It ceased being available several years ago, and now you can only get it in small doses with other supplements, usually ubiquinol. Cat's Claw does contain AC-11, but in much smaller amounts. Resveratrol and acquoirin are also good supps for longevity stacks.

You can buy AC-11 from the manufacturer, not just in other supplements, but it is pricey compared to unbranded Cat’s Claw. Even though you probably do need more Cat’s Claw to get the same amount of AC-11’s active ingredient (carboxyl ethyl esters), you come out way ahead in $. Carobxyl Ethyl Esters (in Cat’s Claw and AC-11) have a synergistic relationship with oxaloacetic acid, both do more together. The immune support and nootropic effects as much as long-term health.

Oxaloacetic Acid seems to be tough to synthesize and has rolling blackouts just like some Androtics pheromones! Even when it’s available from sources that are not marking it up 2-5x, it’s one of the most expensive individual supplements I use, and I sometimes worry about its affordability.

Taking two pills a day, I recently noticed pressure in the center of my head and being tired/weak about 3 hours after taking the supplement.

I started taking 1 pill and there is no pressure or weakness. The site recommends two a day in the morning on an empty stomach. They also say that it takes 4 to 16 weeks to see results.

I saw results in 4 days and then I believe it was more than I needed. I couldn't find much on the web regarding negative side effects, but a couple of forums had people cut back and not say why.

I have seen a really strong improvement in a chronic condition that I have and my moles have gotten smaller. So I know it is doing something. Sleep enhancement is still good too.

highly intriguing publication:

http://www.impactjournals.com/oncotarget...=view&path[]=7665&path[]=22203

multiple plant-extracts common in medicinal or supplement usage where screened for life-extension potential on a certain genus of yeast.

6 of them turned out to:
"increase yeast chronological lifespan to a significantly greater extent than any of the presently known longevity-extending chemical compounds. One of these extracts is the most potent longevity-extending pharmacological intervention yet described"

There is sme conflict of interest though with the main author of the publication and it's only yeast mind you.
Nontheless, since the most promising extract is such a common and centuries-long used substance, which is rather cheap as well, this is a discovery that warrants interest

Not sure how to call this, but my blood pressure went up after a few weeks with this product...I quit taking the supplement and so far I am normal.

The only other products to spike my blood pressure in the past were horny goat week, yohimbe, and ginseng.

Forgot to add that my blood sugar control was excellent while I took basis. Felt like I was no longer diabetic. No highs and lows.
