My doctor recommended NT Factor Energy to me because of my constant fatigue from either Lyme or my antibiotics (rifampin and minocycline).

My question is how many of you have used this product?

Do you notice any results?

Any side effects?

What brand do you use?

What was your dosage?

I am considering purchasing it but I would like to hear some feedback before I drop 45 dollars on it.

I'm curious too! I'm tired of spending on products that don't help.

In his "Diagnostic Hints & Treatment Guidelines", Dr. Burrascano lists what he calls "required supplements". He has another section that lists supplements that help with certain issues and NT factor was listed there.

He stated that NT factor was the single supplement that showed to be most effective at restoring energy in his patients. He recommended Researched Nutritionals brand.

I ordered NT factor shortly after starting a new, immune-support multi that contains NAC, ALA
and acetyl-carnitine.

Before the NT factor arrived, my energy had been restored (yay :) I don't know if the new multi deserves the credit....or the small dose increase of thyroid hormone I started (I have an underactive thyroid).

I decided to return the NT factor only because the Researched Nutritionals brand contains calcium and magnesium....and needs to be dosed 3 times/day. Calcium and magnesium interfere with doxycycline that I'm taking twice/day.....and they also interfere with thyroid meds that I'm also taking twice day. I have enough trouble spacing the doxy that needs to be taken on an empty stomach and, optimally, 3 hrs. away from any calcium/magnesium. I just couldn't figure out how to dose the NT factor I bought lol (and I didn't like the fact that the magnesium in it was magnesium oxide - one of the least bioavailable forms).

If energy becomes an issue for me again, I think I'd research a different brand of NT Factor and make a product choice based upon reviews.

Best of luck to you no matter what you decide!

I have been taking Allergy Research Group NT Factor EnergyLipids Powder for several months now. I take 1/4 tsp after breakfast and 1/4 tsp after supper so it does last a long time.

Low energy is one of my main symptoms. My energy level has improved somewhat over the last few months, but I don't know how much of it is due to using this product. It's really hard to tell because I am on so many things. Sorry not much help here.

I don't get any side effects from it. Anyway, just finishing my container of it and will buy more. It certainly can't hurt and who knows, maybe it is doing some good.

Does it matter which brand of NT factor I buy?

It is my understanding that Dr. B has gotten paid (maybe still does) to promote Researched Nutritionals. It is probably a very good brand, but in the interest of full disclosure, this should be known.

i've been using the NT Factor by Researched Nutritionals for a little over 6 weeks now, and I have noticed that my fatigue symptoms aren't as bad on most days, unless I'm going through a real bad Herx, but I hope that's in part to my treatment working.

My most debilitating symptom was my fatigue when I started treatment, at times not allowing me to drive home from work without falling asleep, no matter what I did,

or needing naps as soon as I got home just to function for a few more hours, or not even being able to get out of bed except to barely stumble to the bathroom for days on end at the worst times.

They say that you have to take it for 6-8 weeks to allow it to have time to start repairing your cells and feel improvement, and they also say to take 6 pills a day, which makes it pretty expensive.

That's about 2 bottles/month. My LLMD suggested 4 pills a day should work, and it has for me. There were even a couple hours of the last few days where I felt better with more energy than I have in 20 years.

It also contains a lot of probiotics, so you might be able to write-off that expenditure toward it if you've been buying probiotics or calcium supplements like me.

Also, once you've taken it 2 months you can step up to the ATP Fuel which has the NT Factor as well as another blend, probiotics, and CoQ10. I have to wait on that though cuz you can't use CoQ10 while you're taking Mepron, and I'm about to start that.

Summersun-How much is the Allergy Research one, and how long does it last? Do you know if they have the ATP blend too?

RobNorl - I bought it at the beginning of June and I am just finishing it now so it lasted a long time. I paid $88.00 for the container (powder) here in Canada.

Sorry, I don't know if they have the ATP bend too.

I like how researched nutritionals claims there's is better than the powdered version but they do not explain why? They also fail to explain what there phosolypids are made of.
