Curious question: Agmatine dose per capsule is low. Is there a reason?

Original post in this thread

This is just a curious question. Most brands out there that sell “agmatine” commonly sell 500mg capsules, while ND sells 250mg capsules. Are nootropic benefits found at this low of a dose? I just hear from many users that it may take up to 1-2g of agmatine to reach some sort of therapeutic effect. So I was wondering why the capsules are in the lower side.

Which would you recommend in combination with kratom? I've personally found a higher dose to work better, but I may not have given low doses enough of a chance.

It depends on the person. I use 250mg twice a day. However, higher doses would work quicker for that purpose. I suppose we could consider offering a higher dose capsule as another option for people using higher doses. We might even be able to do a 1g tablet if people would be okay with the size.

What's the reasoning for Agmatine to have a serving dose of 250mg?

Replying to phenlord100 · I saw an old post stating that agmatine makes your brain less malleable since it’s an nmda antagonist. I’ve always wondered if this means that using agmatine during a tolerance bre

The malleable explanation is an oversimplification. People say it makes you less malleable because blocking NMDA reduced glutamatergic currents. Lower glutamate action results in lower LTP. However, over-activation of NM

No worries. I would just preface that when you make posts about it. Otherwise people start to read all these posts thinking that the average person feels nothing. Trying to get off all those things is a tough one. You

Semax, Selank, P21, and tianeptine were the ones I talked about in that old post. Nigella sativa can absolutely help as well. Agmatine sulfate, too.

Bromantane is okay. It's not the miracle some people make it out to be. Why are you thinking it is a dopamine synthesis issue? It's likely a down-regulated receptor issue. Uridine can help up-regulate dopamine receptor

Replying to M0rphMan · Do you believe Agmatine could increase internal rumination almost psycotic thought in nature? Especially if combined with Kratom? I took mulungu, some Agmatine , and Kratom tonight

It's very possible when combined with mulungu and kratom. Have you used mulungu before? What doses of everything were you using?

1) It's hard to say. Nefiracetam might be good, as that binds to the glycine site of the NMDAR. However, I am not convinced of its safety. You can be safe and start with the tried and true piracetam, and go from there.
