Magnolia Bark and Physical Addiction
Original post in this thread

So I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on the safety of regular use of magnolia bark, especially around here. The two view points I've seen here I could summarize as:
1. Magnolia bark is an allosteric modulator of GABAA similar to benzodiazepenes and as with all GABAA modulators it's a question of when dependence will arise.
2. GABA system is complex and it isn't as simple as (1).
I find myself quite worried about what's true here, as I'm trying to determine whether NootropicsDepot's sleep support is actually safe to take daily. I also don't have enough skill in reading academic paper on the subject to parse exactly the method of action and how it might differ from benzos, for example.
Does anyone here with perhaps more of a trained caliber in parsing this kind of information have any ideas?

I see. Probably because of the possible hepatoxicity. Shame :/
If only a team with a fancy lab would make a safer version of it.
I find the idea of a non-addictive benzo really interesting. What's your take on selank?
Is there anything you suggest for social anxiety? I find phenylpiracetam+caffeine+agmatine works really well, but since you can only use it once every few days, sometimes I feel like I have to resort to alcohol. Even using it on rare occasions feels dirty to me, I need serious help.
I tried using kava but it doesn't help, it just makes me feel depressed.

Selank is really cool. We used to sell a lot of it on Ceretropic, and we developed the enhanced versions of N-Acetyl Selank and N-Acetyl Selank Amidate. I personally preferred the Semax versions, but I like stimulating things.
