I have it on my list to try after listening to this episode of STEM talk recently with Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima.

I tried it a few years back, with the prime hope of it improving my cognition and also with the possibility of it reducing any fungal issues I had. I took it a while at a conservative dose (sorry cant remember and never noticed much to make it worthwhile. I then read an article about how soldiers used to take it and it turned their urine blue, so obviously a much higher dose. I ramped up the dose (still only a couple of drops) and thought I noticed an improvement in my general wellbeing but not enough for me to rave about it. I wish I could have much so many things I read about others having great success with leave me under whelmed alas. From articles I had read it still sounds like a handy supplement to take for warding of cognitive decline in old age.

Curious you noticed an improvement in wellbeing

What made you decide to stop?

I stop and start things, due to tiredness and struggle coping with my job plus it was turning my mouth blue plus the bottle I had ran out and if I was going to order again would prefer the pharmaceutical grade to reduce any concerns over heavy metals plus it was really only subtle effect and like I say nothing dramatic, so when I do get run down or short on spare $ those sorts of supplements tend to be forgotten about for a while. I have stopped and started it over time.
What condition are you hoping it improves the most?
I suspect its a better supplement from a long term perspective more so than something that will have someone really excited over it changing their life.
