Question; I bought “Ninnikudama” for my first time.
10 days have passed from starting to take, it seems that sleepiness mentioned on the “Points for taking” has come to me. Why do I become sleepy?

With regard to the reason of sleepiness, garlic has function to switch on both sympathetic nerve, which controls actions, and parasympathetic nerve, which controls rests.
Explaining more particularly, vitamin B1 (contained as activated vitamin B1 and allithiamine in “Ninnikudama”) has a character that to condition both sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve to work when those should work.
Work together with this “operation tower”, garlic and egg yolk contain lots of ingredients which supports functions of each autonomic nerves.
In connection to the parasympathetic nerve which can be considered as a root of sleepiness, decompose lecithin of egg yolk inside the body and become ingredient called “choline” which will be the raw material of generating acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine is one of the neurotransmitter of parasympathetic nerve system.
(“Dopamine” would be one of neurotransmitter of sympathetic nerve system)
Also as a characteristic function of garlic, expands the peripheral vessels and improves blood circulation and raise the body temperature. This expands of peripheral vessels usually happens when parasympathetic nerve is active.
As mentioned above, garlic and egg yolk contains function to be a priming water of activating parasympathetic nerve.
In the other hand, garlic also contains lots of ingredients which activate sympathetic nerve.
Amino acid called creatine is ingredient which relates to the instantaneous force of muscles.
Also, mineral called kalium is important ingredients for muscular contraction. If these two ingredients are abounding, it will be come able to stand up straight at once, or gear up in a required situation.
Also, organogermanium is for bringing oxygen all over the body, B-complex vitamins such as vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B6 are fundamental ingredients for metabolize (means using inside the body) sugar, adipose, and protein.
Therefore, ingredients which will be a “material to activate” becoming a priming water when sympathetic nerve is active are also contained abound.
Considering all of these facts, sleepiness which comes at the beginning of taking is because autonomic nerves become actively modulated and when the body requires rests, that requirement is considered to come out and felt easily.
Not considering if the society allows feeling sleepiness when it arise, when the body requires sleep, it should be better to take a sleep. However, if it is not allowed or can not stand with that sleepiness, it might be better to reduce the quantity.
Also, if it is possible to keep awake “save that sleepiness” until the time to go to bed by washing face or do some exercise, it will result a great life rhythm.
For just an aside, let’s say that you decided “not to sleep now because I have things to do now”. Please try if still the sleepiness comes to you.
Sleepiness will not come!
You may experience the great force of will.
But please be careful not do this on a daily basis.
It is true that if you feel sleepiness, it is the best to go to sleep.
Actually, I think that those who can feel sleepiness would be very few.
Since I also had time feeling sleepiness, but at that time I was taking 8 tablets.
Also feeling stress daily and my schedule tend to be irregular were also the causes, I felt sleepiness during the daytime which might have a harmful effect on working.
Reducing 6 tablets to 4, my business starts going smoothly, and become mentally lighten, then no more sleepiness came to me. So, the quantity of taking was of course effecting but also disorder in autonomic nerves was the reason why I felt that much sleepiness.
Please take care of you everyday rhythm and try out for the best fit way for taking “Ninnikudama”.
Since the best quantity and time to take depends on each customer, so it is difficult to say the determined way for this.
