morbide Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Noticed today that my proteinpowder contains 0,4g l-tryptophan per dl. Is this any good or is it bad? Since l-tryptophan increases serotonin, or so it says on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morbide Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 That's what i thought, been anxious for two days ever since i read that l-tryptophan increases serotonine. Silly obsessive thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammywalker2009 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah and anxiety pretty much makes symptoms worse man so it could be like a catch 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbide Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any thoughts about l-glutamine anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketusa Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have a whole thing of L-Glutamine, so im gonna try it for a week or two and get back to you! EDIT: Read this about BCAA's just now. Notice the neurotransmitter bit. . . . . As I stated earlier on this thread, a guy online was reportedly cured over a few months of daily BCAA supplementation. His doctor told him what the link below basically states. . . . . Well, I say cured. . . He said it was a reduction in the severity of symptoms. Took about three months, and six months in he is still seeing positive results, albeit much more slowly. http://www.livestron...fect-the-brain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I hope you don't already have anxiety. ....Eating KFC, Burger King, or Chinese food [for a week] would probably have the same effect. Or go buy a shaker-full of Accent. ....Actually let me know how it goes, i'm kind of interested. In human blood, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid. [http://en.wikipedia....ki/Glutamine] I would take B6 with it also because Glutamates + B6 = GABA You may be right because it seems to be more of the enzymes breaking down/regulating/made from glutamate and producing GABA. Anyone know something about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 There is no recommended daily allowance for glutamine, because your body can make enough to meet its needs, according to Tufts Medical Center. ..[worth a shot though] Clinical Evidence A clinical study on hospitalized patients undergoing marrow transplantation evaluated the impact of glutamine supplementation on a number of mood factors, including anxiety, tension, fatigue, depression and confusion. The results of this study, published in the September 1993 issue of the "Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition," an international, peer-reviewed journal of nutrition and metabolism, found that patients receiving the supplementation experienced a significant improvement in all measured mood symptoms. Considerations While glutamine supplementation may help certain symptoms of anxiety, there's not enough clinical evidence to unequivocally prove its benefits. You should never use a dietary supplement as a replacement for conventional medical treatment. Do not attempt to self-treat or diagnose your symptoms. Consult your doctor if you think you have an anxiety disorder. According to Tufts Medical Center, glutamine is thought to be safe in dosages up to 14 g per day. However, as with any dietary supplement, you should inform your doctor if you choose to use glutamine. http://www.livestron.../#ixzz2ArZtXv6q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbide Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I have loads of B6 at home so i might give it a try. And mike, the guy who noticed improvement from BCAA, did he suffer from HPPD, PMA or just visual snow? Either case i'll buy some tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbide Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Oh and guys, i've been taking a ZMA supplement every night for about a week (600mg magnesium, not sure about the amount of zink and b6) and my cev's when i try to sleep are completely gone. A nice temporary relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrade Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Just be careful with too much B6 [may consider cutting the pill in half in the future]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketusa Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Morbide, he suffered from HPPD. As for his symptoms, i'm not quite sure on specifics. Took some L-Glutamine last night, definentely helped with anxiety, no doubt about it. Very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbide Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Great! I'm gonna buy a bcaa supplement that has all the "L-" amino acids and l-glutamine, supposed to give pretty good results with exercising, two birds in one pill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketusa Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I would be careful with L Glutamine. I took a large dose last night and today I feel weird as shit. Could be a bit of derealization, but considering I haven't had any form of that in months i'm not so sure. I think it hurt my HPPD. Just feel a little trippy, and head rushy.
