I wonder if IdealLabs would be affected at all by anything RFK Jr does

@Jakeandpace Yes, I drink coffee pretty much daily but it doesn't give me that sudden boost that Redbull used to. I do feel smarter on days when I drink a lot of coffee and milk though.

I got flushing from Niacinamide pills when I first tried when out so either I got a bad supp or took too much or am just sensitive to flushing from them. I think it was 250mg so maybe too much.

Citric acid is definitely inflammatory for me in general. I used to rationalise my excessive Redbull use by thinking that the magnesium carbonate somehow neutralised the citric acid but now I just avoid citric acid altogether and feel better for it.

@Jakeandpace Redbull gives me flushing if I take more than one. I think the flushing can have detrimental effects.

I said in another thread but I used to love drinking Redbulls and had a pretty strong reliance on them for that dopamine hit you talked about. I eventually realised my overconsumption of them was harming me though, I think the citric acid and the niacin causes like an allergic flush reaction.

I got awful Psoriasis from Redbulls after a while and nothing I tried to help it from a bioenergetic approach was working until I eventually stopped Redbulls entirely and it gradually cleared up completely. It was affecting me for a year.

I was of the assumption that ashwagandha increased nitric oxide and potentially cortisol?

@ilnyarienàfaire On dreams, I think Kilgore is right. I typically have a lot of dreams and feel unrested from them. I almost always oversleep because I am so fatigued from my dreams that I feel too groggy to get up and just go back into the dreams, if that makes sense?

I've noticed that when I do sleep and don't have dreams (or at least don't conciously process I've had them) I feel A LOT more rested when I wake up and waking is a lot easier. I wish I could give advice as to how to dream less but this is my current biggest problem for myself also.

@Pooooop high in fructose

@Chud Did you increase calories when using it?

Do not use aluminium sulfate please

I would take aspirin and wait a while longer to see what happens. I would. Could be awful advice but it's what I'd do.

@sneedful The thing is I don't think that sort of escalation is impossible but panic posting about it is not helping. Unless he is inviting us all round his place for tacos?
