Melatonin only works for those with low levels or a shifted circadian rhythm. It's not something people should treat as a universal sleep aid. For many people, things that hit GABA or modulate glutamate work better for s

Yeah, that's pretty common. A lot of people are using melatonin that probably have no business doing so.

Many people are using melatonin that probably shouldn't be. It's useful for people traveling that need to get their circadian rhythm back into balance, or those with weird work schedules that sleep at non-standard times

Agmatine sulfate, nobiletin, and polygala are a few that do. Magnesium is another good idea, as many Americans are deficient. Magnesium blocks glutamate from entering cells that have not depolarized, by sitting in the io

Matcha contains a lot of things. This includes epicatechin (EC), epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). It also contains the phenolics gallic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic ac

Apigenin isn't the most BBB permeable, but it can reach the brain. It can also act systemically to signal via the gut-brain-axis. Also, flavonoids become significantly more bioavailable in combination with each other. So

Melatonin works fine orally. It is not a protein. It's a much smaller organic molecule based around a tryptamine structure.

My pleasure! >Is there a reason that EGCG is the only epigallocatechin marketed? I seem to get the polar opposite response from EGCG extracts than what I get from matcha so I assume epigallocatechin's might be the wrong

Ahh yeah, I forgot about taurine. It's another great one.

I personally take epicatechin, EGCG, quercetin, and hesperidin everyday myself. I love the effects. I think you should consider the following stack. * EGCG * Epicatechin * Quercetin * Hesperidin * Andrographis * Cistanc

It drastically reduces blood pressure in hypertensive and pre-hypertensive subjects. This means that it lowers blood pressure if it is already too high. It does not have that effect on normal people.

Wow, that's a big shift. Glad you are keeping it under control with your stack. That will wreak havoc on most people.

I hadn't even thought about that, but I guess QC issues are a thing in other industries, too. Are there any companies out there doing lab testing on their IR lights to prove to people that the correct frequencies are com

I agree. I would trust Philips' quality control more than a generic Chinese brand, for sure.

The ones I mentioned above would be a good place to start. Apigenin and 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone. You can actually take them with chamomile tea for a good combined effect.
