I couldn't open any of those studies because it was denying my account.

I want to know if any of those studies are talking about orally administered GABA and not GABA injected directly into the brain systematically.

Referring to the interaction with the hypothalamus.....or periventricular nucleus.

ya. well if you get quality vitamins then the prices will be higher for stuff. with some of these guys i could see the price of food per week easily getting to that point. shit with the amount of lean beef and chicken some of these guys consume daily its ridiculous. imo if youre a pro BB or someone doing it competitely thats fine, but for the average guy thats just trying to put on some weight and get bigger, i dont see why you would go to the extreme of doing it.

Lol, this.
Most of those are like $5-8 a bottle; some are like $3. The fish oil is the most expensive thing (bb.com, 3x 500 count bottles for like $50).

As for the iron: cause, need moar.
As for the 5-HTP: it's not an every single night thing. Just here and there for when I know I'm able to sleep in; otherwise, it'll leave me waking up groggy. The point is deeper sleep. I get that. If it works, why 'fix' it?

Only powders I'm using at the moment are creatine monohydrate, maltodextrin, gatorade mix (lulz)--all of which are very cheap when bought in bulk--and whey; would be taking casein, but stuff has gotten pricey. Might even replace whey in the near future for a cheaper alternative...
Oh, and I have glucosamine and choline--both also mega cheap.
Not pictured are caffeine capsules, as pre-workout.

I only eat 3-4 lbs of meat each day.

wel fuck me. just wrote like 3 paragraphs and pushed the back button >_< here's a shorter version cuz i'm not writing all that shit up again.

are you asking whether or not they performed open brain surgery, extracting their ecf, then performed a spectroscopy of it before and after gaba was delivered orally? then no. that would be the only way to determine it's direct effect.

it's not some potential carcinogen. gaba is already present in massive quantities w/out the supplement. there's no danger in taking it. i could easily find you a study that does deal with the supplement however. unfortunately any study about a supplement is not credible. there is way too much money to be made or lost.

instead the mechanisms are studied. for instance gaba interacting with the hypothalamus will lead to this or that intermediate. as a result inhibitory mechanisms take place etc etc.

damn bro... and for some reason i thought that picture showed more bottles than that lol. oh well. shit can still get expensive quick. and got dayum thats alot of meat

what's your daily protein intake?

The picture doesn't have any of my powers in it.
Those are just bottles of pills. Vitamins & minerals and extracts. Calcium, magnesium, vitamin-c, green tea extract, zinc, vitamin-a, etc..

Around 450-475 on an average day.



EDIT: Oh! And I forgot about my b-vitamin complex for pre-workout with the caffeine.
Okay...I think I've hit everything now...lol
