A few new projects
Well SFM has a lot going on but i have a few pet projects Im going to be working through the AugLim blog. Any collab is welcome. First off one of my current fascinations is with Lithium Salts. A large number of studies have shown neuroprotective, genic and neuroplastic effects in certain regions. Also a three percent increase in grey matter in as little as 4 weeks of therepeutic dosing. The question of course is what aspect to monitor and how.. anyone have any
Ideas on how to test this?
Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide... Some impressive circadian rythm modifying aspects.
glutathione iv
Finally growth factors like ngf.

What dose are we talking about? Impossible to reach through eating without a doubt.
It sounds interesting, these are the only things I can find. Except for science looking pages, and expensive.
If aspartic acid stimulates NMDA receptors, this is a better choice than the others?
The others seem to be toxic, but not a lot of literature apparently about lithium aspartate.
What is meant by serum levels?
I'm going to give it a go, 5mg daily as per supplements instructions.
It's a doozy.
Regardless, I would love to be a part of this. I have a supply of Lithium Carbonate on the way. Perhaps various Lithium salts could (asuming a large enough group of people take part) be compared regarding their effects.

antipsychotic medications, suggests that lithium treatment
in patients with BD induce sustained increases in GM
