Wow, you guys are really getting into it. I clicked that link you gave mertdog, good information inside of it!
A small question though - Are there any downs or negatives in using the dosing suggested in that thread: (50-100mg a night every third week of a cycle) ?? Any negatives of benadryl use like this that possibly outweigh the good?
And I looked into the adrenal support blend products. The keyword is “Adaptogen” correct? All things aside, I still use caffeine and train hard and often - so I’d still like some equalizers. Does anybody have any experience supplementing with adaptogens of any sort in this regard?
Thanks - I’m learning stuff!
hey man - the herbs I recommended, astragalus and rhodiola, are adaptogenic herbs. i’ve taken them both - the rhodiola has been particularly effective. i’ve trained my ass off and been hypocaloric and on stims and not so much as gotten a sore throat or sniffle in months. my immunity has been terrific on it. astragalus is also excellent, but i’ve really put the rhodiola to the test more than i ever have with astragalus.
you might also want to look into herbs and nutrients that support thyroid function, since adrenals and thyroid function as part of a system. forskolin’s good for that - it’s in Carbolin 19 if you’re interested. and again, b-complex vitamins, C, fish oil, basic stuff like that is key.[/quote]
To chime in here, some herbs to help with your thyroid are: Algazim(kelp),Irish Moss, Bladderwrack, and for a bit more boost, try the amino Tyrosine.
