@@executivezone1 mugwort. you're welcome... Make a tea 🍵 enjoy before bed. And smoke it. It's going to be better. Just letting you know. You can also mix it with sleepy time tea and some honey and a bit of lemon which will curb the bitterness. And also if you actually want to know the effects. Set your alarm. Learn your REM cycle. Normally people within the first 90 minutes are going to have a dream. If you go to sleep and you expect to remember and recall your dreams. It's not going to happen if you fall asleep and just sleep. If you really want to dream recall. And you're not one that wakes up. Go ahead and set an alarm. If you have a watch that helps you find your rim cycle that'll help you more. Cheers have fun

I recommend to improve the quality such video, is to mention the location of all these enzymes, namely Cytosolic, and for added clarity you also can mention the gene symbols of the enzymes, so the viewer can go and search for them better. Enzymes gene symbols are: TPH1 orTPH2 then DDC then AANAT then finally ASMT all are cytosolic, then the product which is either Serotonin or Melatonin will go to Vesicles via special channels like VMAT2 Thanks for the video

Did you know this? - Glyphosate (aka Roundup, herbicide) suppresses a plant enzyme EPSPSthat plants need to synthesize tryptophane and phenylalanine, as well as tyrosine, leading to the death of the plant. But also: These three amino acids, forming the aromatic group of the amino acids are essential for the production of serotonin, dopamine, and melatonine. Just saying. (Now I would like to know how much decades of use of glyphosate have influenced the physiology of the plants we eat, and what this might mean for the mental health of humanity ).

I would be cautious taking L-Tryptophan as this can also be converted to Quinolinic Acid. This molecule is eventually converted to NAD+ but Quinolinic Acid is toxic in high amounts and is the limiting step of the chemical reaction. If you notice any ill effects after taking L-Tryptophan I would recommend consulting with a trusted medical professional.

i suspect the conversion from normelatonin to melatonin. the absence from blue light might be involved in the production of the last methylation enzyme. but that is just guessing from my side. at least a bit of supplementation of tmg and msm can boost this. now i understand why some people (including me) are reporting from vivid dreams when taking msm - which is a methyl donor. taking tmg+msm is something that i do sometimes.

Do you believe that N, N-Dimethyltryptamine is synthesized by the human brain? The structure is so closely related to tryptophan and serotonin but there doesn't seem to be any clear answer anywhere. A study has already confirmed that rats synthesize DMT endigenously, however nothing has confirmed this in humans to my knowledge.

Tabii sürekli değil, belki birkac günlük bir tedavi... wake therapy for depression and bu serotonin melatonin dönüşümü icin neler soyleyebilirsiniz? Uykusuz kalmak beynin serotonin miktarını artırıp resetleme ihtimali doğurur mu?
