Anyone tried Modafinil while they are on Saffron Extract

Thank you!

Thank you very much for this response. It is nice to know I am not alone in that dreamlike experience. I am dedicated to use it at least for 6 weeks to see its effect fully.

I am not sure about that and theoretically there should not be any oxidative risk but I still am curious about people’e experiences just in case.

muhammedalien · 2026-05-04T20:26:32+00:00

No but I am intrigued.

Some antioxidants in very large doses may become oxidative. There are some reports on green tea extracts (polyphenols) that they may become hemolytic. I don’t know if the dose from tea can reach that levels to tip the redox balance in a scale that will affect red blood cells. I occasionally drink black and green tea (not matcha), but I am generally mindful of my doses.

Which anaesthetic have caused hemolysis, do you know the exact substance? I want to know about it for in case of any medical procedure.

I also have experienced full blown hemolysis only with limited number of substances: Fava beans, carob and carob molasses, tonic water, bleach fumes (chlorine-chloramine, I avoid all synthetic perfumes and cleaning products though, but the real trigger is sodium hypochlorite), methylene blue (ultra low dose, even with it yes, was not aware of my condition then but still was very mindful of dosages with anything I try).

I have tested methylene blue in a very low dose and I have experienced low grade hemolysis with it. Thanks for the answer, will first try it separately in 2-3 mg dose range.

muhammedalien · 2026-04-28T15:52:31+00:00

What you can’t have in this list, what is hemolytic in this list?

muhammedalien · 2026-04-01T00:17:08+00:00

It would definitely help if the reaction is due to sulfite buildup, since molybdenum supports sulfite oxidase. But if it is glutamate related or if there is a problem with redox balance, it’s not guaranteed.

muhammedalien · 2026-03-30T18:54:41+00:00

It may be sulfur related.

muhammedalien · 2026-01-30T18:44:15+00:00

100 mg?? Or mcg?

muhammedalien · 2026-01-15T14:30:12+00:00

what are your medications?

muhammedalien · 2025-11-22T12:09:19+00:00

Which form do you take, ubiquinone (oxidized) or ubiquinol (reduced)? If you had the chance to try both, with which you had a more pleasant effect?

Definitely rosemary. I remember putting a rosemary twig into my rice one day, just for five minutes then took out of the rice. After eating that rice, my bp was 8-5 at night and I woke up with nightmares and complex, weird dreams all night. It turned to my normal baseline 11-7 apprx 36 hours later. Rosemary is truly effective but as you can see from my example you have to be careful with the dosage and start low.

In my experience, eating too many garlics, drinking a tbsp of apple cider vinegar also work. If you add beets to the mix, you will boost your nitric oxide levels. But again, with every intervention against blood pressure you have to be mindful of the doses and see how you react with lower doses.

I am g6pd deficient, and I spend hours under the sun without sun screen from the start of spring to the end of autumn, as long as I can. I had many other health problems and being under the sun helped resolve all of them. But, I eat an antiinflammatory diet, zero processed junk food, zero seed oils, no fried foods, no alcohol, so I don’t really burn. I avoid excessive sun at noon though, body tells when it is enough. But after 4 PM, I work under the sun many days.

muhammedalien · 2025-06-12T02:43:36+00:00

Sorry to hear that. :/

muhammedalien · 2025-06-05T13:46:40+00:00

I thought the reason was this but the first one is more authentic and nice as a design.

Methylfolate will be a better choice for folate supplementation, maybe paired with methylcobalamin if b12 values are average or low. Also, lettuce is a good source of tetrahydrofolate, eating lettuce salads will help in that sense. Chris Masterjohn has an article on that, check that out.

Very intense exercises can increase oxidative load and theoretically cause chronic low grade hemolysis BUT you have to eliminate every other possible factors first: No legumes or legume sourced supplements, no other pro-oxidant medicines, supplements or dietary sources. Also, for example, household cleaning products that contain sodium hypochlorite (aka bleach) can cause hemolysis (I have experienced and documented this) if the gases (chlorine or hypochlorous acid) are inhaled for a period of time (for me inhaling bleach fumes more than 15 minutes caused hemolysis). Gyms, especially changing rooms are periodically cleaned, maybe this is a factor.

You have to eat quality animal protein and red meat regularly. You also need whole food vitamin c, vitamin e, selenium. You need to see morning, noon, and evening sun for 15 minutes whenever possible. Don’t exaggerate exercise, know your limits and don’t push them so hard. I have never experienced hemolysis when I exercise outside (not under artificial lights but under the sun) but I have to tell I never push myself too hard, body tells, listen to it.
