Continuing the discussion from Supplement - Sarcosine / N-Methyl Glycine Reduces Negative Symptoms :
The Sarcosine I bought from BrainVitaminz and Profrontal have different effects. BrainVitaminz dissolves immediately in water whereas opening up a Profrontal capsule and placing it in water doesn’t cause the contents to dissolve. I can be hypersensitive to meds so you might want to take a higher dose than me. I probably get as much of a boost from a small cup of tea as many would from a medium sized cup of coffee. That said, what people are saying about the half life of sarcosine really matches my experience with BrainVitaminz, which takes effect immediately and (at half a gram) causes me to go within about 4 hours from very talkative to unresponsive (worse than before). Profrontal doesn’t seem to work immediately but over the course of the day I will notice myself getting better than before. I am hopeful that it is longer lasting and effective over the long term. What seems to work best for now (can’t explain the science behind it) is taking a Profrontal 1g pill in the morning and taking “swigs” of small amounts of BrainVitaminz at times of the day when you need a little more.
Interesting - I have never heard of this, but you are correct. Probably not a big deal for most people - but something to be aware of…
