    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    Do search here on ALCAR and at www.AvantLabs.com's forum. Also, do a search on l-theanine at www.AvantLabs.com. Make sure you do a search from the beginning of AvantLabs, not just the last 30 days. You will find LOTS of reading material. In fact, you will see that there is simply too much...

    Soy absorbability

    If anything, soy protein seems to be good. I am planning to try it -- lately I have not been taking enough, so I am planning to use soy. I won't cite any pubmed study abstracts here unless someone asks for one, but from what I have seen, one can summarize the benefits as follows: (1) SPI...

    micellar casein vs calcium caseinate

    The molecular structure of miscellar casein forms a "flower" shape. To get this requires some filtering, which adds to the cost. From what I have read/heard, its effectiveness of miscellar casein is not much different from that of calcium caseinate, which in turn is equivalent to...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    There has been nothing to indicate long-term ill effects. But this is not to say there isn't one, there has not been sufficient feedbac/study on it. The best it can be said is that there has not been any reported ill-effects in the studies I have seen, for the INDIVIDUAL ingredients (ALCAR or...

    Follow-up to ALCAR/ALA/Theanine stack

    Alex: Don't know much about Canadian import laws, as I live here in the U.S. ALCAR is just an overall good supplement. Its uses include (1) removing supply of l-carnitine for fat oxidation; (2) improving cholinergic function (for one's brain); (3) retardation of Alzheimer's; (4) improved...

    Follow-up to ALCAR/ALA/Theanine stack

    wedgewood: I am glad to be of some help!! You can visit www.avantlabs.com's feedback forum to read about other protocols using ALCAR and other compounds less expensive than l-theanine. ======================= Blade: Of the two ingredients in the stack, the important one is ALCAR. You can...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    wedgewood: Using ornithine (500 mg) instead of l-theanine didn't seem to do much for me (tried it four 3 - 4 days). If ornithine administration is to work for BODY BUILDERS, I think its dosage should be higher than 500 mg. There are others at Avant Labs who have tried ALCAR + l-ornithine --...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    At BAC, $20 for 1.5 months of ALCAR (500 mg, 120 caps). Assuming you take 3 / day. At 1fast400, $25 for 24 days of l-theanine (100 mg, 180 caps). Assuming you take 7 per day. The expensive ingredient is l-theanine, BUT you can reduce its dosage once your sleep starts getting shorter. Sooner...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    wedgewood: If you have been taken continuous l-theanine + ALCAR day after day, you will notice there will be days when you don't need to take l-theanine or ALCAR at all and still feel fine with 4-5 hours of sleep. What this is telling me is that there seems to be a "buildup" of ALCAR...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    You need to mix the brew yourself. I don't sell this -- I just posted the formula and the protocol here for some feedback, that is all. The individual ingredients are quire easily accessible -- they are just amino acids. Unless you live in Norway, like Blade. ========================= There...

    Colostrum

    Jon. Your colostrum probably did more good for your body than Myostat did for me.

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    Blade -- I am sure you will like the stack. I am not though sure if it will entirely cure 5 a.m. blues. That is a lot of sleep to make up. --------------------------- Wedgewood: I have not used r-ALA for this. Don't know much whether r-ALA improves ALCAR's cholinergic properties, which is...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    Yes, AND sleep LESS as well. What is interesting is that it seems to be GOOD for the body!! I wish I had this stack when I was in school.

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    mimic: (1) Calories may not make any difference -- it is just that I was on maintenance cals when I was experimenting. There is some likelihood that the protocol may not work if you cut too many calories; I am speculating that it is the high dopamine release (by l-theanine) which aids in...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    Steve. Check out the thread at Avant Labs forum. <a href="http://forum.avantlabs.com/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=3815&s=578d4f9bb34b6ab9837e0d76f3aa28ff" target="_blank"> http://forum.avantlabs.com/index.p....&amp;t=3815[/url] I give more details there. It is a tricky protocol, as you may have...

    Sleep Reduction with ALCAR + l-theanine

    Time = money, right? I have been experimenting with ALCAR + l-theanine stack for a while, in order to reduce sleep duration, increase the quality of sleep, and increase the feeling of well-being (during the day upon awaking, that is). I believe I have arrived at the proper protocol for...

    What Jon Stark said. Robert Thoburn is supposed to come out with an article describing roles of different isomers, so I will wait for that too.
