Why are we stimulating GH release prior to bed when sleep is naturally GH releasing?
Could be wasting a Powerfull dose?

because u r trying to increase whatever that natural level of GH release is....
But is this an optimal time considering you'll get some release anyway?
My thinking is that you may get more bang for tha buck if you take at other times throughout tha day when GH generally isn't released... away from your workout, away from bedtime.
I completely agree. :cheers:It makes sense to me to dose according to directions, pre-exercise and before bedtime, in order to boost your normal production to higher than normal levels while at the same time staying within the natural framework of hormonal events.
My line of thinking would be that if you take powerfull during periods that you don't normally produce GH (i.e. besides workout and sleep) you run the risk of disrupting your naturally occurring release patterns and thus the times such as sleep when your body would be used to normally producing GH could be adversely affected.
In other words, you would be "robbing Peter to pay Paul".

This would seem to be the best way to avoid running contrary to your body's natural production patterns, and risking a homeostatic event that runs against what you are trying to accomplish. I feel that attempting to stimulate a significant GH release during a time that your body knows it shouldn't be releasing GH in significant amounts will most assuredly cause your system to reel things back in.
If you don't want to end up drowsy with a daytime dose, take it with a stim. Something like 1 RPM cap and a few Powerfull caps.
I can definately attest to the sleep benefits, someone mentioned their sleep being deep enough to sleep through alarms... I have found the exact opposite, I naturally wake up after less hours of sleep than I was planning but completely refreshed which makes me believe that the sleep I am getting is just incredibly deep and dense in HGHThe HGH peak on PowerFULL is significant.
Just speaking from years of personal use and years of consumer feedback. The waking up fresh from the deep deep sleep from PowerFULL is indirect evidence that taking PowerFULL before bed provides a significant HGH surge over just natural nocturnal production.
Whether it delivers on the GH or not, I found it delivered quality sleep on reduced hours or broken sleep over a 6 month period - believe me, I had newborn twins at the time. PowerFull protected my sanity!I can definately attest to the sleep benefits, someone mentioned their sleep being deep enough to sleep through alarms...

Would this hold true or a common practice for injecting as well?
Just curious, really I have no idea...
As far as issues with food, it's not a problem for me. I prescribe to Norton style of eating... every 4 hours. I've always done this since day 1 and has recently validated my success.
As far as maximizing pre-bed. I'm still young, not old like Jacob. Maybe when I get to his age I'll reconsider...
Tha only reason I ask is because I've been playing around with times/dosages and what I suggest seems to be working well.
Whereas HGH would be the equivalent of gasoline in your car, Powerful would be more like nitrous oxide- Good for a boost, but not something you replace gasoline with all together.

Too much NOS and you could blow a head gasket or piston rod.
I would consider starting with three capsules pre-bed, if you want to dose it just once a day. After a week or two, you may try four, although I would be hesitant to recommend that much at once. If you ever try four pre-bed, a five-day-on-two-day-off regimen is certainly useful, in my opinion.I am thinking of just taking it pre-bed (4caps old formula) as my only daily dosage during PCT for increased test and GH.
I have one bottle super filled with part of another left over and figure I have 4-5 caps a day to use...
Does this sound like a good way to do it?
As far as I recall, dopamine has been shown to not only regulate sleep-wake cycles, but also regulate brain functions. Low dopamine levels create sleep abnormalities, quite apart from the disruption in the signalling processes between neural cells. It is in fact the insufficient dopamine synthesis in Parkinson's disease that is responsible for sleep abnormalities in such patients. So, dopamine is necessary and important for sleep.the thing i dont understand about powerfull before bed is its supposed effects on dopamine. isnt raising dopamine before bed usually a bad idea?
Dopamine also is what keeps us alert and energized. This is why amphetamines keep us up and also why tyrosine is such a big preworkout supp. You know that feeling when you pull an all nighter and you feel tired but at the same time have a certain kind of energy? That's dopamine. Also USP claims that at the same time powerfull also boosts serotonin, while research shows that an increase in dopamine will DECREASE serotonin and vice versa.As far as I recall, dopamine has been shown to not only regulate sleep-wake cycles, but also regulate brain functions.

As you know, the pathways and actions of neurotransmitters, whether they are tyrosine-derived, serotonin-derived, or not, are significantly more complex than a mutual bidirectional dopamine-serotonin antagonism. In terms of PowerFULL or dopamine, if you get the “GH side of it”, as you put it, then you get the entire picture! PowerFULL elicits elevated growth-hormone production via a dopaminergic pathway. As you know, several classes of agents stimulate or inhibit growth-hormone secretion. In particular, the hypothalamic action of dopamine leads to an inhibition of somatostatin, allowing Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) to induce growth hormone secretions (more later). Furthermore, amines, whether catecholamines (for example, dopamine) or indolamines (for example, serotonin), can promote growth hormone secretion via alpha adrenergic stimulation (for catecholamines), beta-adrenergic inhibition (for catecholamines), dopaminergic stimulation (for catecholamines), or serotoninergic stimulation (for indolamines). The reverse cases (beta-adrenergic stimulation, alpha-adrenergic inhibition, dopamine inhibition, and serotonin inhibition) may lead to inhibition of growth-hormone release. Other factors that may stimulate growth-hormone secretion may include amino acids, the condition of hypoglycaemia, exercise, sleep, certain hormones, and so on. Of course, all these agents do not produce an equal boost in growth hormone. Dopamine, for instance, is known to be a potent growth-hormone agonist. PowerFULL uses this mechanism. Taken pre-bed, the potent GH-stimulating effects ensure a deep, restful sleep, and promotes superior repair of cellular damage. Taken pre-workout in a fasted state, growth-hormone release is equally induced, and acts in concert with the growth-hormone produced by exercise. This PowerFULL-induced growth-hormone surge pre-workout may produce lethargy in some users, requiring the simultaneous supplementation with a smooth-acting stimulant to ensure high motivation, concentration, and a laser-like focus during workout. So, PowerFULL, via its dopaminergic action, in this case, is extremely useful pre-workout and pre-bed.Dopamine also is what keeps us alert and energized. This is why amphetamines keep us up and also why tyrosine is such a big preworkout supp. You know that feeling when you pull an all nighter and you feel tired but at the same time have a certain kind of energy?

Im also not clear as to how any supplement that has a significant effect in the brain could be benificial both preworkout and before bed. I get the GH side of it, but if it gives you such a good night's sleep which makes some drowsy in the morning (me included), why would this be something you want in your body before an intense workout?
