I'm going to give everyone some free advice: any amino acid or protein supplement you take orally for a structure/function purpose is a complete waste of money. The acidic environment of the stomach will protonate sites on the amino acids and change their conformational structure. That's why monoclonal antibodies are injectable.

This is kinda my thing, big proponent of medicinal mushrooms and adaptogens. I’d suggest getting Reishi and Chaga involved as well. This is my personal favorite blend of them and more that helps with a multitude of things along with anxiety relief (energy, immune support, memory/clarity, mood etc.)
https://www.amazon.com/Om-Organic-Mu...6&gad_source=1 Otherwise if you’re trying to go the full bio-hacking route to see what specifically works for you best there’s plenty of options to get just specific strains to see what all works for you. Also sounds like CBD could potentially be a good route for you. I can point you in the direction of more resources if you’d like, feel free to shoot me a dm. |

I'd just buy some 4Sigmatic or other Nootropic coffee/drink mix (I drink a lot of Odysssey 222 for my afternoon energy boost.. but it also has monkfruit / erythritol which isn't great for you).
Not sure about your feelings on or access to psychedelics, but you might look into microdose protocols as well. |

Oral serotonin not being effective is new info for me though. In a nutshell what you are saying is any amino acid based compound isn't effective taken orally (if taken for functional purposes). |

Almost every doctor Ive ever talked to think Nootropics is a bunch of hogwash. I assume most of it is but after taking a medical probiotic and seeing how theanine can work there has to be some benefits.

Probably helps that BPC-157 is made naturally in the gastric lining. |
