http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...ubmed_RVDocSum on cholesterol: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...ubmed_RVDocSum I find this last one interesting. I don't see any harm in trying it at this time. It would depend on what was going on to need improvement. Increasing cells(growth factor) is somewhat different than enabling specific functions. There are many papers on PubMed using this keyword: Hericium erinaceus

Thanks much. That's kind of what I found. I, myself, am not interested in it. Someone else was trying it and I really do not know why. Personally, I think they are trying everything and really do not know what they are doing. Thanks again.

You can take ALC alone, it might not be as effective. I take the R-Lipoic acid, and i know that the neuro-optimizer might be good, but you have to take like 4 capsules what's with that?

He sells stuff tho. I typically read his comments about supplements, and he often puts up studies which are useful. But he is not my first and only source of information. He is not Dr. Amen. Dr. Amen is a psychiatrist who specializes in Brain imaging. He uses supplements at times for treatment of mental illness, but is not primarily a supplement specialist or expert. (he started out as a specialist in ADHD and Bipolar).

I've been thinking about trying Inositol and will probably order some this week. FYI re: NeuroOptimizer, I only take 2 and feel a big difference. re: Tryptophan - be very careful - if you are taking anti-depressants you should probably not take it. There is the possibility of Seratonin sydrome, especially if you take it along with SSRIs. In fact my Lexapro has a warning specifically about Tryptophan. If I was NOT taking any depression meds however, I would definitely give L-tryptophan or 5HTP a try before getting on meds.

The blanket warnings for the general population remain in place, because SSRIs are serious drugs and should be used with caution. But some doctors (esp in Europe) are using l-tryptophan with antidepressants now to reduce doses of the drugs. This is done with medical supervision. Some people with mild to moderate depression can avoid use of SSRIs altogether with proper attention to nutrients that work in the brain. Folic acid, and DHA (a fatty acid) and l-typtophan, B6 etc may not even need an SSRI.

Here is a good site on the subject. Just click on it. http://www.nccam.nih.gov/health/bottle/
The FDA regulates supplements as a food rather than a drug. The manufacturer does not have to prove that they are effective, or safe or the quality of them. And you better know what drugs you are also taking if you take supplements.
