7-keto products ie- DS lean xtreme, Genoyx abliderate advanced (topical)
SNS reduce XT

adaptogens - sensoril ashwagandha

Bcaa's are proven to lower cortisol too but what I personally found effective is this...

Now foods- phosphatidylserine (from sunflower lecithin) 2 caps, sensoril from Jarrow formulas, Primaforce's 5-htp and Now foods -Relora

relora,sensoril, and PS first thing in the AM and again 1 hour pre-gym

5-htp 1 cap pre-bedtime.

During this time I avoid any stimulants. Sensoril is real cheap but takes about 2 weeks for me to really notice and the rest I notice off the bat but effects are more pronounced over time. Haven't ran it in a while because I have a couple other cort lowering products to run first.

valerian root is good stuff too* but I've only used it before bed, never during the day.

*only the standardized versions.

Rhodiolo Rosea is great and well studied. Used in Europe for centuries before caught on here.

ZMA Nightcap is what I take before bed. Mellows me out great and has a bunch of goodies in it for nighttime recovery.

you can also try some chamomile tea from your grocery store..

phenibut definitely does the trick, but something you really can't take for extended periods of time without building up a tolerance.. good a few times a week. also if you take a high amount towards your bed time you could wake up groggy. good sleep tho.

Phenibut XT (nootropic) use sporadically to avoid withdrawal/tolerance.

i just got some picamillion powder 25 grams 98% the other day... can you take this stuff in the evening or even night time or would it effect sleep? you're dosing 150mg?

OP, since cortisol is the "stress hormone", have you considered something like a cort blocker? like Free Test or a product similar to this?

I've actually seen people use 50-75mg pre-bed for sleep.

1 gram of theanine? That's a lot how does that compare to 100mg? Obviously it would be stronger but does it just put you to sleep? Anyone know about ashwagandha?

Pronanolol does wonders for me with public speaking but not so much with psychological anxiety, mostly physical anxiety

I'm really shocked noone mentioned GABA..
GABA and valerian work together really well... also ginseng,, american or siberian are more calming,, ginseng is adaptogenic.. if you're stressed it relaxes you, if tired it gives you energy,,, something else I take is b-complex plus extra pantothenic acid (b5)
Google it,, don't take my word for it,,, I may be full of sh?t!!

GABA does not readily cross the BBB. Picamilon, on the other hand, exerts some pretty awesome mood and relaxation effects.

Glucose is definitely not the only thing that can cross the BBB...not even close. By that stance, lipophilic molecules don't exist ;).

I agree,,, just something I've read and run across in several different locations,,, vitamin c for example, I've read only crosses if the blood concentration is high enough to cause diarrhea .... also my arginine I take... I read it takes 20g or more daily to make it past the digestive juices and to pass the bbb.... really wish I knew more than I do,,, but I keep steady at studying

I've read this many times over the years and regardless, it still knocks me out. I can't take it in the day because it makes me slow and I just zone out. So, something is crossing something because it sure works.

Anecdotally I have experienced similar effects, but the key word is "readily." If you dose GABA at several grams, no doubt a marginal amount will get through. On the flip side, 150mg of picamilon pre-bed can knock me out and it's not even pure GABA.

1500mg of GABA taken with 1500 of valerian feels almost as good as a 10mg valium lol

Is there a concern of it turning into a stimulant after a certain amount, though? I've read up on it, and I keep seeing people complain of restless sleep after they take "too much". Is this similar to other nootropics in that you need to play around with the doses to avoid the opposite effect that you are trying to achieve?

I would love to try it if it is going to help my sleep. I tend to fall asleep easily and stay like that for about 3-4 hours and then I wake up for an hour or so and fight to get back to sleep. I've been like this for 10+ years.
