Welcome to DROPPING-ACID.COM. This site was created as my personal dumping ground for research on amino acids and other supplements. In my effort to optimize physical performance and health, and with all of the information that exists, this site helps me keep it all straight. Since others have encouraged me to share what I've learned along with my personal journey, DROPPING-ACID.COM has come to life. Researching nutrients became my passion after a life changing experience involving the amino acid Taurine. After that experience I became curious to find out what other nutrients I could be missing. I found myself lying awake at night reading research papers, clicking link after link and learning about nutrition and supplements. I didn’t just fall down the proverbial rabbit hole; I dove in headfirst. Weird, I know, but I geek out learning about nutrition and trying new supplements. If you do too, you might enjoy what you find here.

However, there is something you need to know.

- This site contains research and statements regarding nutritional supplement products. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Many of the supplements I have taken have had a powerful impact on my life, and I have noticed many positive changes. Some changes have been dramatic, some have been unexpected, while others have taken more time to recognize. Please do not underestimate the power of nutritional supplements. If your unsure about how you may react to them, seek advice from a medical professional.

Also keep in mind, research can be wrong. As we continue to learn we sometimes find that advice based on previous studies has been inaccurate, misleading, or even harmful. Some research may have flawed data due to conflicts of interest, small sample sizes, large sample sizes with uncontrolled variables, length of a research trial, dosages used, etc. All of these have the ability to influence conclusions no matter how virtuous a researcher’s motives might be. So as you explore this site, please read everything with a critical eye.

Stay Curious,

Ben
