I don't know when improvements were first seen and at what dose.

Hello Zflower:
It is good if high dose up to 45 gm is safe (although the first link you posted did not work with me). I am trying to use minimum dose presently (3 tea spoons of raw powder daily) and will increase as needed. I have more faith in raw powder rather than extract hoping it has more goodies than present research tell
Hello Rick : You are doing very valuable experiment and I am sure many of us are following up with earnest and hope
