I didn't notice a boost until I took this higher amount. I feel more evened out, more energy and started sleeping better too.

What do I think? I don't know. Once I got a good start then I wasn't dose schedule critical from hour-to-hour anymore. I've been off the regimen for at most a couple of days at a time, but then some fallback creeps in.
At this point I'm less happy/optimistic as I was when I felt like I had achieved a sucess. But then I am having to deal with the accumulated damage to the exterior particulars of my life up to this point. And then there are all the psychological issues that you and Francesco have alluded to in your own contexts lately. Not every problem goes away completely and permanently when you have the cells running well again, I guess. Need to change allocations and jumpers. :-)
