Presume this AI's sleep supp containing 5HTP and melatonin.
I'm not with AI on this one. If its very low dose melatonin =<0.3mg then okay.
AI have some very strong products, Stoked (which I use), Cycle Support (which I use), Perform, which has excellent reviews - if SunCloud says this stuff rocks you can't get better reps than that. The whole female libido booster concept has driven the forum crazy (or perhaps its just me
): "Hi darling fancy some green tea? Its from Malaysia you know"
"Oh okay what about trying this health supplement, its from the US you know"
Question So I support X-dreams with bromomelatonin but not a product with straight melatonin?
Yeah... the patent application of bromomelatonin explains how it achieves the deep sleep structure of benzos, without any of the problems benzos have (for most people they are more trouble than they are worth). Melatonin according to the patent can't do that. The theory is the deeper the sleep the more GH is released. Its not a bad theory at all.
My experience Deep sleep supps when they work give fantastic sleep and results. I just never took to melatonin.
Melatonin as an antiaging supplement has gold-plated reputation but most users dose low 0.25mg - I asked the Imminist forum this question. Most of them have been on melatonin for years.
Theory The idea of sleep supps is to speed regeneration/anabolism usually by increasing GH release. A possible drop in test is compensated by GH increase. There is no suggestion with melatonin GH is increased - the sleep structure doesn't change (bromomelatonin patent application). This is coupled with a link between high melatonin and low test levels. Somehow it appears the serotonin-melatonin pathway knocks the PT-axis.
Conclusion Using a serotinin booster (5HTP) and melatonin together ain't a good combo IMO. Sure if I wanted to live for ever - melatonin is the way to go. If I want muscle and keep muscle ...
Its just my opinion. Happy to be challenged and maybe the up and coming logs will prove me wrong.
