I haven't noticed any negative effects on my ultradian rhythms, but I do use the rhythmic effect to help me fall asleep or get some rest.
For example, if I feel like I'm bottoming out on a given cycle, I'll exaggerate my de-energizing response in order to bring the right momentum into the adjustment to the energy change. I might gently slump over in my chair, open my mouth, breathe deeply, and meditate for a few seconds before calmly deciding what to do--a bit of an overreact to help me model and effect the mental transition.
The opposite helps when I'm headed energy-upward on such a cycle.
In any case, if I'm feeling off (relative to the rhythm) I tend to set ultradian-style timers, e.g. building on the strengths of a 90-minute cycle effect by delaying important plans or decisions for 15 minutes to see if cycle position helps.
I hear you on the dosage. In case it helps, the brand I use are "Sundown" and the tablets are really inexpensive.
