No how could i? But there is always a reason for inflammation no?

all i can say is that energy is better on it with the downside of increased inflammation/accelerated aging.

Some symptoms are better, some are worse.
If it were acute sideffects i might consider pushing trough, if it is making existing issues worse then i have no reason to believe that "pushing trough" is the right course of action.

@happyhanneke

after 1,5 months i had to stop. my chronic inflammation symptoms got worse and worse.
I also cant tolerate the nausea at certain dosages anymore.

however the energy and brain benefits are incredible. My conclusion right now is to use it for workouts or high stress situations. Thats where its an amazing tool. Or for thoose days were brainfog and groggyness keeps me down its also a godsent.

Great great tool to have. Woudnt recommend it daily for someone like me with chronic inflammation/infection tho.

Keep in mind this is just my anecdote/observation

the user MC_55 seems to work with d-ribose and vitamin b3.

maybe its worth contacting him.

there is a thread about nad+ in the other forum and some researcher posted there that he uses b3 in combination with d-ribose in his patients ...

i would assume he can say more about it.

@S-Holmes
wait ... your tinnitus and shoulder are related?

... ever since my right shoulder and shoulder blade have been injured i have tinnitus along with jaw issues.

glucose realy is great for energy, i have the appetite of my 20year old self again and my manhood has improved immensely.

the "biggest" sideeffect thus far is being irritated/angry. i would assume due to either blood sugar dropping or my metabolism ramping up alot. eating something resolves it rather quickly tho.

@jjk_learning

I think we realy just need to wait a few months because by then most who embarked on this can/will report a proper idea of what this whole thing is and wether the promises work or not and wether this is realy harmful. Should i not have diabetes by the 6 month mark then i will never let anyone induce fear of sugar to me again. People also need to understand this is a treatment over a certain time not a lifestyle.

So far for me the positives:

• energy feeling (brain) is high most of the time which is so much lifequality
• no brainfog
• chronic anxiety feeling is alot lower than what is usually baseline
• sensitivity in all regards is way lower and things feel way less troublesome/problematic in general
• a sense of hope/wellbeing that things can and will change for the better
  -maybe tmi but libido and erection quality is realy great atm

the negatives:
-occasional tiredness or nausea, usually very shortlived (lasting a few mins after ingestion ,seems dose dependend)

the not sure what to make of it or if related:

• getting realy hangry 2-3 times a week
• my hair is thinning more than usual the past days
• body hair growing more
• nails growing faster
• digestion is a little worse now instead of better as it was initially on the protocol
• sleeping less due to having to much energy at bed time but sleep itself is still good (have to set a time when to lie down )
• either a little weight gain or more water retention around the midsection

the dissapointing thus far:

• no reduction in percieved ailments (tinnitus, chronic inflammation, sense of selfworth etc.) yet

@ThinPicking

Not realy having difficulty per se with other carb sources. But they do almost nothing for energy or brainfog or wellbeing. They just satiate and taste ok or make me sleepy. Some even cause minorish issues like pizza/certain breads/orange juicr
causing inflammation in my gums on some days, rice seems to make my digestion back up a little(constipation?) and soft drinks, fruit juices and honey make my teeth sometimes feel unpleasant.

Dont have any of that with dextrose. The high dose at once might make one feel a little off for 2-5 mins but then its good mood and brainfunction for me.

I cant say much about the mechanisms but ive been trying it for 3 weeks. Effects came in immediatly.

started at 20g 3x a day but im now at 50g 4x a day.

Dextrose feels absolutely different to other carb sources (maybe due to the microbiome).

Not realy fond of dr stephens explanation tho. Totally understand anyone who doubts the whole thing.

The effects and changes i experience are amazing however. With only little sideeffects.
I will report back in 6 months wether im diabetic and fat or if i abolished my health issues.

Aqua, Isopropyl alcohol, Glycerine, Biotin, Ammonium Chloride, Inositol, Ammonium Acetate, Palmitic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Tyrosine, Burdock Root Extract, Articum Lappa, Gallic Acid, Sulphur, Horsetail Extract, Parfum.*

I would assume biotin and tyrosine to be main players here ... and the antimicrobial/antifungal components to be helpfull aswell.

Horsetail has a good amount of silicia i think (?) but idk if that is actually useable like that topically.

I am also confused about the ammonia ... i thought its a potent neurotoxin ... maybe topically it is helpful as a antimicrobial?

the product also seems horribly expensive ... looking forward to your anecdotes.

@Master magnesium and potassium is important with high b-vitamins.

Since adding a 1:1 ratio of tmg to my b3 for example i do not experience much of any sideeffect from b vitamins anymore which used to be this internal stress response where i would have energy but feel at unease and agitated. Nervous energy so to speak.
