Re: melatonin

I doubt that there is any problems from taking it long term. I think the body produces it from serotonin, by cleaving off a couple methyl groups. I take it along with tryptophan and gaba. I ran out of melatonin about a month ago and havent taken any and am sleeping just as good with just tryptophan. Some nights I forget the tryptophan and still sleep good so I who knows. lol

Re: melatonin

Guns, I use melatonin, gaba and 500 mg of magnesium. Gaba also encourages the body to produce GH. It also helps calm my mind for sleep. 5 grams ED in an empty stomach before bed with mag and melatonin.

"Results: At rest, GABA ingestion elevated both irGH and ifGH compared with placebo. Specifically, peak concentrations of both hormones were elevated by about 400%, and the area under the curve (AUC) was elevated by about 375%"

yessir, been using it for that for years. it does a hell of a job calming the brain and helping you relax. best part is you dont feel like dog shit when you wake up the next day. i grab the powder from true nutrition most of the time and do 4-5g just like you do

Re: melatonin

Yeah guns, I buy a half kilo from bulk supps and it works wonders. Again, only really helps on an empty stomach for me.

Melatonin is not just a sleep aid as DW said.

Yes, you can get some benefits from 200+- mg ed but I have found 3-5 grams does me right.
