    Warning To People Taking Lysine

    I started taking the amino acid l-lysine 2 years ago because I read it reduces anxiety, lowers serotonin, and lowers nitric oxide. It made me feel quite calm and happy when I began taking it, and it seemed to have no negative side effects whatsoever. I took about 6 grams daily, which is the...

    Why Does Lysine Give Me A Headache?

    When I begin to take lysine or increase my dosage, I get a headache. At first it's a mild headache all over and then it settles into one side of my sinuses, and not always the same side. Is this just the nature of beginning lysine? Or is something out of balance? Judging on past but brief...

    Lysine Increases My Muscle Mass

    Last year when I was losing weight and fixing my health, I experienced an effortless increase in my muscle mass. I've still maintained an appreciable amount but, in spite of finally adding strength training, noticed the muscle wasn't coming as easily as it had before. A few weeks ago I decided...

    Well Rounded Protein Intake?

    So I haven't looked into protein in depth before so maybe someone with more knowledge can help me. If you have milk, potatoes (a few times a week) and collagen/gelatin powder (1-2 tbspn a day) - is this well rounded adequate protein intake from a peat perspective? I have a low heart rate...

    Taurine: At High Doses, Could It Become Anxiogenic Instead Of Anxiolytic?

    Taurine (together with other things that are generally pro-GABA, anti-glutamate) has been mildly helpful to me in terms of nervous system agitation and insomnia. But I was reluctant to experiment with dosages higher than a gram or so until I discovered how far some of you are going with it...

    Do you guys think Taurine and Glycine use can cause GABA receptors downregulation?

    Hey fellas, I'm using Glycine, Taurine and Lysine at a dose of 3:2:2 grams x day each. More or less. Some days I change the ratios to see what happens. They indeed work. But I was wondering... Do you think they can down regulate GABA receptors ? Like, they create tolerance or withdrawal or...

    I just got my first order of Casein from Naked Protein. IT. IS. AMAZING. It tastes so good. There are no additives. It comes from good dairy (and they whey is from grass fed, so it has a lower tryptophan profile!). I highly recommend it. http://nkdnutrition.com/products/micell ... ein-powder...

    Lysine: Depression, Skin, Weight, Libido

    I thought I would post some more of my experience with Lysine. I have been taking it on and off for about the last six months. I usually take 500mg in the morning and 500 at night. Lysine competes with tryptophan in the body, and so it also reduces serotonin and nitric oxide. Reducing those...

    BCAA's causing a headache?

    Does anyone know why this would happen? I only take about 2.5 grams at a time, 3x a day? I will say that my temps have come up a bit and my mood is a bit better. But I wonder if I'm overdoing the BCAA's?
