Stressors, like heavy training, cause
disturbances in hormones and parameters associated with the
central nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
axis (HPA). Among other things, HPA changes include an increase
in cortisol (a muscle wasting stress hormone), a reduced
sensitivity of the HPA to feedback down-regulation and a
disruption in the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion.
Central nervous system changes include the stress-induced
depletion of catecholamine neurotransmitters such as
norepinephrine and dopamine.
To successfully combat stress
and stressful situations, adaptation is required. Adaptation
might be best thought of as the ability to be exposed to a
stressor, while responding with either decreased or no
characteristic hormonal changes. Adaptation also implies being
able to reassume a homeostatic state (back to normal) once the
stressor has been removed.
As an example, if a well-trained
athlete participates in an exercise bout inducing a huge HPA
change — about that would absolutely wreck an untrained person —
the athlete will be relatively unaffected. The reason? This is a
result of adaptation that has occurred during the athlete's
training process. After the stress ended, their physiology would
be expected to re-establish homeostasis rapidly. Basically put,
training more causes you to adapt more quickly.
Most of us
are well-trained bodybuilders, so our adaptation process should
be pretty responsive; however, by nature, our sport requires us
to constantly bombard the muscle with stressors in order to
trigger the next level of growth. So how do we maintain this
level of intensity and constant physical punishment without
driving our bodies and our minds to mush?
We’re all familiar
with the numerous approaches for body recovery but what about
the brain? What about the mental and psychological stresses that
you can’t just bench press your way through – like deadlines,
exams, and stressful relationship situations? These can drain
your nervous system, raise cortisol, and waste muscle just as
fast as physical overtraining can. How do you protect and
strengthen your mind so it can adapt and cope with these
situations effectively - thereby minimizing the catabolic stress
response?
Psychotropin is a supplement designed to increase
the body’s ability to handle and adapt to stress while serving
to calm and reset the mind. It can renew central nervous system
function and induce a state of psychological well-being and
physical anabolism. Psychotropin is loaded with a veritable
plethora of mood-elevating nutrients and plant constituents.
Patrick Arnold and ErgoPharm see the future of focus/mood
elevators being an ancillary gadget for heavy training and
bodybuilding.
Phenibut — The chief ingredient of
Psychotropin is a derivative of the brain neurotransmitter amino
acid gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This amino acid derivative
is 3-phenyl GABA, known as the remarkable compound phenibut with
very unique subjective effects. Phenibut gives a calming effect,
however this effect is not associated with any sedation. Quite
the contrary, phenibut seems to enhance concentration and
awareness and it boosts clarity of thinking. It also seems to
allow one to work harder with less perceived effort. It also has
known and studied anti-catabolic effects. For instance, studies
on piglets have shown that phenibut sharply reduces the
corticosteroid response to weaning stress, resulting in enhanced
growth versus controls.
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) — ALCAR
supplementation demonstrates neuronal structural changes in the
brain and plays a role in reducing stress and depression. ALCAR
protects against the decreases in dopamine and testosterone that
normally occurs after exposure to both acute and chronic stress.
ALCAR has also been shown to substantially increase circulating
IGF-1 levels in non-symptomatic HIV+ as well as normal
people.
Bacopa Monnieri — In use for several thousand years
in Ayurvedic medicine as a brain nerve tonic, Bacopa monnieri is
now being recognized for its memory enhancing by possibly
improving the conductivity of nerve tissue as well as for its
adaptogenic effects as it possesses mild sedative and
anti-anxiety properties.
L-Theanine — Theanine may have both
mood enhancing and nootropic properties. Theanine shows promise
for improving learning performance, heightening mental acuity,
increasing the formation of GABA, and increasing brain dopamine
levels among other positive neurological benefits. Theanine has
also been purported to reduce the ill effects of over
stimulation from caffeine.
DMAE — DMAE has been used as a
mood elevator for decades. After frequent use of DMAE subjects
have reported more restful sleep while requiring less.
Researchers have speculated that DMAE increases brain
acetylcholine levels by inhibiting choline metabolism in
peripheral tissues — although not directly as a choline
precursor —thereby allowing free choline to accumulate and
subsequently converted to acetylcholine.
