A month seems like a fair trail to me.
The main improvement I saw was in sleep, anxiety, and concentration.
Different symptoms may respond differently.
Not trying to say everbody will respond. Just because it has worked for me doesn't mean it will for everbody.
That being said, I do think that even in the absence of a robust effect, the brain could still benifit from a preventitive or maintainance effects from it.
Exercise seems to significantly slow the progression of both Huntintons and Parkinsons diseases.
Exercising mice seem to be almost completely immune to the destructive effects of the potent neurotoxin MTPT, which is proposed to be a result of the elevated levels of the neuroprotective/neurotrophic protein BDNF.
