If anyone is trying this - please let us know how it goes for you.
When mine turns up Iāll give my honest opinion.
Its hard to order enough online I heard. The doses they use are much higher than the food additive doses. It probably takes a number of days for it to build up. Bad results may be the result of not taking enough.
It did improve some domains of cognition in some trial I read.
Whatās the dosage for a schizophrenic like me of this stuff? Is it 1gram? Iām not sure but my delivery might come tomorrow so Iāll like to give it a try.
I doubt itās gonna do much for me though.
Hereās hoping.
I think 1-2grams/day is the sweet spot.
This stuff cures us?
Iām not sure this will cure anything I mean itās a good preservative, but Iām really not sure.
I just had an energy drink and when I checked the ingredients it contained sodium benzoate.
Iāll be amazed if this helps in anyway.
Who knows yet.
if youāre trying it - please post info on dosages, timing of dosages, and your results!
@SzAdmin . Yes I will try my best to give accurate details on it as soon as it arrives.
Iām only gonna take 1gram just to be on the safe side.
This is my second day on Sodium Benzoate (1gram), canāt really tell if it did something yesterday because I had some alcoholic beverages before I took it. Yesterday, before going to bed I took some Sarcosine, this morning I took Sodium Benzoate and feel more calm and focused, less bored, less negative thoughts, I feel kinda mellow which is a nice feeling. Where I usually have no idea what to do on a free day and get bored easily I did quite some research on the inhibiting DAAO properties of Sodium Benzoate and what it really means if schizophrenics take it. Seems to me that Sodium Benzoate is really a chemical which some of us (just like Sarcosine) might really find profit off and others will see no benefit at all. Itās too early to say that Sarcosine + Sodium Benzoate really works for me but so far Iām planning on using it for weeks to see if this mellow/relaxed feeling will keep on and to see if it really affects my negative and cognitive symptoms (I almost have no positive symptoms in this regard). I highly recommend more people in trying Sodium Benzoate so that we can have our own āresearchā on itās effects on āusā.
Does anyone know if itās safe to take if youāre already taking sarcosine?
Yes itās safe to take with sarcosine because they did trials with both of them together.
After more than 2 weeks on sodium benzoate a little update. Like in my first update of the first few days I notice not much than being a little more calm, I have no improvements in negative or cognitive symptoms and like I said I didnāt have positive symptoms so I canāt say anything about that. However, what I do notice is a slightly shift in my mood and calmness overall in a positive way, I feel less bored, more focused, less depressed and an overall calmness. The past two days I changed taking it in the morning to taking it before sleeping (as well as the 1-2 grams of Sarcosine). I donāt know if itās coincidence or not but my sleep-cycle has improved a little bit the last two days. From waking up 3-4 times at night it has been reduced to 1-2 times and I wake up fresh and feeling calm. This may well be to the use of Sodium Benzoate (because of itās calming effect on me) or just pure coincidence but I have to see. I will keep taking Sodium Benzoate and Sarcosine at night to see whatās the case and to see if this calm feeling and improvement in my mood continues.
I think I can ditto the improvement in mood/sense of calmness you describe. I take half a teaspoon a day.
I think I see an improvement too. Could be placebo though.
Today I have started taking sodium benzoate. I will keep all you informed about any change I notice.
