@laowaihistorian@BasedBiohacker its not contradictory, his case is an almost picture book application scenario for ISRIB.
The other one is about an extreme scenario where the ISR is fundamental for the preservation of the system.
@agingroy orexin agonists do not reduce your need for sleep. The functional sleep dependency is rooted in infinitely more than just a fundamental „waking signal“.
All you would do is mask the symptoms of sleep deprivation to some extent, which is completely different
I'm experimenting with 5-MeO-DMT because it may be most underrated longevity molecule no one is talking about.
+ Accelerated neurogenesis: a single dose more than doubled brain cell proliferation and neuronal regeneration in the hippocampus within 12 hours, alongside measurable increases in synaptic density and firing frequency in rodent models.
+ Proteomic reorganization: in human cerebral organoids, 5-MeO-DMT triggers rapid proteomic shifts favoring cellular reorganization and synapse formation. Early evidence of structural brain renewal at the molecular level.
+ Default Mode Network reset: The DMN calcifies with age locking us into rigid, repetitive patterns of thought. 5-MeO-DMT disrupts these patterns, restoring bottom up connectivity between sensory and creative brain regions. A forced return to neurological flexibility and youthfulness.
+ Systemic anti-inflammation: suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-alpha) while upregulating IL-10, the anti-inflammatory signal. Mediated through the Sigma-1 receptor, suggesting a mechanism distinct from other psychedelics.
there must be a secret version of pinealon im unaware of. According to the anecdotes on X, it might as well cure cancer
while for me its really not more noticeable than my magnesium in most cases
(obv has nothing to do with actual efficacy)
Physical exertion on Pinealon feels unreal.
1hr45m of pickup basketball felt like a light 20-minute jog.
That matches the specific Pinealon research I’m referencing: Russian studies/reviews describe improved physical working capacity in athletes, plus better recovery-related physiology & reduced fatigue under stress, not just cognitive effects!
In other words, the most relevant signal here is not “more energy” in a stim-like sense but instead, it’s a weirdly lower perceived exertion for a hard session
If you want to recover from Benzodiazepines, the coughing medicine Ambroxol might be one of the best things you could try
Chronic benzo use does not merely downregulate GABAa receptors. It also interferes with the trafficking, expression and routing - basically, receptors are not just reduced in their number and sensitivity, but misrouted and placed in the wrong compartments/states
all of which must be addressed to regain function
Ambroxol
- releases GABAa receptors that were literally trapped physically
- restores proper synaptic placement and y2 subunit trafficking
- biases internalized receptors back towards recycling rather than destruction yielding greater functional GABAa surface expression again
a few examples of how it does this are its actuation of lysosomal exocytosis, inhibiting acid sphingomyelinase, being a chaperone for GCase, lysosomal biogenesis and so on
a special type of lavender oil called silexan can literally give you the same anti-anxiety effects as benzodiazepines
- all without the classic side effects (Addiction, Withdrawal, Dependency)
Silexan was compared directly to Lorazepam. After 6 weeks, the reduction in anxiety scores was nearly identical:
45% for Silexan - 46% for Lorazepam
It doesn't share the GABAergic activity, instead it inhibits VGCCs and interferes with 5ht1ar binding, which downstream basically lowers over excitation, inducing calming and anxiolytic effects
@punishedfounder@alejandrogenic@realestbeana talking about gaba glutamate imbalances is already revealing, l-theanine is merely the cherry on top. I think you forgot a bit too much about biochem
best way to waste your money.
If you want something somewhat effective that is OTC consider things such as
- PQQ
- Huperzine A
- cdp-choline
or rosa rugosa
Using Tudca on Trenbolone can damage your liver
Tren downregulates multiple liver transporters such as
- BSEP (moves bile acids out of hepatocytes)
- MRP2 (responsible for exporting waste, toxins, and things like anions (including trenbolone metabolites))
- MDR3 (exports phosphatidylcholine into bile to basically buffer bile acids)
furthermore, Tudca itself is a substrate for these transporters.
Since the hepatocyte can't export bile acids when Tren majorly reduced the availability of these exit transporters, TUDCA can start competing with toxic bile acids and metabolites for the remaining few exit nodes
This can potentially lead to a buildup of even more toxic bile acids in the liver, worsening liver stress and or injury
Tren also initiates polyamine synthesis which drains SAMe, which is required by PEMT to synthesize p-choline.
As mentioned prior to this, p-choline is crucial to buffer bile acids and the lack of it induces a shift towards a damaging unbuffered milieu
this can further lead to the liver downregulating NTCP, which TUDCA however, requires to enter the hepatocyte, further amplifying toxin buildup
here are a few ways for you to prevent this
- Sulforaphane: Nrf2 cascade starts MRP3/4 upregulation
- citicoline + Betaine/TMG + Creatine for methyl-sparing)
- PPARa activation which increases MDR3 expression
- Polyenylphosphatidylcholine which can bypass basically the entire synthesis process
- astaxanthine
- Obeticholic acid or CDCA for FXR agonism, tho Tren is a transagonist which may render it basically ineffective
Additionally, besides simply using lower (the usual 250mg) amounts, you can try to avoid the Cmax of both hitting the liver simultaneously to ensure they aren't hitting the same metabolic pathways or transporters at the exact same peak. Tho the effect is nothing to rely on and limited
the best way is to simply not exceed doses of 250-500mg, which pretty much avoids this entirely. This mostly serves the purpose of preventing people from upping their Tudca dose on toxic compounds, thinking they will get more protection.
Low dose DNP is an antioxidant and can be beneficial for your health - yes the fat burner DNP
at low doses, it actually
- reduced ROS
- improve insulin sensitivity
- increase autophagy & mitophagy
while even showing neuroprotective properties
crucially, you can literally die if you use it improperly
if you want to grow taller and prevent growth plate closure, then inosine will be one of the best supplements you can take
Inosine is an endogenous adenosine metabolite that binds A2A receptors with a half-life of 15h vs. adenosine's mere minutes
It controls multiple pathways that play into growth plate closure since A2ARs downregulate p53, a key driver of cell cycle arrest, apoptosis & cellular senescence
- Inosine additionally suppresses premature stem cell exhaustion, a key driver of GP senescence and activates anti-apoptotic survival programs in chondrocytes to preserve continuous growth support
- it even upregulates Δ133p53a, which is a negative p53 splice variant - theoretically making chondrocytes more stress-resistant while preserving PTHP+ stem cell proliferation in the resting zone
➣ considering that its literally a supplement, inosine can definitely be an underrated lever for height growth.
It requires re-dosing it multiple times a day tho
@aestheticprimal and then it goes to the amygdala instead, put you into a state of amygdala overdrive and you rip your work apart and annihilate your setup out of rage
Most people are massively impairing their performance and potential with their Nootropic and peptide stacks, its perplexing
the amount of compounds I see people throwing at themselves because they heard they were good, thinking they are making a generational transformation while damaging their progress is unfathomable
Performance enhancement and optimization is a highly individual endeavor. You need something completely different than the guy next to you
running uncalibrated protocols shows that most of the space has not actually understood how this should be approached
