We are aware of potential issues with nickel contamination in olivine and will be testing/monitoring for it. Nickel is found in formations of olivine where nickel replaces some of the magnesium ions in their crystal lattices, however,

Yes, olivine is highly abundant, but due to lack of demand, most of it is currently staying underground. We seek to change that. We are looking for synergies like that, such as covering eroding beaches, breakwaters, etc with olivine. If you

Hi, co-founder of Project Vesta here. Based on a CO2 life cycle assessment, to minimize CO2 created during transport, the idea is to utilize mines within 300 km (186 mi) of the destination beach. Including mining, milling, and transport, we

Yes there is some oral bioavailability, but for non-stomach the standard BPC-157 is not optimal. SubQ injections closest to the site of injury are preferred. And what the bodybuilders are doing is useful because they find the effective huma

Nice find! Looks like they are exploring it for its copper chelating properties, specifically for use with Wilson's Disease (where copper accumulates). The study you link further addresses the issue with a molecule being "undrugga

Most pertinent quote here is that the only reason it was not pursued was because it is not orally bioavailable: "But because the drug comes as a liquid that needs to be injected every day, it was unlikely to be popular with patients wh

Good now via my response to your parent?

Hi, please check if my response to the parent (and other responses in the thread) answer your questions. As for your individual carbon profile, there are many calculators out there that can help you decide how much to offset. I am sure we w

The CO2 expenditure of the whole operation, including mining, milling, and transport, has been calculated to be about 4% of the amount of CO2 that is captured by the olivine. The financial cost of mining, milling, and transporting rock is a

Hi, yes the ecological considerations should be made carefully. Let's look at some examples though, if we were to offset 100% of the next 100 years of anthropogenic CO2 emissions with olivine, it would only change the Mg-concentration

Hi, thanks just working to apply the hard work of Schuiling and others. Glad to hear that the pricing makes sense to you as well. I love trees and suggest we plant as many of them as possible, but the problem with using them as a means of c

Great question, the total CO2 expenditure of the whole olivine mining, milling, and transport process has been calculated to be 4% of the amount of CO2 that is captured. In general, the cost of mining, milling and grinding 1 ton of rock in

Hi! You are correct in how common it is. We will be utilizing forsterite (MgSi4O2), the magnesium-rich form of olivine. We are looking to mine large dunite massifs as they are more than 90% olivine and close to the surface. And you are also

Hi, yes it does appear possible to not only increase the mining capacity, but that doing so will actually bring the price down to around $10-$12/ton. To do the total sequestration of anthropogenic (human-caused) CO2 release per year wi

I am working on a non-profit that is utilizing Schuiling's research and is actually getting this project done. We are scouting beaches right now for a "wiggle" tank, which is a sort of see-saw like device where we can gather

Yes typical dosing ratio is 1:2 caffeine:theanine. With typical dosing being 100mg caffeine:200 mg l-theanine You can buy l-theanine pills and take it with coffee. If you'd like it from nature, Matcha has the highest L-theanine content

Love this study, thanks for reminding me that there are no randomised controlled trials of people using parachutes when they jump out of planes. I guess everyone should stop using parachutes then...

Just because there aren't studies on something does not mean it is not true. Science lags, and citizen scientists are left to explore and confer with each other to find what works and what does not. It is ignorant to ignore and belittl

I actually designed one of these with the opposite mindset for a longevity researcher friend of mine. It was her 30th birthday and I was unable to attend, so I told her I would make sure to attend her 130th birthday instead and I gifted her

When you look at the equation of what you do with your life it starts to become more of an imperative to work on ending aging because if that is solved it gives you an infinite or at least much longer time to work on whatever else you want.

You can complain about this, but I have recently bought two pairs of headphones, LG tones and JayBirds, and they are both bluetooth. I really do not see myself going back to wired headphones ever again, so this move is pretty timely.

Your car would be able to drive home by itself after dropping you off... Or, if you removed your person belongings, it could log into a ride service pool and generate revenue while you are out of town.
