@mostlylurking Yes bro Im asking not saying. I dont think TTFD has any benefit over benfo or HCL thats why I asked. And sulbutiamine I have mixed feelings its good but it also has some stimulant effect thats hard to fall asleep
TTFD has benefits over other types of thiamine and it also has downsides. It gets into the system more efficiently. Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, Dr. Chandler Marrs, and Elliot Overton all prefer to recommend TTFD and they have legitimate reasons to do so. However, TTFD uses glutathione to work which is a big problem if you are low in glutathione which can be caused by high oxidative stress.
The experts talk about the "paradoxical" reaction some people experience when taking TTFD and they encourage just "powering through" the negative effects (sometimes it takes months). In contrast, Dr. Costantini stated that people should not have ANY negative symptoms from taking thiamine hcl and if someone does have a negative reaction, he believed that the cause is too high a dose. He would stop the treatment for a week or so, then invite the patient to resume treatment at half the original dose. I got a headache that lasted 36 hours from a single 100mg capsule of TTFD. So I chose to stick with thiamine hcl and follow Dr. Costantini's protocol.
I personally prefer thiamine hcl. But others prefer TTFD; my husband takes TTFD, 200mg/day and has never experienced a negative effect from it.
