> Grape Seed OPCs
Which is the active ingrendient of Grape Seed ? I asked about it to the pharmacist and he asked me what I need in particular ...> Calcium
> Magnesium
> Lecithin
> Fish oilUff ... life is too short to try all this stuff !!! ;-) (I prefer to try them separately at first to understand if they affect me and how)
Ok, let's start from fish oil ... how much ?
are you taking it for ADHD, OCD or possibile BP ?> Not enough blood flowing about in your head.
You could bet I have that problem ;-)
> OK, you can try this... tyrosine when you wake up, maybe some tyrosine before lunch. Then take tryptophan with dinner and have some carbohydrates then (insulin assists tryptophan uptake throught the LNAAT).
I will try it. But why did you say that tyrosine washes out the benefits of triptophan ? Aren't the two paths completely indipendent ? (Of course I'm asking because I don't know)
> Is the "B12" cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin?
There is nothing more written on the label.
>
> > Is it worth to take it in your opinion ?> I'll need to think about it. It's not giving you B3 though. How many capsules do you take?
Just one per day. Is magnesium in it enough ?
I'll try to ask for B3 ... I wouldn't be astonished to discover is not OCT in Italy : oToday I took 1000 mg of tryptophan (500+500)
It helps with concentration but in a different way than tyrosine. I would say that tyrosine helps with not going out of the tracks but concentration (in reading) is better on tryptophane. So this could confirm the thesis that my concentration problem could be also serotonin-relatedDopamine AND serotonin related ? that is to say ADHD+OCD, simplicistically speaking ... I don't think I have particular problems with NE ... my energy level is normally normal while on 500mg of tyrosine is "more" than normal ... sorry if I have said some very stupid thing ;-)
"Side-effects" of triptophane: sleepiness, carbo-cravings, and ... surprise ... a little social phobia !
adjuntive questions: which is the average half life of tyrosine and triptophane ?
More than one poster said something like this: "I feel better *the day after* having taken supplements (if I skip the dose)" ... I find this generally true for me (not only for supplements but for almost everything I've taken) ... do you have any idea about this ?
Ok, thanks for all in advance ... I have sore throat again, hope it's not tryptophan ! (same problem with anafranil, maybe dued to salivar problems and consequent bladder infection)
Bye !
