Your questions on tiredness and fatigue have been answered by Dr Dweck, Tru Niagen's expert

[JustineBMumsnet]

Juggling the demands of parenthood has become even more key during lockdown, with many managing to work a full time job from home, home educate their child and keep on top of the housework. It’s no surprise if wellness has fallen by the wayside and tiredness has crept up on you. To celebrate the release of Tru Niagen in the UK, Tru Niagen have provided Dr. Alyssa Dweck, to help answer your questions about tiredness or fatigue.

Here’s what Tru Niagen has to say: “As parents juggle the energetic demands of child-rearing and education in quarantine, many are unaware that they may benefit from an added supply of one essential molecule–NAD+. Tru Niagen® is clinically proven to generate NAD+. Newly launched in the UK, this star supplement promotes health at the cellular level. Tru Niagen® is thoroughly studied. Its sole active ingredient, nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCI) is a powerful NAD+ precursor that has been validated by 9 clinical trials. Tru Niagen® contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and supports normal psychological and nervous system functioning. Tru Niagen® also contributes to a normal, energy-yielding metabolism.”

Hmm. How bizarre to link to incomplete studies with no results.

As a medical doctor what made you confident enough in this product to gamble your professional reputation on it and perhaps even more pertinently recommend it to your patients if it hasn’t undergone proper trials published and peer reviewed?

Is it normal to recommend supplements from a company you’re employed by to your medical patients?

@MNHQ I think you have really made a bad judgement call here

I echo the concerns of other posters.

It comes across as some mlm type product but aimed at fatigue instead of weight loss and smelly candles.

And I don't want to be entered into the draw btw.

This sounds.. scamtastic

I'm probably a bit reliant on caffeine and could eat a bit better. I have an underactive thyroid but its well managed. Was also anemic but getting slowly better. However my main problem is broken sleep. A baby who is up in the night and a toddler who thinks morning time is when its light🙈
I feel when I do sleep my quality of sleep is pretty good but Im probably just not getting enough. Can this supplement really help?

How does it work?

Thanks guys, I'm a tad gullible re anything to do feeling less exhausted!

MNHQ - it doesn't sound like there's much (if anything) backing these claims up!

Where are the completed peer reviewed published studies about your spec if supplement?
Can you make similar claims about it’s efficacy in the EU?

As a long-standing sufferer of M.E, I've seen close on a hundred "miracle cure" drugs purporting to alleviate my fatigue levels, yet when these drugs are tried on an extensive patient level they fall flat. The prices of these "wonder drugs" is never cheap either. Hence I'm exceedingly sceptical about these kinds of drugs.

Please, sell it to me.

Eating more vegetables and a plant-based diet makes me feel more energised. Do you think there's anything in it?

Oh dear @mnhq Things can't be this bad! Selling snake oil?

I would like to know what the truth is around 'sleep debt'. Is it really a thing and what period would it be calculated over? I often only get around 5 hrs a night during the week, but around 9 hrs at the weekend. Does it average out in terms of how the lack of sleep most nights affects my health?

No. It’s a rip off/word play on the oxygen debt which is a real outcome of anaerobic respiration.

Why does having a lie in make me feel more tired??

why do you think that so many females who visit the GP about tiredness are dismissed so easily?

What foods should I AVOID eating (if any) to reduce fatigue? I mostly follow a vegetarian diet.

MNHQ I think you've made an error of judgement here.

I've been more tired in lockdown. Would this supliment help?

I want to know why even if I seem to have a decent amount of sleep I still feel so tired the next day? I dream all night, and they're very vivid at the moment. I've been using meditation apps or sleep stories to send me off to sleep too. But I still wake and don't feel refreshed.

Is it true you can sleep too much?

I have hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine puts me into the ‘normal range’ but I’ve never had that breakthrough now I feel normal again experience that many with my condition describe when their thyroid levels are balanced.

I’m still really tired. I’ve tried sea kelp and other supplements and already take b complex on top of a multivitamin and minerals supplement.

What would you recommend?

Do different people need different amounts if sleep? Is there an optimum amount. I find I only seem to sleep for 7-8 hours. But I do quite often feel tired in the day. Do I need more sleep?

I suffer very heavy periods, and am extremely tired on the onset and for a few days after, I take iron supplements, is there anything which will help the tiredness and my iron levels without relying on supplements

When a woman becomes perimenopausal and then menopausal how does her need for vitamins and minerals change to combat tiredness and fatigue?
