yeah taurine works pretty well for me too, but both lose their effectiveness for some reason after a couple days.I am having as good or better results using taurine.
Does anyone know if the additives in pepcid are a concern?
Where are people buying the additive free version?

This study seems to show that famotidine increases pH to 4.8-6.6. Not sure if this pH will stay so high if you keep using it, but if that is the case, I would say that this is not good for the digestion of proteins.
I'm far from proficient at properly reading studies, but it appears that stomach acid is reduced by 60% when using, but within 48 hours things return to normal unlike newer medications which have high acid rebound causing ulcers. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1685675
Sounds like a solid approach. I may try again, but more like 20mg EODThese suggest to me that it could be useful to "pulse" famotidine for people concerned about H. pylori. I'm considering 20mg every 3 days, hoping it gives some fraction of the benefits while maintaining periods of time with plenty of stomach acid.
Pepcid is the only one I have ever known of...can be found at any US drug store.Anybody have a link to a solid famotidine product?
@haidut is this something that can improve glycogen storage after stopping use or does one need to continue using famotidine to see the benefits?
I wonder if it only raises prolactin in special cases? I can't find the full text of the first one, but the second one is a single case of a woman accidentally taking a double dose of famotidine for 5 months, resulting in very high prolactin levels. They note:
They reference a contrasting study, though I haven't been able to find it:
Here's a couple additional ones that don't seem to find a famotidine/prolactin link, at least short-term:
Pharmacodynamics of famotidine in humans. - PubMed - NCBI
Clinical pharmacology of famotidine. - PubMed - NCBI
How come hypothyroid people have issues with glycogen?Hypothyroid people have issues with glycogen storage and having a substance that can increase such storage would be helpful. "
