“Dose Group 1 (KD1) was treated with 3.33 ml/kgBB lemon juice”

Effective HED is roughly half an ounce

@sunsunsun first synergy of this thread

I kind of hate this study.

"Conclusion: Lemon juice (Citrus limon) in precise dose has a beneficial effect to reduce the excitotoxic effect of MSG."

Precise dose?

@alfredoolivas What does effective HED mean?

Half an ounce = 0.93 tablespoons = 5.3 mg of vitamin C

I have been taking 4 grams of vitamin C daily for half a year now. I have just returned from a walk where I noticed that the blackberry season has started, so I enjoyed consuming a lot of phytochemicals (as also mentioned in the study abstract).

Regardless of HED, I am probably well past the critical point for optimal number of pyramidal cells.

I definitely do not want to visit any Indonesian restaurants today.

@Ena estimated effective human equivalent dose. It’s okay to hate studies, I hate many too :))

Just 1mg of oral pregnenolone induced sleep changes in this study, according to the authors

“P increased the amount of time spent in slow wave sleep and depressed EEG sigma power”

I would like to compare it to the night before, it’s a poorly designed study. Perhaps the P group just have more slow wave sleep etc via chance
