Fat man on a weight-loss kick.

Interesting thread.

I'd love to see your blood work results. Are you doing much work directly supervised? With your condition, deadlifts &/or squats could be problematic

I only just signed up to Lifestyle fit in Marickville. I'm just using the machines while I get through this book (Starting strength). I don't know anyone up there or anyone interested in doing this with me so I'm kind of winging it.

Newtown is enough to lower anyones testosterone

But seriously... YOu need some testing.


Remember Melatonin helps us sleep ... Melatonin comes from serotonin. Serotonin from 5htp and 5htp from l-tryptophan.

There are various processes needed to ensure these take place. Or you can supplement i do... Melatonin decreases cortisols response to its stimulating hormone ACTH.

Remember we want cortisol low at night and high in the morning. I found computers and alot of light at night effected my sleep pattern actually changing my cortisol pattern. I was higher at night (when i felt most awake)..

You can try..

Yeah i have about 6 bottles, no problems...

Hilarious if it is actually "illegal" as it is a potent antioxidant anti cancer substance..

They are all too wiling to not ban bad food additives, cancer causing chemicals due to lack of evidence.. But whe it comes to things that are good and there is NO evidence and never will be they are sitll banned?

Frustration much.

Interesting, I assume that melatonin is pharmaceutical grade?
Australian manufactured melatonin is around $60 per 100 capsules, it also requires a prescription.

5mg is a fairly heavy dose to start with, I would have started around the 3mg level.
Also that looks like an instant release, not a sustained release. Or is it?

It might work fine, at that price it would not hurt

Most peoples problem is getting to sleep.. Once asleep the body can do the rest.

For the price you can't complain. This substance should not require a prescription it's just another money grab.
