Earlier quoted context omitted.

I take 1200mg a day, when Im taking it. I think standard/reccomended dosage is 600mg.

What's the reason to take it everyday? Does it truly make a difference everyday or could you get away with 1/3 days? What are the effects on you?

Late response, but I have OCD and trichotillomania. I take a higher dose because the studies that measure effectiveness for these disorders used this dosage. I do not notice any effects outside of less compulsion to mess with my hair, which us huge (for me).

"Reverse brain aging", sure, in the same sense that taking Vitamin C reverses aging. The nasal spray reduced markers of inflammation in hippocampal microglial cells. A lot of things reduce inflammation. That is not "reversing ageing". Of course, "reduces inflammation" doesn't headline very well...

The article is also heavily ai generated, I call bs on every single bit

This entire thread reads like I got flamed by LLM bots

Yeah, like nobody uses em dashes anymore right?

I know lots of writers who have (reluctantly) stopped using em-dashes. Many replaced them with colons, and are now wondering what they will replace colons with.

I'm long on semi-colons
