Brinsupri experience after 3+ months

Posted by scoop @scoop, Jan 2 10:34am

Brinsupri may take 3–6 months to reach full effect.
Please use this thread to share first-hand experiences only if you have been on Brinsupri for 3 months or longer.

To keep this discussion useful and focused, let’s limit comments to actual outcomes, side effects, or changes you’ve observed after at least 3 months of use.

General questions, early impressions (< 3 months), speculation, or unrelated discussions please post in a separate thread.

Glad you’re doing better!
What were the “bumps in the road”?

Just a range of different symptoms. Some took a while to pass, others not long. Like the heartburn someone mentioned. I had that for a couple of weeks in the beginning and it was not pleasant at all but I gave it some time and it passed and never returned. Sometimes I would go through a "spell" where I thought maybe the Brinsupri had stopped working because my symptoms seemed to almost be returning back to their "pre-Brinsupri" state, but that passed. I seem to be pretty stable now- but there may be another surprise, it has been about 9 months now and they say to give it a year.

@jago I looked up Trace Electrolyte Stamina pills. Looks good. I have taken Ultima in the past that did not have "fruit" flavoring. I always prefer to be sure sugar is not on the label and not artificial flavorings.
Glad you mentioned Trace Electrolyte Stamina pills.

I ordered the Trace Electrolyte Stamina pills. When they arrived I noticed that they contain iron. Iron can be damaging to organs, if taken by women past Menses. Iron for older women should only be taken, if recommended by a Doctor. I don’t think iron is an electrolyte.
