Afzelin.... sounds very promising - doesn't it?

I'd love to try it out on myself.

What do you think?

Side effects?

Procurement?

Dosage?

Seems like it might be very pricey without insurance to cover the cost :

Sigma Aldrich has it for $303 for 1 mg :

20mg at $288 = $14,400/gram, that's the cheapest I've found. If you buy higher quantities it will certainly be cheaper. It is offered by a lot of companies!

I think you can get 1 gram for about 5,000 dollars

A rat weighs about 200 grams at 20mg/kg = 4mg

I weigh approx. 75kg = 1.50 grams, divided by 4 (rat/human) = 375mg!

If you take 375mg once a day, 5,000 dollars will get you just 3 days!

perhaps a little too expensive after all....
