Fair enough . But I was actually gonna use it for pufa replacement and 10 mg just won't cut it gonna take centuries , so yeah i really dont know what peat exactly meant when he said they're best for replacing pufa in the tissues ...I can't say if I perceptually notice any difference between 10 and 20, for now. If and when I go to like 40 or so just to experiment we'll see.
Yea one of the useful studies you posted about the stress reduction used a max of 400mg/kg which would be about 5,000mg HED. That is massive but since so far for only a week I am seeing these benefits perhaps with such low doses it may be a matter of them having simply skipped over useful, much lower doses as starting points. In my opinion, most things point to 10-20mg per day for humans, maybe 30mg and maybe if up to 30, split up in divided doses.
This is good to note from that same study:
"Scientific studies where octacosanol alone was used in humans are limited. Keller et al., studied
the use of 30 mg/day (10 mg each with 3 principle meals) for 4 weeks in human females and did not report any
adverse effect. Most studies on humans used policosanol, with octacosanol as major constituent and suggested
a safer dose of 10–20 mg/day for humans31, 32. The dose used in this study is much higher compared to suggested
human dose, however, a much higher dose (500 mg/day) of policosanol continuously for 1-year was found to be
safe in rats."
By the way, my method of ingestion is to dissolve it in a small dose of Vit E solution, like TocoVit or AC grace, both of which I use (one or the other). I figured it is good to mimic the holistic package if you will we would normally have found in totally unrefined E.
