[THREAD] Biohacking with thiamine

I am going to try taking megadoses of thiamine to persuade my mitochondria to cooperate with my desire for productivity.

My vitamin B complex supplements contain 28 mg, which is, like, nothing compared to where I want to go, so today I am adding 200 mg thiamine, and will work my way up to 700 over a few days, then see whether it needs to be more.

Also getting lysine again, so that I can take lysine and citrulline together as well.

Since I'm in the habit of connecting threads, here's something about thiamine in a different context: COVID-19:

And here is another thing I wrote about thiamine, in yet another context:

Later I will explain why I want to try high-dose thiamine even though I don't have symptoms of thiamine deficiency or a genetic predisposition to underutilisation of dietary thiamine. If I tell you now, you may just argue too much with me.

OK, I took about 400mg today, I think. I just realised that this could become an expensive experiment given the volumes. Luckily I ordered and paid for another 200 x 100 mg tablets already.

Also, the "I think" part is obviously totally hopeless if you wanna do a legit experiment. This is now no longer a controlled experiment.

This is what happens when you have brain fog when you're tryna cure yo brain fog... 😑
