Hi everyone!!
is anyone taking this? how are you doing on it?
it's good for memory, concentration, fatigue, brain cells, cardiovascular, cholesterol, etc.
I was skeptical of this supplement last year...... but after reading more about it and how desperate I was to find a way to be less "zombified" (at least so I can function beyond a level of staring at plain walls for hours unaware of the time of day or year), I ended up caving in and trying it.
I started out on a strong dosage of 400 mg. it took a few weeks to start working but it's awesome. I take it in the morning with my "morning pills" along in my weekly pill organizer. started takin it back in Jan. now when I get up in the morning, I can actually THINK and FOCUS on what I need to do, like: put clothes on, grab water & drink, make breakfast, feed the cats, etc. And I feel like I have some coordination while I'm doing it.
Even better, I don't feel like I have to have bed rest every 2 days for every one days of activity. I can go out and do a few things for several days in a row before taking a day of rest. It's totally nuts! I still have good days and bad days where I can't remember things and I get tired but i'm a t least FUNCTIONING way better.
You can buy this at any vitamin store, walmart, sams club, etc. do your research on this supplement and see if this is something you want to try. it may just be the thing that makes your life happy. you may just be able to steal some of your life back! I know I did. :)

Glad to hear they do work for some.
If I can work later this year, I would like to try taking 400 mgs because I've heard of people doing well on 400. It's just... so expensive. Vitamins and supplements add up. I haven't been taking D-Ribose like I should because it's just so expensive.
anyways.... I know this supplement can be expensive. i wasn't able to buy it for quite a while till my disability was increased. BUT that got me thinkin, can this supplement come in PRESCRIPTION FORM?? I'm goin to ask my primary care, and I think you all should, too. if doctors can prescribe calcium, vit C, vit D, you never know, right? maybe they can prescribe this, too? that could save some $$
Yes, I take a liquid form of this (meshed in with a few others and some super greens). I love it. I took think clearer when taking it.
The bottle of stuff I got runs about $40-$45...but when you look at all of the vitamins in there....that's about what I'd be paying for everything together.
BTW, it's great to see you. I was thinking of you yesterday (and before).
I'm so happy this is working for you. There is also L-arganine and L-Carnitine (we get them through Vita Cost.com). These two also help with memory improvement. One more is Lecithin! I would sprinkle some of that on my yogurt. Yum!
