I tried it and found a very mild benefit but it wasn’t worth the cost. It stopped working for me after a while and I haven’t tried it again since.

I got quite interesting effects from plain oxalate found in spinach. When I trialed a portion of spinach on an empty stomach I experienced a dramatic surge of energy about 30 to 60 minutes later, which I can only attribute to the oxalate, probably by being part of the citric acid cycle.
I eventually had to stop spinach due to kidney pain and other issues, so this was unfortunately more of a short-term hack as most of the temporary improvement producing fixes tend to be. I had a hard time finding oxaloacetate supplements and at the dose needed to produce a similar effect they would have been very expensive, but I trialed them once and they didn't seem to work any better than plain oxalate for me.

@Springbok1988 and @BrightCandle, what dose of oxaloacetate did you take? 100mg (available on Amazon) or 500mg (available only from the manufacturer)?
