▸ Editor's verdict SKIP-FOR-NOW MEDIUM
"Real mechanism (cerebral vasodilation + IKK-β inhibition) with respectable evidence in elderly cognitive decline and post-stroke recovery — but irrelevant to a 20-year-old with already-optimal cerebral perfusion. Bioavailability is poor (~7% oral). Regulatory friction (FDA 2016 tentative ruling kicking it out of dietary supplement category; 2019 warning to women of childbearing age over miscarriage signal) means sourcing quality is unreliable. The compound is mainly indicated for age-related vascular cognitive decline, not for healthy young athletes seeking cognitive enhancement. dc community side-effect cluster (headache 14, brain-fog 13, fatigue 12, tolerance 11) further argues against."
