i found out that the EGCG in green tea extract helps transport the hyperzine a into the receptors.
Epimedium(horny goat weed) is another somatostatin inhibitor but it's milder. Afaik, arginine don't have this effect.
yeah im not a big fan of horny goat weed either. i no picky picky .
there is a lot of info out there they suggest that lysine/arginine does have a somatostatin inhibitor effect. to what degree i havent been able to find yet.
I'll study the arginine/lysine thing out. There was a study about this combo increasing GH but Idk the mechanism. I used to take this combo at night because peptides can mess with your sleep.
i know a lot of people are getting good reults using hyperzine a but the side effects worry me a little. doesnt l-arginine do the same thing? blocks somatostatin.
also why is green tea extract helpful?
What sides are you referring to? I havent noticed any sides from it at all. Just curious.
i was referring to the side effects listed on webmd. i always check everything on webmd only problem is everything has side effects so ya gotta way the pros and cons.
I'm currently taking huperzine a and have zero sides. The only thing that I would be concerned with is if I took it late, I would probably have sleeping problems.

Yes just try to avoid taking it late so it doesn't effect your sleep. There are many things that inhibit acetylcholinesterase/somatostatin. For effectiveness you can't go wrong with huperzine a. Green tea is another great one plus that has tonnes of benefits so it a fantastic supplement peps or not. I love arginine so adding in a bit of that is never a bad thing either.
I am just about to order huperzine a myself to add to my log I also have green tea powder on the way too. I am adding them in now purposely to report the differences they bring
do you know how much egcg show be taken pre injection?
Some protocols only use 50 mcs X 3. I'm currently only taking 100 mcgs per day. Not using DAC yet tho.
Yes a dose of 100-200mg 3 times daily would be gtg.
If you add in huperzine then about 100mcg 3 times daily would be gtg.
Doses don't have to be exact but thereabout is gtg. Like with anything start off low (if possible) and move up slowly.
crap i just ordered supps and forgot the grean tea :banghead:
are you talking 100-200mg of extract or pure egcg?
