Found a product called FUBAR energy shot with Schisandra in the NERUO Blend see below. I presume at this level it you have very little health effect compared with other ingredients.

Caffeine Blend – 400mg/90ml serve Caffeine Anhydrous, Guarana (paullinia cupana) (seed) Extract
(std. to 22% caffeine), Kola nut (cola acuminata) (fruit) Extract.

Neuro Blend – Taurine, Cacao (theobroma cacao) (seed) Extract (std. to 98% theobromine), Schisandra (berry) Extract (std. to 2% Schizandrins), Huperzine A (from huperzia serrata) (aerial parts)

I hope this is something that would be just as good for Lyme disease as any. I love anything holistic. This might do wonders I hope!

It would be great to hear your recommendations as to when to take it, whether to take it with food or on an empty stomach, and how much.

Why is it not recommended if one has seizures? Is it drug interactions or the effects on the brain’s electrical system?

You sleep better and the balance with the other influences creates increased energy. There is no contradiction unless u want to create it.

“Increases energy” yet is a “common treatment for insomnia.” Sounds contradictory.

I just read some studies that Gonisin N (one of the ligan compounds of Schisandra chinensis) also shows potential for weight reduction http://www.nature.com/articles/srep40345 and skin lightening https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5344003/

Hi Joe
Do you know of any herb, supplement, practices that may help reduce intra cranial pressure. I took by mistake Cipro (quinolone antibiotic) over five years ago, experienced an extreme adverse reaction which destroyed my body for six months. I made almost complete recovery, except for intermittent intra cranial pressure which can wreck sleep profoundly for days. I noticed schisandra isn’t recommended for those with high intra cranial pressure, hence my query.

Hi joe
I love your articles as they are factual and very helpful..could you also add into the description of the brand of supplement you use when to take it (time of day and with/without food) and also the dosage you recommend or take. Don’t matter when you take it.
