Epinephrine? Can I just eat your adrenal gland?
Short version: can anybody PM me a sweet direction on how to obtain, use, or stimulate production of epinephrine? I'm familiar with using phenylalanine and nac-tyrosine for endogenous. Just wondering if there are epi-pens available on the interwebs or better methods I'm not aware of. I'm sure it's dangerous too so fill me in on that if possible.
Long version:
Not in med school, but I have all of my cousin's text books, and I'm reading some interesting shit. A lot of stuff I've been doing wrong.
I've been taking arginine for over a year and a half in fairly large quantities, because of it's stated benefits. Since that time though I've not lost more than 10 pounds, in spite of eating only spinach and meat for weeks along with moderate cardio and heavy lifting. Occassional shift in muscularity, but no body fat gone.
So then I'm reading in a bio-chem text that arginine is insulinogenic. Well ****ing duh. I remember reading somewhere how to test the purity of arginine by measuring the change in your blood sugar. (the actual tutorial was flawed, but the premise remains).
In this same text, epiniphrine is said to be an insulin antagonist. So one defeats the other. Instead of scaring myself into low blood sugar, I'm wondering if there are effective route to this end.
Hit me!
