any thoughts on adding Rikkunshito to the product or coming out with a solo? The only other company making a solo Rikkunshito appears to have gone the way of the dodo bird (primeval)
This stuff is a game changer for sleep!
I just received mine in the mail. Normally I take 2gm of gaba before bed. Would this be ok to stack?

Very possible lolYou wouldn't happen to be referring to the sudden trend of new posters with very few posts, almost all of which are on a certain subject would you?![]()
Steve, any benefit to splitting it up throughout the day? Last night I went to bed at 930 and woke up zonked at 530am. It definitely helps with sleep but i'm almost a little too groggy. WOuld there still be benefits to 2 mid day two at night?
Absolutely.You can absolutely space the dosage out twice per day. On the suggested use, we suggest 4 capsules per day and that you can take 4 capsules before bedtime or 2 capsules twice per day.
A lot of people like the 2 caps twice per day approach because they feel like it really helps them with mood during the day.
Also, @Danes had a good point earlier in this thread in that a dose before your workout could have a good gh benefit.

Need to write a review, but returned to 4 caps at night and legit feel like I am living two lives now. One in the dream world and one in the waking world. My dreams are almost scary in their depth.![]()
Something I didn't think I needed but have played with dosing with the free bottle that was included with the 6 pack of pepti plex. Tried at different times random days seeing what and if i could tell a difference. No vivid dreams for me but can tell you sleep and rejuvenation has been amazing, even on 4 hours of sleep not tired or groggy whatsoever.
I suffer with night terrors 3 to 4 times a week (rather not go into great details), I am on medication from the doctor, have tried alot of medications. I do get some sleep but most mornings I wake up groggy and unmotivated for most of the time. Can say now that I have been growth factor for almost 4 weeks straight night terrors occur maybe 1 to 2 times a week and overall sleep quality is 10/10. So took advantage of the bf sale at sns and stocked up.
I was actually mostly interested in it as a replacement for reglanFeedback on Growth Factor XT has been incredible and people are loving it, and so many have even shown where it has improved their sleep and recovery scores. So its definitely not a formula that I would change anything about.
I'm honestly not a fan of Rikkunshito. I've always thought it was overhyped and that the way the sales pitch was presented on it didn't line up exactly with real world science and application, like some took some serious liberties with it. For example, some companies made it out like its a popular ingredient in other countries for growth hormone purposes and that is false; it is most popular for helping with upper GI issues.
Also, there was marketing behind it as increasing appetite - which in the real world it didn't seem to do very well in healthy adult populations, BUT the fact that it was marketed that way would be a deterrent for many as a lot of people wouldn't take it because of that.
If I ever offered it, and this is the first time I've ever been asked about it that I can remember, it would likely be as a single ingredient product because its not one that I could honestly ever suggest over other items that we offer and I would have a hard time even promoting it. It would be one where it would be - okay, here it is for the people that asked - but one I couldn't really get behind telling people to take.
I really do appreciate the question and suggestion though. I'm always open to ideas.

Any synergistic effect in stacking Mk677 with Max Growth, or just run them in separate cycles?
Sorry my bad, meant Growth Factor.I'm confused - by Max Growth, did you mean Growth Factor XT?
Growth Factor XT is a great product and if you make a personal choice to take MK677, then yes, you could take it with Growth Factor XT if you wanted to.
I'm careful with my wording there bc I would never suggest anyone to take MK677, but if they chose to, they could stack it with Growth Factor XT.
I wanted to let everyone know that we added a discounted multi-pack to the website for Optimize-T & Growth Factor XT.

Good timing on reviving this thread as I was just looking into Growth Factor XT. Are there any new updates from anyone that specifically use it for sleep (in particular, frequently waking up)?
Edit: never mind, I just saw some recent feedback in the new sleep thread.
@sns8778 How does growth factor XT compare to Sleep Assist XT? I want better sleep, but also to improve recovery.
Thank you. I think I'll give it (along with stress and anxiety support for daytime use) a try. Really need to get these sleep and anxiety issues under control...It definitely has helped me wake up less during the night. And also I feel a lot more refreshed waking up. I don’t get enough sleep to begin with, so that’s a huge plus.

Sounds good, thank you. I'll start with two before bed and increase from there if needed. I also grabbed some KannaEase based on previous posts of yours (combining it with the stress and anxiety support).I think you’ll really like it.
I take 1 Stress and Anxiety Support twice a day every day and then more if needed.
I have been doing all 4 Growth Factor XT caps before bedtime, but a lot of people like the relaxation of doing 2 earlier in day and 2 before bedtime. So you may could try it both ways and see which way helps you the most.

Sounds good. I'll probably go straight to 4 before bed, and the stress/anxiety support and Kanna probably twice during the daytime because help from wanting to slap others sounds like what I need...For Growth Factor XT, I would do 4 total per day - its just whether you take all 4 before bed or take 2 twice per day.
I hope you'll like KannaEase. It really helps me a lot. I take 1 per day every day, and sometimes take an additional one - which I'm pretty sure helps keep me from slapping people sometimes.

I appreciate the feedback/advice.
LOL! Yeah, I can see why you sent her some after that. I'm a little surprised she only bought 2 years worth.I look forward to your feedback. I hope that you'll enjoy it.
Funny story on the KannaEase and wanting to slap people around - last year, I got an email from a lady that was really upset when we ran out of stock of KannaEase. I replied and told her it would be back in within a few weeks and I was sorry for the inconvenience. She emailed me back that I didn't understand, if she ran out she was either going to kill her husband or he had to come stay with us until we got it back in for her. This was like a non-emoji, no lol, like pissed type email - one of the only times I've ever took a personal bottle and dumped pills into a ziplock to send someone I didn't know lol. As soon as it came back in, she bought 2 years worth.

How’s that husband holding up now?![]()
Dipping into her stashe to survive.
It really is a great supplement. I've been taking it since a couple days after I posted (twice daily) and love it. The initial 60 minutes or so was a bit too stimulating (so I've been adding just 100 mg of L-Theanine to offset that) but after that it provides a nice, calm mood.Pretty funny - but when we restocked on it recently, I had emailed her to tell her we got a new batch in. We hadn't run out, I just let her know because she had bought so much of it that I wanted to let her know we had more with longer dates since it had just come back in stock, and she had emailed me that she makes her husband take it now too, so she bought another 2 years worth.
It's a funny story the way it all went about happening, but I really am glad that its helping both of them.
Thoughts on kannase... mood boost, better focus, better sleep? Thank you. Sure one of many things my wife could benefit from.
I never thought to try the Kanna before bed. Thinking/worrying too much before bed is my biggest issue for sleep. Maybe I'll give that a try and add a third dose before bed...For me, definitely better mood and focus. It helps me a lot with stress and anxiety, especially in my case where I get overwhelmed easily and my body tends to almost shut down - like I know what I want to do, but the anxiety won't let me do it. KannaEase helps me power through it and continue to get things done and helps me be calmer. It also helps me not get frustrated as easily and not want to slap people.
It doesn't make me sleepy, but it does help me sleep in the sense that I will take one at night if my mind is racing and I can't get it to calm down and let me sleep.
My daily stress and anxiety stack is 1 Stress & Anxiety Support twice per day and 1 KannaEase daily. For me, the addition to KannaEase has kind of a natural antidepressant type benefit.
Then I'll take an additional Stress & Anxiety Support &/or KannaEase if needed.

I still need to try the growth factor XT I ordered. I didn't want to try too many new things at once and the Kanna has been working so well, that I don't want to mess with that.
Is the green tea extract in growth factor xt safe for the liver?
