Regarding the neuroprotection, RLSmi correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the low dose approach needs it to be there at the critical time in the early morning. That does not necessarily mean that its absence is required at other times. Also, a second protective action occurs in the damping down of the microglia which should be independent.
I'm avoiding the other ingredients to ward off unwanted effects. The plainer the better right now.
As for my "expertise".....

In other words, neuroprotective benefit was found at femtomolar but not at picomolar levels. How in the world do we factor in this when dosing with a little plastic cup?
-I take it if the DM has guiafenesin or any other ingredient, it's not as efficacious? (I could initially only find DM with this additive)
-How does taking a supplement that has bioperine factor in? It's known to amp up meds in our system, I wonder if taking supplements might 'wash out' the potential neuroprotective benefit of DM?
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and expertise!
