Thread: Resistant Starch and Dreaming

Sounds plausible, particularly the serotonin angle. If so, one might expect a similar effect compared to 5-HTP. Personally, 5-HTP gives me an upset stomach and none of the positive claimed benefits. I think such is the case for a minority of others. So RS might be an alternative way to stimulate the serotonin effect on dream vividness.

Hey Avalokiteshvara

I bought some potato starch today and will have a table spoon in water tonight. I will gradually increase it to the recommended 4 tablespoons a day. They say it brings down blood glucose and increases insulin sensitivity. I'm a late onset diabetic. I will let you know what happens to my sleep and dreams.

Here is what i found when i Googled Potato starch (an easy to take RS (resistant starch)

I’ve done two “cycles” of supplementing RS over the last 3 weeks. The first time was two weeks worth of supplementing in the morning and evening, each, with 2 tablespoons worth of Bob’s PS in water. I experienced awesome sleep and vivid dreams but can’t report on much else besides a moderate amount of flatulence. (...)

Yes, and my wife just began a week or so ago at 2T in water or a bit of milk (...)

... Anyway, I did her drink two nights in a row, she had comatose sleep. I didn’t the third night. Not such great sleep. She asked, how come you didn’t bla bla bla. You have to make it yourself.

So she did. Slept bomb. So now she does it every night.
