WHAT IS IT?

Adapton® is Garum Armoricum®, an extract from the brain and stomach of the Great Bluefish native to Brittany in France.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Garum Armoricum is the "product with a thousand virtues," at least according to Scribonius Largus, personal physician to the Roman emperor Claudius (43 A.D.) Garum Armoricum means roughly "Fish sauce from Brittany" in latin.

Garum contains vitamins, minerals and Omega-3 EFA's which might be part of its magic, but the primary effect is to increase the amount of calming, endogenous opiates called endorphins. The polypeptides in Garum act as precursors for endorphins and other neurotransmitters. Endorphins calm, relax, can make you feel euphoric or "high," and relieve pain. 

A study in Japan showed that taking this substance for three months has profound effects on brain waves. High frequency beta waves are associated with active thought processes. Higher frequency waves are associated with agitation and stress. Lower frequency alpha waves are associated with calm, meditative conditions. Even lower theta waves are associated with the vivid imagery of near sleep. Lowest waves belong to the delta group which are characterized by unconsciousness and deep sleep.

Garum was able to triple the incidence of alpha waves, something normally accomplished by narcotics and major antipsychotic tranquilizers.

CAUTIONS

Adapton has no side-effects or toxicity.

See Disclaimer.

DOSE

Four capsules of Garum extract should be swallowed on an empty stomach in the morning for 15 consecutive days. After two weeks, the dose should be reduced to two capsules every morning. If complete relief is obtained, Garum extract can be discontinued until symptoms return, but most people only stop for a week before starting a maintenance dose of two capsules a day. Some people take 2-3 Garum extract capsules every other day.

NHC sells 30 capsule boxes of Adapton 105 mg for $18.00. The suggested retail price is $24.00.
