I don't know why people use cilantro. You can't manage doses as easy as you can with ALA. ALA is scientifically proven to cross the blood-brain barrier. Little testing outside of anecdotal evidence is available on Cilantro.

The reality is - all of the cases of people I've seen get better is when they used ALA. And you'll never know how well you can tolerate it unless you try it. I tolerate it just fine - I'm on 50mg doses and have no problems. 90% of people can tolerate it just fine.
