I personally have not had any side effects from taking the protocol. They do have a "ramp up" version where you gradually increase the dosage of Na-RALA since some folks have digestive problems if they start with the full 1200 mg daily but that's the only issue I've heard others complain about. Also, some people take some adjusting to swallow the organic hemp seed oil. I started out mixing it in a morning smoothie but didn't like it making the smoothie taste bad so have gotten used to just swallowing the 1.5 oz every morning followed by a glass of water. I've been taking it daily since Sept 2016 which was a few years before it became the 525 and was more pills. I have missed a few days over the years but it was when I had a fasting blood lab where I couldn't take supplements before or when I ran out for a day or so before my reorder came. The lapses have not had much of an impact on me because I don't have the pain.

I have been following a clinical trial for a company called WinSanTor which is for WinSanTor’s lead compound, WST-057 a topical containing pirenzepene – https://winsantor.com/pipeline/. Interesting during my research I came across an article that is about one of my conditions I was trying to associate with metabolic syndrome. Much to my surprise I found the following article on their website:
