How long does FGL take to work?
In the first week of FGL, subtle. Animal models show memory-task improvements emerging. Around week 4, cycle endpoint in most animal protocols. By week 8, off-cycle. No human long term data. Response varies between people, this is the commonly reported pattern, not a guarantee.
Week by week
- Week 1: Subtle. Animal models show memory-task improvements emerging.
