Update of my meds

Well, I've added two more supplements. First, I've updated my 5HTP supplement after the previous supply ended. Second, I've added a new energy supplement.

Natures Harmony 5-HTP 50 mg/capsule, 90 capsules; no more than 2 capsules a day.
Genuine Health extra energy 90 tablets; 3 tablets a day.


Here's what extra energy has in it:

Taurine 1000 mg
Cola acuminata: Kola nut seed extract (standardized to 10% naturally occurring caffeine) 800 mg
Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) 500 mg
Centella asiatica: Gotu kola herb powder 250 mg
L-Tyrosine 250 mg
Glycine 250 mg
Rhodiola rosea root extract (standardized to 3% rosavin) 135 mg
Pfaffia paniculata: Suma root powder 100 mg
Astragalus membranaceus root powder 100 mg
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl) 25 mg
Chromium (aspartate) 50 mcg

The rhodiola extract is an anti-depressant, as is glycine. On the second day of taking this supplement, my mood has improved. I'll know in a week if it's a placebo effect or an actual improvement caused by the supplement.

Pfaffia and astragalus are for stress.

Tyrosine helps supplement dopamine, noradrenalin and adrenalin.
