    Summary TheDrug.Wiki

    Rodent and cell data show 9-Me-BC up-regulates tyrosine hydroxylase and BDNF, promotes neurite outgrowth, and reverses rotenone/MPTP dopaminergic injury. IC50 ≈1 µM (MAO-A) and 15 µM (MAO-B) imply mild dietary tyramine sensitivity. Users report subtle but clean motivation, pattern-recognition boost, and mood brightening; bitterness limits sublingual dwell time.

    Tolerance

    Build-up develops rapidly after a single use
    Reset 7–14 days for baseline

    Tolerance Decay

    Full tolerance 10d Half tolerance 7d Baseline ~10d

    Tolerance pattern is inferred from community cycles and MAOI-class experience; no formal human data. Anecdotally, consecutive heavy dosing for a week can blunt effects; spacing doses and cycling (≤14 days on, ≥14 off) is commonly used to mitigate this.
