Hey Guys
Had a couple questions 5-HTP does work but would taking everyday with no time lower my bodies production? Taking melatonin more than 3 days a week for several weeks can lead to your body not producing its own, some people also suggest not taking l-dopa frequently for the same reason, does this also apply to 5-HTP.?? If I wanted to take something everyday too just increase my over all sense of well-being would I be better off just taking extra l-trypthofan everyday (since it's found in the protein we eat everyday) and occasionally take 5-htp for mood, appetite and relaxation/sleep. This would also be for my sister since she has suffered from depression in the past and I would like to help supplement with this stuff in order to eventually reduce her dosage and/or just enhance/supplement her sense well being Secondly L-tyrosine vs acetyl-l-tyrosine, I have adhd and I want to know which one would be better for daily use with no time off. And would I also benefit from taking L-Dopa occasionally. P.S I personally don't use melatonin and find i get a better sleep from "Night time teas" or "Herbal Insomnia pills" with similar herb extracts, I also only take it 3 times a week max (usually only once MAYBE twice) in order for me too keep a low tolerance and not negativly affect my natural ability to fall asleep. 31 Lays all in under 3 years

Ok the conversion process goes something like this:
Tryptophan ==> 5-HTP ==> Melatonin ==> Serotonin. The first 2 are amino acids, hence your body will convert them to the hormone, but will self regulate conversion. Now melatonin is a hormone, so it will also self regular conversion to serotonin, but at much higher concentrations. I would pick one and use it, melatonin being the most direct, and strongest punch. Also I woudn't use it in the day time, just at night when you are going to sleep. And only occasionally. Yes if you keep taking it constantly, the body will reduce its own production. Now the other stuff goes like this: Tyrosine ==> Adrenaline L-Dopa ==> Dopamine Tyrosine you're safe to use daily, as it will do the same thing, regulate how much gets converted. I'm not so sure about L-Dopa. It's probably not a safe thing to artificially keep dopamine levels high on purpose. Trump = Balls of Steel!!!

Nope not at all man you have it all backwards.. Tryphtophan gets converted to 5-htp which gets converted to serotonin which then gets converted into melotonin And phenyalanine converts to tyrosine (which can also be eaten) tyrosine converts to l-dopa then l-dopa into dopamine and dopamine into adrenaline...this is a fact look it up Also seen here from the book Ultramind Solution by Dr. Mark Hyman www.startgainingmomentum.com/wp-content/...jpg?resize=350%2C200 Thanks anyways man but unfortunately I won't be able to follow your tips, glad i could teach you something new Anyways any body else have advice? 31 Lays all in under 3 years

I didn't think the "Get Hung" guide would have girls eyeing my bulge. It did.
I didn't think that your exercise and diet advice would have girls checking me out. It did.
I DEFINITELY didn't think that your hair-loss prevention would fix my hairline. Not in a billion years. It mother fucking did. You saved me a crazy amount of time, a ton of money, unnecessary pain, and destroyed my #1 source of anxiety. DESTROYED IT.
Kratom is next!
To anyone reading this, follow through, read this material, APPLY this material, and enjoy life.
Thanks again Chris, life would suck without you.
