!!! Hmm. Well when something is too good to be true, it generally is. From what little reading I've done on PS, seems like it "used" to be sourced from bovine brains. I can't see that happening nowadays with BSE being rampant.

Now I'm curious as fuck where they get it from. lol.

That's pretty much my reason to, Mike. It's not that I want to piss cash out the door but convenience and not having the pain-in-the-ass of trying to guess what you're actually consuming has value. If I were to ever use PS (beyond what I do now) it would be purely situational and so the cost wouldn't be that big of a deal... especially at $33 a bottle.

In fact, what's sad is that I think that Prosource bottle is about the same price as I paid for 60 100mg pills... I totally got raped.

If you take a 200-300g Lecithin shake a day, you'll be all set

They used to get most PS from cow brains but now get it from soy because of the disease factor...

What's the PS dosage in mammal brains? A Lebanese restaurant around the corners sells a pretty taste lamb brain paste.

CNS recovery:

=big meal/high calorie/nice mix of macros
=B-Complex...huge for cns recovery...you'll feel its effects quite fast..
=Melatonin....go with an unusually high(er) dosage...so if you normally take 3-5mg...take 10-15mg...
=ZMA
=5htp/tryptophan can also be in there for their potential to improve sleep quality and thereby aid in faster recovery
