Please bare with me I'm kind of slow. I'm not intellectually Advanced like most people here.

So apparently the purpose behind taking an antacid is to stop the nitrite from converting into nitrate, salt, and nitric oxide.

But apparently nitric Oxide is a vasodilator and will help you pass our or lose consciousness quicker. Which supposedly will make it more peaceful.

What do you think the pros and cons of taking it and not taking it would be? I know I pretty much answered my own question I just want to get other people's opinions and maybe somebody who's educated on this can explain. Thank you.

You can use an acid reducer in the SN regimen, but is not mandatory. Acid reducers can be an antacid (neutralizes acid already in stomach) or an H2 antagonist (lowers production of new acid).

It is advised to use either an antacid or an H2 antagonist. One of the 2, not both.

Stuff with Magnesium Hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia, Maalox, Mylanta) are considered a useful antacid, but tums can be used too.

The H2 antagonist to be used could be Cimetidine (Tagamet), Ranitidine (Zantac), or Famotidine (Pepcid).

In the updated version it is not advised.
Thanks for your help. ♡ Honestly doesn't answer the questions though.. I have milk of magnesia and Famotidine. I was aware of its importance until the latest update now i don't know what to think.

In the May version it is mentioned that they are not recommended.
i think it doesn't matter that much. many members of this died using h2 blocker or some other antacid.

Remember you're taking 20 - 25 grams of SN. Even without an acid reducer your stomach/enzymes etc. cannot convert the entire amount of Nitrite into Nitrate/Salt/N.Oxide. I think you should stick to your original plan. It can't hurt.

I'm aware. I asked the question specifically because I'm trying to get answers and people's perspective on it.

Yeah but many sources are mentioning that not taking the h2/antacid can help speed up the time to unconsciousness because of the nitric oxide. I'm just wondering if there would be any negative affects of not taking one of those like stomach pains or something from the nitric oxide. Idk how this stiff works.

I'm puzzled by this as well.
