Questions about Polygala

Original post in this thread

I recently received my polygala order and took 300 mg two days ago, 400 mg yesterday. I bought it to boost agmatine’s beneficial effects on mood, but havent noticed much effect yet in that department. Is there a typical time for mood effects to become apparent? For me, I know with agmatine it takes about four days for the mood effects to appear.

Also the dosing on this herb is weird, kinda seems like a has a fairly narrow dosage window for its stimulating effects. When I hit 400 mg yesterday, it definitely gave me an “in my face” sedation, whereas 300mg was more of an energy booster. Is there a u-shaped curve for this guy?

Thanks!

Also, I recognize that saying it doesn’t have much effect on mood and then explaining how I’ve experienced both stimulation and sedation while taking Polygala can seem contradictory.

However, neither the stimulatory nor the sedative seemed to alter my mood much, more so my energy levels.

It's going to depend on the person. What works best for one person might do nothing for you, or have side effects. We like to talk in generalities, but people's brain chemistries vary a lot more than most realize. So fin

Extended Release Polygala?

Yeah, we have thought about it. We just need to determine the best way to formulate that. We are also considering doing sublingual polygala tablets.

Is polygala a strong enough MAOI that it shouldn’t be combined with aniracetam?

No, it's not something you need to worry about. The main compound in polygala that has MAOI effects is called DISS (3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose). It has less than 0.5% bioavailability. This means it is likely not clinically
