Hi guys,
Do you have any experience with the following supps?
1. gotu kola and oleamide: which is the best one for improving sleep quality? I'm having too much REM sleep and not enough deep sleep. I'm going to combine them with lemon balm
2. berberine: is it true that it could cause constipation? Could it drop blood glucose too low and cause hypoglicemia after extended usage?
Hope that also /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb would chime in :)
Thanks a lot!

1) That depends on the person. Some swear by both of them, and other people get no or slightly opposite effects. I'd say for me personally oleamide would combine best with lemon balm for deep sleep.
2) Not in my experience for either. Berberine has a unique way of regulating blood sugar.
So berberine is not like a sledge hammer like Metformin is. It's a much more natural way of helping normalize glucose levels, by increasing expression of the insulin receptors and sensitizing your body to it. Moreover, it is much safer and leads to longer-lasting improvements to the body's ability to regulate blood sugar.
