Has anyone used this? It's from a compounding pharmacy and my doctor said it's supposed to help with head pressure, brain fog, etc.

Do you know what all is in it?

I'm actually not sure, the pharmacy is supposed to call me to let me how much it is and I'll ask what's in it.

The ingredients on my bottle say: methylcobalamin (methyl-B12), RG3 (ginsenoside), nicotinamide riboside, MCT oil, DMSO, and a few things that I can't read without a magnifying glass.

My LLMD had me try RG3 and had a lot of confidence in it. Failed for me. When it didn't work we went away from nasal sprays then later came back with the option of either nasal glutathione or oral CBD. I tried the glut first and it helped, so I never got to the CBD. I should probably point out that by time I got to the nasal glut I had already had a significant reduction in head pressure from the other treatments I was doing, so it didn't have as big a task as the RG3 did.

Thanks TxBart! I'm not totally sure I will try it after what you said, I feel like I throw so much money around and often it doesn't help! I still don't know how much they'd charge me for it.

My LLMD just gave me a prescription for this so I am giving it a try. She had a $40 off coupon so it came to $95. I have had terrible brain fog so I am hoping it does something. Did you ever end up trying it?

Is the RG3 spray the same as the BEG spray? Because I've tried 30 days of BEG and I don't think it did much for me. I also have terrible brain fog as well, and will try anything to get rid of it...

where do you order it? Im doing my own mix of it. Im using edta powder for nasal rinse, and combine it with essential oils nasal sprays and colidalls silver. EDTA is quite strong, maybe start with xylit, but i think you dont need necessary to get the beg spray.

There are quite a few sites in Uk that sell it at similar price. I’m thinking of ordering it from here. Might not start yet as cryptolepis is reducing hurting brain and helping cognitive function a lot

From this website here

ok just read again. The beg spray is complete differnt, its with antifungal and antibiotic. The beg3 is more herbal sodium version. Its pricey 72 dollar for 20ml which will last maybe two weeks. I can just recommend to try nasal rinse with maybe iodine and edta first. Just to see the reaction. EDTA and iodine are super cheap.. And you can also add the xclear one which is also quite cheap

I was curious about this so looked it up

one thing i noted was the extremely small doses of ginseng based compounds ( the active ingredient) in the product - around 1/4 milligram per spray

this is several orders of magnitude smaller than the IV or oral doses of ginseng compounds found to be effective in the peer reviewed literature.

the makers claim the nasal route allows these tiny doses to be effective - but as far as i can see there is no good quality human trials to support this claim

there are only some mouse studies - and even there they used much higher doses per bodyweight

high price tag with v little solid science behind - is a pattern that makes me sceptical - and i don’t like to see companies taking advantage of the sick with their marketing/pricing

i very much doubt there is anything magical about this formulation.
