L-Cysteine and L-Histidine

Unread postby Ghost » Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:04 am

These have been working for PFS people (where I've been lurking recently looking for leads). At least 2 people have reversed PFS from them. People ask me often what I think might be something new that hasn't been tested yet, and this is that most current thing. If anyone tries it, please let me know how it goes and I'll relay it back to the PFS people.

The User Tubzy:

Hi, so just wanted to do an updated after two weeks of experimenting with this idea so far.

What I found was that histidine and cysteine puts my libido, digestion, erections back to normal. I take 250mg of each twice a day, but went up to 500mg of each once a day too. I tried multiple other options like adding in zinc and copper with it and it completely destroys most of the benefits from it. So I still can't handle zinc or copper yet. Histidine increases zinc uptake to tissue so I'm just letting it naturally do the work through foods.

The only thing that didn't get fully resolved is my energy levels and still have some water retention in my face. So I think it is cortisol related because when I take RU it completely fixes that part since it blocks cortisol. I talked to Gbol extensively about this and he thinks as histidine increases stomach acid and gets zinc back into tissue again this will get cortisol sensitive again. Same goes with taking small amounts of HCL.

I highly suggest anyone reading this thread to try or start with 250mg of hisitidine HCL and cysteine HCL taken together. Make sure you get the HCL form of the aminos though so they absorb. If you don't notice anything up it to 500mg of each taken together once a day. This has worked for many people so far that I talked to in private here so far.

My next step is to start brewers yeast with HCL along the hisitidine and cysteine I'm already taking. Goal is leverage the zinc and B vitamins along with the aminos in the brewers yeast to start replenishing mineral store quicker now since digestion seems to back in order pretty well.

I'm not doing the FULL protocol yet (I haven't added in serine, aspartic acid and the other aminos or the liquid electrolytes). I was planning to just use the brewers yeast for the remaining aminos or just get the amino acid supplement I posted on the previous page. I toyed with beta alanine once with histidine, but haven't taken it enough to really draw any conclusion yet.

I also did test histidine by itself up to 3 grams (mentioned it in one of the pages in this thread) and did not get the same benefits when it was used soley alone. When I added in cysteine felt much much better (so cysteine does have influence)

Other things I noticed:

hair is growing much fast all over
hair growing darker/thicker looking
skin looks better
wake up with rock erection every morning, intense orgasms and big loads
decrease in brain fog, much better focus
muscles more full (not sure if this is directly related to the aminos or just from my digestion/metabolism getting fully back to normal TBH)

So in conclusion for anyone that wants to try (this is the starter/ghetto version):
250mg (or 500mg) histidine HCL
250mg (or 500mg) cysteine HCL
250mg - 500mg betaine HCL with each meal (technically optional) to absorb vitamins/minerals better and retain them quicker. Dissolve in water -not capsule
zinc/copper but do NOT start with this as it will castrate you or reduce benefits, stick to brewers yeast if you really want to use something right away
full amino acid supplement (optional/experimental)
brewers yeast for minerals and B vitamins since histidine will increase stomach acid (1 tsp - 2 tablespoon daily)
liquid electrolytes supplement (haven't tried)


The user Scenes:

Yeah pfs not my issue anymore - at least while I’m on cysteine and copper. Not willing to come off just yet and see if I’m entirely balanced/cured. Been about 2 weeks. I was already doing well before cysteine but still had issues with erection quality - cysteine within a day or two just fixed it like it was never a problem.

Still planning to add histidine and see how it affects me, and also potentially zinc but that has always been bad news for me...we’ll see.

I want to fix my hair next, and this zinc finger theory seems a viable pathway to do it, just got to find the balance.

There’s a German website, too.

[edit: wrong product!] https://www.bulkpowders.de/n-acetyl-l-cystein-de.html
[edit: not the HCl version] https://www.bulkpowders.de/l-histidin-de.html

Here’s a German source for L-Cysteine HCl:
L - Cystein HCL Kapseln 90 Kapseln https://www.amazon.de/dp/B008OFM60K/ref ... oAbH6J2YRM

They offer L-Histidine too, but again, it’s not the HCl version.

Please before ordering:

-> Its L-Cysteine and NOT N-ACETYL-L-CYSTEINE (NAC)
-> If you dont find the HCl version, buy Betaine HCl and open the capsule, dissolve it in water and drink it.

Yeah I'm not sure whether to ship from the US because the European ones linked and all the ones I can find don't specify HCI, and on the forum people were saying it's important.

Nice! I have also ordered and will be trying!

I am working to understand the method of action still, but I know that what has been hypothesized relates to Cortisol and Progesterone indirectly.

I'll be interested to hear what you find @coraggio
