Just tried it this morning with a 1.5mg Nicotine mint pill thing and 420mg soy lecithin extract. |

Just figured this out a while ago. |

Out of interest, how is Nicotine an ACE inhibitor? I thought it was just a nAChR agonist? |
|
ACE inhibitor is not anticholinesterase inhibitor. |
|
Oh sorry I read "Acetylcholinesterase". Never heard of anticholinesterase. |
|
Are you meant to swallow the gum lol |
|
lol, still not ACE inhibitor. |
|
Thanks for the response, tell us how you get on with the pills! |
|
Tommo, don't you mean acetylcholinesterase (ACE) breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, and anti-cholinesterase (ACE inhibitor) inhibits acetylcholinesterase? |

No.... I meant cholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine in to choline and acetic acid. |
|
I just saw that post in the 'new posts' sidebar, and I thought to myself, "I bet he is replying to something tommo said". |
|
no. You said "acetylcholinesterase (ACE) breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid" |
|
Cholinesterase is actually a group of enzymes which break down acetylcholine. Acetylcholinesterase is one of the members of that family, and also breaks down acetylcholine. So they're pretty much the same thing in this circumstance. |
|
Ahehehehehehm. |
|
Interesting stuff. I use nicotine, but not choline. Is this something that you can get at a regular store that sells supplements, or do you have to order it online? |
|
Choline is not illegal anywhere, so any supplement store will sell it. |
|
The nicotine might work..but it also may give you cancer. Not worth it. |
|
Nicotine by itself may increase risk of cancer by about 1.2%, which is statistically insignificant. It's all the other shit they put in cigarettes that'll kill you. |
|
How do you get that that's statistically insignificant? The result is 1.2%, but the significance is unknown unless you provide the sample size and the occurence of cancer in each subject. Then you could figure out if the chance of getting that 1.2% result by mere fluke is less than 5% (which would make it a significant result); which is probably where you're getting confused? |
|
I knew someone would pick up on that lol |
|
Nicotine alone is probably what's responsible for your more vivid dreams. Caffeine, if you take it directly after waking up for WBTB has a pretty similar effect. Stimulants give you lighter sleep--the key is not to take a stimulant that will keep you awake. Nicotine and caffeine both work pretty indirectly as CNS stimulants, so they're pretty good to use for this purpose. |
