l-dopa

[bubba10]

i have seen a lot of suppliers selling l-dopa
what is this stuff

 

[Nimrod25]

L-dopa has been researched for numerous applications.It is mainly used as dopamine replacement at high doses in Parkinson's patients. L-dopa, at and around 500mgs, on an empty stomach, will cause a spike of close 900% of natural GH. It also has a naturally occurring ingredient that helps to maintain higher GH levels.

How long does this spike last for?

Does anyone remember the movie Awakenings with Robert Deniro. Didn't they give the patients in the movie l-Dopa, and after prolonged use they became extremely paranoid. Is there any truth to that?

 

[sathanas]

It is true.I wouldn't mess with it.It is known to cause psychoses.

 

[Nimrod25]

You know what kind of doses u have to take for it to cause psychosis? Cmon guys don't believe everything you hear. Low doses put your GH through the roof for many hours.

How does GABA compare? I know L-Dopa isnt available without a script.

 

[Nimrod25]

It is a neuro-transmitter, but doesn't compare to L-Dopa's GH increasing ability. 5g's before bed shows a growth increase of about 5x's the base plasma levels.

 

[lawnsaver]

How would you compare the GH level increase between say 2ius of GH compared to 500mg of L-dopa?

Also can you get it overseas?

 

[Nimrod25]

500mg L-Dopa would be almost identical to 2iu of GH. However pure L-dopa is hard to get. I have used a product called the velvet bean. It contains about 15% L-Dopa close to 150mgs.
Took 3 teaspoons daily, worked very nicely.

i thought cyclist used this stuff?

 

[gamecock]

I am trying a pinnacle product called alpha-dopa. I just started so I dont' know what to expect. has anyone tried it. if i did score some L-dopa when in the day should i take it. before a workout, then throw in some heavy squats and deadlifts so the gh levels soar or maybe in the morning i don't know. help me out.

l-dopa makes your brain create more dopamine. An overabundance of dopamine is what plaques schizophrenics, which is why l-dopa can cause psychosis. If you use the Murcurna (sp?) bean extract form, be sure to take it on an empty stomach or it won't absorb. Best time is at bedtime.

From the PDR:

The most common serious adverse reactions occurring with carbidopa-levodopa are choreiform, dystonic, and other involuntary movements. Other serious adverse reactions are mental changes including paranoid ideation and psychotic episodes, depression with or without development of suicidal tendencies, and dementia. Convulsions also have occurred; however, a causal relationship with carbidopa-levodopa has not been established.



Psychiatric: confusion, sleepiness, insomnia, nightmares, hallucinations, delusions, agitation, anxiety, euphoria.

Nice sides,eh?

I was wondering what about L-glutamine. It was documented that just 2 grams taken on empty stomach elevates GH release by 400%. 5 grams or more will significantly bump GH levels even more.

I had some alpha-dopa from pinnacle a couple months ago. I chewed 5 of them whenever i had an empty stomach, usually sometime between breakfast and my mid-morning meat meal, right before lifting, and before bed. i was using fina for the first time too so i can't really say if it helped.
