First 5mg spermidine week: how it affected my focus and sleep

I started taking spermidine 5mg a day about a month ago, after hearing the buzz about its autophagy kick‑ cursus. I took it each evening with a glass of water, right after the rapamycin cycle I finished last month. For the first few days I only felt a mild lift – less groggy in the afternoon and a steadier mood through the night.

I don’t think the rapamycin finished off the sleep hiccups I had, but the extra dose of spermidine gave me a subtle boost in mental clarity when I was running coaching sessions and sorting paperwork after work. I didn’t notice a big change in my skin or heart rate, but the sharpness at the end of the day is something I didn’t expect from a food‑derived polyamine. Would anyone else see a similar pattern, or is that just my own experience? I’m keen to see if the synergy with rapamycin will show stronger effects over a longer cycle.
