Picamilon vs GABA

[Ockie]

So many people seems to be using GABA now ... be it to calm nerves .... gyming (it helps your body release more human growth hormone) etc etc. I did some reading ... and it seems that GABA if taken orally (or by any other means for that matter) does not actually cross the blood brain barrier.

Russia developed Picamilon which is GABA bonded with Niacin .... in this form it does cross the blood brain barier and then gets broken down into GABA and Niacin again.

So which one do you guys think would work better? Picamilon is freely available in the US as a supplement. .... but I dont think I have seen it here. Only normal GABA. Do any of you guys use Picamilon?

Ocks I have nfi what you are on about

I take GABA to help me sleep - don't care about the hype. I don't think its possible to cross the blood/brain barrier?

GABA is a amini acid I think. It can help with mood, sleep and also increases human growth hormone ... hence why some people take it for gym. The problem is GABA cant cross into your actual brain if you take it oraly....so the Russians bound it to Niacin which then allows it to cross over into your actual brain.

I am just wondering ... surely Picamilon must then work much better if it can actually reach your brain, unlike GABA?

Haven't heard of either. But I could use some help sleeping. And if it helps in the gym that would be a bonus.

Why do you want to take it?

I get agro very quickly with people. I went bat sh*t crazy with this guy @ PnP cause I was looking at something while standing in the q ... but he thought I was not in the q and was shopping so took my place. I went on a rampage. It was not called for and had he punched me in the face I would have deserved it. My sleep is also interrupted and iratic sometimes and makes me even more grumpy pants.

The fact that it encourages human growth hormone and will give me a super size penis is a big plus also

My sister and house mate have started taking for gym and I have taken one or two from them ... and it does seem to make my sleep deeper.

Nee fock that super size penis thing is a lie

Why not join them in gym? You can let off some frustration and check out some hot guys. Kill two birds with one stone as it were.

Seriously though. Where do they get the GABA from? I might manage a decent gym workout if I managed a decent nights sleep.

I never have and enver will see the inside of a gym.....except as a spectator perhaps (but as with Sandy Bay ... watching and not partaking might be frowned upon)

You can buy GABA at Dischem. Biogen, Solal and USN both make it. The Biogen and USN GABA is high dose though I think. Careful for those as high doses they say can make you very alert ... while very calm at the same time ... so might interfere with sleep.
