First day testing 500mg "NOW" brand Taurine supplementation. I feel pretty good despite it being way way too hot in my space to do anything productive. (air conditioner shipment delayed!) https://t.co/57Mo5lu42m
Ooh, that might work (low glycimic index). Also just realized that I might be able to get away with collagen peptides since it would be such a small amount it'd probably not add much to what i'm already taking. Thnx! https://t.co/KrQgCl2lzW
There is some cysteine in my Muscle Milk that I use for breakfast, but there doesn't appear to be Taurine. Looks like collagen peptides are already loaded with Glycine, so will be interesting to find out if I get a result from supplementing with that in the future..
3rd day of Taurine. I feel somewhat more focused mentally and am more motivated. I am actually doing things like cleaning.That also means I tweet more (and maybe that's a bad thing?)Need to figure out how to redirect this energy into productivity.
Still having a lot of luck with 500mg Taurine helping with focus and clarity.I noticed it interact with my taste / pallet in an interesting way. Does anybody else notice changes in what they enjoy when taking it?Please DM me about it so not to pollute other's ideas.
Going to consume some CBG (cannabigerol) and Capsaicin extract at same time b/c CBG seems to hit TRPA1 and Capsaicin hits TRPV1.CBG also seems to mute TRPM8; suggests enhancement thru interactions between TRPM8 => TRPV1.TL;DR: emulating garlic extract.https://t.co/gMlNVDyIa1
@GentleMutt A garlic extract of Allicin might "help with digestion" because it seems to be metabolized into cysteine, which can further be turned into Taurine. Taurine is interesting to me right now b/c of impacts on Gaba and role in bile acids.https://t.co/j47Uf69Xfo
Allicin seems to do similar things to TRPM8 as CBG, so I find it fascinating.https://t.co/8oJCUXlJbVCBG on it's own via oral route gave me the sensation that occurs when I feel like I'm about to vomit.
Still feels like I gotta vomit a bit. But I don't actually have nausea.I think i'm on the right track. Garlic causes nausea in people. If I took any more than 5mg of the CBG I bet i'd outright throw up. My throat feels like it's closing up / constricted and it's super annoying.
Oh neat, I already have some notes on TRPA1 possibly desensitizing capsaicin response. Unexpectedly powerful.https://t.co/G46Yvl1iZB
This idea makes more sense now: https://t.co/4s0zNx4KKz
Itch is fascinating. Why do I itch so much?https://t.co/VdYVMKSQAs
I wish we knew more about SSRIs and other serotonin regulation mechanisms impact stuff in OCD and itch. I think something is there that seems to coincide w/ my own biology. Sometimes I can't stop itching & thinking about them once surprised by an insect.https://t.co/7AgcbT91LS
Experimenting on a budget during a global pandemic, like one does. https://t.co/KNFRoJF6d3
My teeth and gums have been hyper sensitive to cold ever since my sense of capsaicin has disappeared in my mouth. Heat sensing is still not back in my mouth. :(https://t.co/f6WR3FWwEQ
"For example, when pain was inflicted upon him, he could change his nerve receptors from transmitting pain to pleasure, allowing him to enjoy the injurious experience, saying to Aeryn while she twisted his arm, "Please, push harder,""https://t.co/CKWw7hIWkb https://t.co/HLiA4q6kkL
I can't stand it getting below 70* right now in my room. It's physically painful on my arms. Feels like knives stabbing me all over.https://t.co/UtFnBWAnt0
I noticed the shift in my pallet when I did the CBG, but I think it maybe an interaction with Taurine ala changes in Heat Shock Protein Expression. There are possibly other confounders in this space too that I haven't quite figured out.https://t.co/0bHwhwJqCk
It might also explain my weird sleep problems (weird for me) that I've been having. I got locked into sleeping during the day for ~2 weeks and my schedule kept jumping back by 7 hours.https://t.co/AgO9lCKb8w
Stopped Taurine for a month and just started again a few days ago. Taurine's impact on mood and taste takes a couple of days to really kick in. I suspect a microbiota shift due to bile acid changes.A friend mentioned same w/ straight Gaba - 3 days or so.
I ate cheese and got sun.My brain comes back. How fun.https://t.co/6MUYLbpvUC
I figured out lemon+cayanne "Detoxes" that are often done in tandem with fasting are probably acting on bile function via their activity on TRPA1.I took a big chug of lemon juice and cayanne infused olive oil. About 30 minutes later I started sweating and felt itchy. Liver?
I also confirmed that fermentation of foodstuffs often increases Vitamin A and lowers vitamin C. This should work for most red plant foods, including carrot, but also spicy peppers.My next project may be to ferment hot sauce. https://t.co/4S8YtgCEKfhttps://t.co/Rvy5o8E56Z https://t.co/NGKRIL6en5
It felt a lot like what happened when I drank the weird apple cayenne lemon blend, but it was more irritanting than flow-state inducing.(also, how do I remove coffee stains from a glazed cup?)https://t.co/RCYkcGvx0b https://t.co/GVq4Z4q2Ot
Someone recommend I try this recipe out.I had all ingredients already cuz I've been min-maxing around brain health (Arteriosclerosis can be rethought as a cholesterol deposition dysfunction). garlic, cayenne, turmeric, lemon, apple, pepper, olive oilhttps://t.co/rkWOz6rM39 https://t.co/mPnsv8QN1y
