Though, males do (mid 30's and up) have more active brain aromatase sites then females, I remember seeing a chart displaying the active zones, it was astonishing stuff, really.

Wow, this actually makes sense, thanks for the response guys! I wikipedia'd GABA and got that "it plays the principal role in reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system".

Hence, with reduced GABA, perhaps parts of my brain is feeling too excited and unregulated.

Lotus, do you have some examples of what specific supplements these would point to:
"Personally, I believe serotonin should be stimulated (more) during daytime hours while GABA and growth hormone at night." I've perused NBE before and don't remember too much talk about growth hormones.

Thanks!

Progesterone (cream) upregulates GABA, thus taking it at bedtime would be preferable in lowering excitability and promoting deeper sleep, which helps with the release of growth hormones, the first two of hours of sleep being the highest peak of GH though. For me, a nighttime growth supplementation is using MSM, bromelain (from pineapple) which breaks down amino acids into repair peptides, or simply put stronger collagen. Other things I think of are introducing prolactin at bedtime while simultaneously introducing progesterone (as estrogen will be lowered).......milk thistle is what I would reach for, and a good ol' nipple stimulation works too. Vitex is possible too, though I would try to keep it between 40mg to 120mg.

In another thought, sodium chloride (found in saline nose sprays) is in my opinion a intercellular communicator capable of promoting cellular synthesis of hormones. We could talk about that later though.
