Is Sheila Jit Better Than B12?

Rodehiola reminds me a lot of another supplement that actually also comes from the Himalayan area. Sheila Jit, which comes from it's basically black goo that they scrape off of the mountain side. It does have fulvic acid in it and you can standardize it to fulvic acid. And we do know the proposed mechanism of that, which is removing tau tangles,. They conform neurofibularity tangles or NFTs as we like to meet them out.

Rodehiola reminds me a lot of another supplement that actually also comes from the Himalayan area. I hadn't thought of that before, but Sheila Jit, which comes from it's basically black goo that they scrape off of the mountain side. There's fungal component, there's bacterial component. But this Sheila Jit has also many proposed active ingredients. It's also an adaptogen. However, it does have fulvic acid in it and you can standardize it to fulvic acid. And we do know the proposed mechanism of that, which is removing tau tangles, which is in the brain. They conform neurofibularity tangles or NFTs as we like to meet them out. But so I kind of see Rodehiola as kind of similar to Sheila Jit, but without the fulvic acid, which mechanism is well characterized.

Yeah, it's interesting. I guess another, this is kind of an easy one, but I still see this advertised, get your B12 shot, 50 bucks, boost your energy. And this data has been out for quite some time now, but subling will be 12 is just as effective, if not more effective than the B12 shots. So I mean, you could get a decade worth of B12 sublingually for the same price as a B12 shot. And then you've got the injection pain, potential for infection doesn't happen particularly often. But anytime you're doing an intramuscular injection, you do have the potential for site reactions, pain, infection, all these sorts of things. Yep, certainly also superior to getting an IV therapy of B12 and other B vitamins. Yeah, IV, the risk will go up even more. I saw an IV therapy for bloating the other day, which I thought was interesting because what if a congestive heart failure patient that tends to hold their fluid in their midsection comes in and wants to get rid of their bloating, give them an IV, you're going to have the exact opposite effect of what you would think. Now, the average person who's dehydrated and they're producing more ADH, you give them some more fluids, maybe there's a net diuretic effect there because they're dehydrated baseline, but just makes so much more sense just to drink water than to go in and have a water IV.
