Re: Forum Survey: Will you microdose aducan?

Yes, I would microdose - but I doubt it will be feasible because for me the price of the drug (assuming it is accepted) will be many thousands of dollars per year, and I doubt insurance will cover it. I would argue that that kind of money if directed towards supplements and lifestyle interventions c...

Re: High Sn-2 DHA for Brain Benefits crossing BBB

Also Spring Valley Algal-900 DHA Softgels (450 mg DHA per pill) contain Schizochytrium sp. It should be also mentioned that the Dr. Yassine's trial of DHA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32690472/ discussed on Peter Attia's podcast, used 2.1 g of algal DHA daily. In that trial, after 6 months, leve...

Re: Alzheimer's Blood Tests: Big Breakthroughs in 2020

The report cites $1200 price tag. But does anyone know if this test is already available commercially from Quest, Labcorp or another company?

Re: Does Black Coffee Break a Fast?

Very interesting info, thanks Tincup and floramaria. There is also an interesting recent video from Dr. Nadir Ali presenting arguments that caffeine increases fat burning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqKW3FJr6ps&t=615s&ab_channel=nadirmirali and also that fasting + caffeine + exercise is...

Re: Celebration Thread! Homotaurine/Tramiprosate supplement

I don't see much effect on BP from taurine 2g am and pm. We have been taking it for about 3 months. I found out that there was "A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Effects of Taurine Supplementation on Cognitive Function in Patients With Diabetes" https:...

Re: Celebration Thread! Homotaurine/Tramiprosate supplement

rrmolo, that's very interesting - how much taurine have you been taking, and for how long?

Me and my wife are taking 2g x 2 daily. Thinking now about adding homotaurine.

Re: Celebration Thread! Homotaurine/Tramiprosate supplement

Thanks, J11! This thread reads now like a reference for all things homotaurine.

I think I am going to give it a try, even before it is approved by the FDA .

Re: Celebration Thread! Homotaurine/Tramiprosate supplement

Thanks for the reply, J11. Very encouraging. I can imagine that the big pharma companies are not very interested in testing the inexpensive, unpatentable products such as homotaurine or methylene blue. Do you happen to know why homotaurine is not being sold by US supplement producers? The only distr...

Re: Celebration Thread! Homotaurine/Tramiprosate supplement

That's really very exciting, J11,! Thanks for posting it. Immediately, questions come to my mind: 1) The dose used was 150 mg twice per day, i.e. 300 mg per day. I see at least one commercially available homotaurine supplement: https://us.supersmart.com/article.pl?id=0661 It costs $17 per 3,000 mg, ...
