Bcat,
Sorry for the delay. I use the Bio-chem Green tea extract and I believe you can purchase it at Iherb. It provides 90mg of ECGC per tablet. White label with green lettering.
I take one to three tablet every morning with 5 to 10 mg of NADH. You have to judge which combination works for you. The more ECGC the higher the effect of COMT inhibition hence the more jittery...you may feel. I have been taking 3 tablets totaling 270 ECGC/10mg of NADH first thing in the morning for the last couple of days and it appears to be a bit heavy. Yet I still sleep real well........which is not like me... any kind of stimulate..coffee at 4 pm and I am half awake all night.
It can have an accumulative effect from day to day use...the extract. I have been experimenting with this for about a week now and have reduced the ECGC to one tablet (90mg ECGC) for today along with the NADH 10mg. I have felt wonderful all day with no appetite but this is a day to day thing....again I am fine tuning...
MAO inhibition or COMT inhibition is most likely the best way to enhance neurotransmitters and L-dopa. This appears to be a natural way.
If you would care to try I would advise dropping 1 tablet of this extract and 5 mg of NADH on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and wait awhile... and go from there.....
PS: I assume the COMT inhibition will wane after a while and require more extract so I would stagger the dose, least this is my plan. The body has a way of compensating for the comt inhibition my guess is by picking up the MAO.
