I used to take 5HTP.
The girl on the counter in Holland & Barrett would always smile approvingly so I'm guessing she took it too. |

I've gotta say I'm pretty sceptical of this stuff both based on how I think it'd work in theory and from what I've observed and my friends have observered. On the surface, something naturally occuring in your brain is not in fact better to take than something but worse, since if the brain detects it has too much of it then it'll stop producing as much and or downregulate the receptors that detect it's presence. Wheras with something artificial it works in parallel with the existing regulatory systems. This certainly seems to be the case with melatonin, after taking it every night for a while people find it hard to get to sleep without it, wheras this effect is far less pronounced if they're using alcohol or some sortof other artificial depressant/hypnotic.
It also has some unpleasant side effects in the morning sometimes, which for somee people leaves them feeling drained and sleep even after 8 hours of sleep. If I had a choice I'd go for a combination of either minor opiates or alcohol depending on how you're feeling on the particular night. It won't leave you feeling drained in the morning. Melatonin is pretty overrated.

I've always held the belief that you don't need supplements. People are always looking for a pill to fix or improve themselves. If you can find a supplement to reduce your stupidity I think that's great. |
What a luddite view. Drugs are like tools, in certain circumstances they improve your functioning for specific tasks. If I've had a really busy day and my mind's racing then I'm simply not going to get to sleep as quickly if I don't have alcohol. There's no way around the fact that you can't get the same effect from anything else but drug x in certain circumstances. |

i would say they are more gimmicks marketed as tools that if one were to research would find ridiculously small ing gains that to even argue their merit even if they might work is like saying a placebo would also work.
Unless you have streamlined your life for maximum learning or whatever the it is you are trying to do, you really think the 0.5% in consolidating memory while sleeping is going to change anything at all ?
These are modern day self help books. You won't to stop sucking. Work at it. |

Melatonin doesn't actually help you sleep like a sleeping pill though. It's more beneficial to say, shift workers, who have interrupted sleep cycles. Melatonin helps you to have deeper, longer sleeps and is supposed to help set your circadian rhythm, but it has to be taken over time for it to be effective. There is a lot of conflicting evidence with regards to it's efficacy. |
Informative, thanks. |

| What about Prolensis? Test booster and estrogen reducer at the same time. |

| marijuana is known to help grow new brain cells/restore brain damage. |

a study showing possible growth does not mean that the particular drug is known for that. All of this is preliminary and no studies so far show how much and if it works on humans.
Methamphetamine is known for helping pilots which number in so few numbers that they are technically more rare than neuroscientists.
Your agenda is to state marijuana is great because of that. Well so is meth apparently.
you see the difference in phrasing something that implies something that isn't true. |
