Comed Product Ideas - Trikatu Niagen and Trikatu Metformin

self link for latest

Sane (= scientific anti-religion anti-political)  life extension readings are central to me.

Trikatu is a famous Ayurvedic product.

·         Trikatu literally means "three pungents," it contains the herbs Black Pepper, Indian Long Pepper and Ginger

·         Supports the body's natural cleansing process

·         Supports gastric function and digestion

·         Supports the bioavailability of other nutrients by supporting normal absorption through the gastrointestinal tract

·         Traditional practitioners also use Trikatu to support normal function of the respiratory system and normal urinary tract function

It is supposed to increase the availability of other nutrients bysupporting normal absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. It may improve Niagen absorption! Remember the 3-aaqgs-barriers - stomach-blood, blood-cell-wall and mitochondria barriers. Latter requires equivalent of wittig reaction and may not even exist in many cases. The blood barrier may require IVF, injection route or large consumption assuming that some fraction goes through. Direct blood route demands exceptional purity and post-digestion chemicals. To avoid all kinds of problems, as in Glutathione, increased amount of chemical is better, but there are digestion effects and costs to consider. Trikatu supplementation, if it works, makes sense and trikatu itself is effect-less or positive effects when there is NO reaction with components of any significance- so says Ayurveda to me.

So my idea is Trikatu Niagen. Extensive works shows that 5 gm per Niagen pill is sufficient. So the idea is 250 mg Niagen with 2 gm trikatu. Increases the cost some, but is likely to improve Niagen effect, as experimented on self. None of Trikatu ingredients seem to have any chemical reaction with nicotanamide riboside. So I can try on self – 1 month plain and one month trikatu. I have also asked bioPerine people if they get interested. Note that bioPerine is basically a patented perfected form of trikatu.

My interest in this formulation is from bioPerine coQ10 which effectively works so that 1 pill is equivalent to double dosage to me! May be trikatu or bioPerine Niagen works as if 500 mg of Niagen were taken! The Niagen dose of 250-500 mg seems to work best. For cost reasons, I experiment with 250 m. I send a copy to Patanjali as well.

 The idea behind Trikatu Metformin is similar. Along with Niagen and coQ10, this is the only product considered aaqgs-proven for age-extension.

Disclaimer: FDA does not have endorsements of any age extension products. Above is only considered aaqgs-rational, enough only for self-trial.
