Summary
The person said they were sensitive. A low-dose NMN supplement brought a gradual improvement in baseline energy and fewer crashes after a few weeks, though it was not dramatic and felt like steady support rather than a treatment-level effect. What they ordered from ModaMike later helped them stay awake through afternoon classes, but they still had to force themselves to start homework.
