Here is a link to the study behind the headlines: pnas.org/content/early/2017...

As far as I can tell squalamine is only available at thousands of dollars in milligram quantities right now.

There is Squalamine supplement available called squalamax that is reasonably priced

Thanks for the tip.

"How much squalamine is in the Squalamax™ product?

Each 650mg Squalamax capsule contains approximately 100ug (based upon typical yields of approximately 150ug per gram) of natural squalamine. The recommended daily dosage is 2-8 capsules. If one were to consume 5 capsules daily, then they would obtain approximately 500ug of natural squalamine."

500 ug = .5 mg. I'm afraid that would not be enough to be therapeutic.

No proof that what you swallow crosses the blood-brain barrier of as yet. It has not been shown that it works in life yet.

I think we should all accept that this the beginning of a long road.
