are low, our cells have a harder time producing the energy they need to maintain health as we age.

I was concerned that this project’s late nights, long hours and irregular meals would put additional metabolic stress on my body—stress that would keep my body from functioning at peak performance. But with TRU NIAGEN on my team, I have been able to support my metabolic health throughout the process!

I’m so grateful to have found this wonderful supplement, and will continue to make it part of my everyday health maintenance regimen. Stay tuned for more details on this independent comedy television series “Everyone Is Doing Great.”
